Comment:

YC was probably the worst teacher I've ever had. If you have never done ceramics do NOT take her course. She failed miserably in actually teaching the foundation of beginning ceramics and very few students were actually able to finish her course work. If you enjoy making pieces that are traditional and functional you're going to have a bad time.

LOVE Y.C. KIM. great teacher, amazing artist... So much knowledge to share. If you are serious about art, she will inspire and push your limits. You will grow as an artist in her classes and if you take a little time to get to know her on a personal level, she is the most caring professor I've ever had. Very invested in her students success!!

Comment:

YC Kim is not a wonderful teacher & an incredible artist. Like others have said, she isnt tolerant to students who are there for an "easy A"-I assume most of the ppl rating her poorly were in search of just that. This isn't "5th grade arts & crafts class", people! If you take her & her class seriously she has SO much knowledge/experience to share!

Comment:

One of my favorites at City. Was an honor to attend this world seasoned artists' classes (I took all of them..all ceramics, and both Contemp Crafts). She has an accent (like alot of other people do) but it doesn't take long to bofore you don't realize it. No lab fees, how people can complain baffles me.

Comment:

Although YC has a thick accent, after a few classes, you get used to it. She always helped me if I needed it. After you get to know her, she is funny. She's a tough grader so try to keep up! The lectures can be a bit boring, but the class goes by quick for being 3 hours! I'm taking her again this next semester!

Comment:

YC is great. Her classes are demanding --not for people looking for an easy A. Assignments are designed to help you develop as an artist. YC is world renown and gives excellent demonstrations of techniques. Her critiques are always constructive. She never puts down students. YC is very helpful, but can be impatient with people not paying attention.

Comment:

She has heavy Korean accent, personality--so so she can be nice, not tolerant unless your talented; she's dismissive, so you have to be assertive; she spends alot time talking, and talking about personal stuff and because of her accent you have to her ? and she's erratated when you do. Classmates make up for it though.

lousy teacher. Often left during class time while students were working. Was not helpful to students asking for help or would not answer questions. Very hard to understand. Ended up dropping the class, wish i would have dropped it much sooner.

Comment:

Very hard to understand her. Strict on everything and it felt as if she was always rushing.And she always seemed to allow only 2 questions a day if you couldn't understand after that she gets agitated. Not a good class for beginners even though there are no preq. She made art frustrating and i thought art was supposed to be healing not the opposite

She's a really great professor with a Korean accent, which you'll get used to. The projects are hard to come by but it makes you understand and truly appreciate art more than before. The pressure's inevitable but it's all fun and worth it!

An amazing person and teacher. She is not easy because she puts a lot of time in the class and expects the same from you. Get over the accent...she speaks prefect English. Her contemporary crafts class is expensive because of the glass and enameling but well worth the money for the experience.

Amazing teacher and artist! Expects you to put effort into her class,she is! You will be amazed at your artistic results if you take the class seriously. The people who complain usually think the class will be an easy A then its not but it is alot of fun. Get over the accent - we all have one!

Professor "Y C" Kim is very talented, however due to her strong Korean accent, it is difficult to understand her.
