Comment:

Hands down, one of my top 3 teachers I've ever had in my college career. I never took Chemistry in high school but she totally makes me want to switch majors, however I won't (because Bio is better, Sorry Kime lol). But I recommend her 100%. I would love to take another class she teaches too! She is very helpful, responsive and just awesome!

Dr. Kime is a great professor! Shes funny and gets along well with students. I did have some trouble understanding her lectures so its best to review the info yourself. Her class was a bit difficult, so studying is definitely a must!!! Quizzes, lab, and tests matter and they contribute a lot to your grade so its best not to push them off!!

IF YOU ARE TAKING CHEM AT RCC, TAKE IT WITH KIME!! Kime is so patient and kind. She WANTS you to pass the class so she WILL help you understand the material as long as you are showing her you are trying! She is so sarcastic and funny during lecture. I've told all of my friends to take her course and they passed with a B or higher!

Comment:

Very good chem professor. I got an A by reading each chapter at least once and making sure I know how to do every single question at the end of the chapter. Do not underestimate her weekly quizzes. She grades based off weekly quizzes, lab and exams. Chem 1B is really tough I think only like 5 or 6 out of 50 got A's so u really need to work hard

You will need to put in work but no more than should be expected for college Chem. Do the HW because she uses it or similar problems on quizzes and tests. Quizzes are given every week on the most recent material and those points can really help your overall grade. BONUS: She's hilarious.

Second time taking professor Kime and I love her! I went from hating chemistry to loving it. Shes a very genuine and caring professor that wants all her students to succeed. Just go over her lecture slides, prepare for her quizzes and exams. whatever effort you put in she will truly meet you halfway.

Comment:

She is funny I have to say but dont get distracted by that. She very sarcastic which can be annoying and sometimes funny. She can sometimes be rude. She gives hard tests and ask questions on exams she randomly says in class (pay attention and take note). But in all she knows what shes teaching but teaches fast even if students dont understand.

Comment:

If you're nervous about chemistry, or if you're planning on getting into the upper divisions of chemistry, I would highly recommend Dr. Kime. She is by far the most genuine professor, if not the most genuine person that I've met. She'll answer any questions that you have, and is very easy to talk to.

Honestly, this class was easier for me than my chem 1A class. You have to be ready to listen in her lectures. Quizes are also important in grading. Most of the stuff in her quizes are from her lecture slides or something we went over in class. She doesnt require you to do the homework but it helps a lot for the exams.

Comment:

Chemistry in general is not an easy class, regardless you will put as much effort into Chemistry depending on the grade you'd like to receive. Her office hours are a life saver if you are ever stuck on any material. Very available and helpful! I recommend her above any other Chem professors. She's very inspirational, and a powerful woman.

Comment:

Very funny and quite approachable professor. The tests are incredibly hard, but if you actually do the non mandatory homework in the syllabus, it'll be easier. Attendance is not necessary, but there are WEEKLY quizzes. She is extremely helpful during office hours, even if you need to go over something from the beginning of the semester.

She's horrible... like the other reviews have said, she doesn't test what she teaches. A lot of people failed the class because of this. She doesn't even teach from the same book she uses. I got a 64% and 65 is passing. I got a 150/200 on the final and still failed. She's that type of professor. Don't take her unless you don't mind your gpa droppin

Comment:

DEFINITELY NO. On the first midterm only 2 people got above 50% while the rest of the class got 14-38%. Not a lot of people passed any of her midterms. If majority of the class is failing, thats a clear sign that its the professors fault but no apparently its the students. She gets mad when people say she doesn't test what she teaches but its true.

Comment:

She's a decent professor. Took her class, learned a lot but didn't get a good grade because her test are different from the notes. She'll teach easy examples and test you on hard problems. She's a little mean too when you ask her a question she'll give an annoyed response rather than helping you... she doesn't curve too. 3/4 of the class failed...

She was a hilarious, witty, and engaging prof. This was my first time taking Chem and I had to work for my grade. She was always available during office hours and even held some informal study sessions. Do the HW even though it isn't mandatory. A lot of exam questions that weren't from lecture were from the HW. Amazing prof would highly recommend

Dr. Kime was absolutely an amazing professor. Although the class was somewhat tough, she was so helpful and really told you exactly what was going to be on exams and quizzes. The 8 week course was manageable and so much fun. I would highly recommend this class!! She is so caring and gives a lot of feedback.

She's a hilarious, friendly, and amazingly helpful teacher. After taking the 8 week Chem2A I miss the class everyday. She focuses on labs, worksheets, quizzes, and tests; homework is optional but good for practice. She opens up study rooms and likes study groups. Would absolutely take her again! LUV U MS KIME!!!

Dr. Kime is the bomb. She deeply cares about her students doing well. She offers so many practice sheets and is readily available to help. She is very straight forward as to what will be on exams and quizzes. Study and pay attention and it will be an easy A. This is coming from someone who failed chem once before

My god this gal is GREAT! She care alot about her students. Advice, be sure to study everyday. I try to clam everything in 3 or 4 days before every test. BIG MISTAKE DAWG! Her test is tough, everything she mentioned in class or lab is fair game. But because of her, I was able to get A in my O-chem. She set my chemistry's foundation right.
