Comment:

Perhaps the reason that the rates are so polarized is because he seems to discriminate people. For certain kinds of people he basically makes fun of them for the mistakes they make. I don't care whether he is a good professor or not, he is just a horrible "person".

I've always to try this sport, and it was so amazing! Kim really knows what he's talking about, and his "good morning" at 2:30 in the afternoon makes me smile every time. I really recommend taking this class! Reckless abandon!

Comment:

I think that Kim is essentially a good guy, and knows how to get people in shape, and push people.. is very devoted...but watch out because he'll definitely be "disappointed" in you if you're not a champion swimmer, and use his emotions to influence his students. And who needs such psycological trauma/stress in a class that's supposed to be fun?

Comment:

Kim is a great guy and so dedicated to his job. I was on the diving team for two years and I have never had a better coach. His amazing knowledge of physics helps him clearly explain problems with the timing, angle, execution of your approach and dive. He has endless analogies and little sayings to help you understand his critique and he is incredibly supportive. Basically, I love Kim!

Never before have I ever felt so useless. Kim used my weaknesses against me, and that just sucked.
