I wish that I could have taken this class from someone else. She takes a long time to grade and her assignments are confusing.

Comment:
I would really avoid taking her. She grades everything at the absolute last second. She is like a fake nice in person, but then super unresponsive and a harsh grader on canvas. Overall, I just sort of felt like she was a narcissistic, and really did not care for her students, or their success at all.

Kim is an amazing person, but as a professor? Not so great. Didn't start grading until April. She gave GREAT feedback, but at that point, we couldn't go back and change what we did for the other assignments. I would take this class from somebody else if you have the option.

She is a VERY tough grader, I honestly think way too tough for the level of assignments. Class is also very lecture heavy... I was very often confused on expectations and rubrics. Things could have been explained WAY better. I wouldn't take a class from Kim again...

This class in it of itself is a pretty difficult class, but Kim is awesome for the most part! She is fun, caring, and she wants her students to truly succeed and feel happy. She does take a long long time to grade things and her expectations for assignments can be a little confusing and all over the place. Besides this, she's a great teacher!

I see others saying she is a hard grader but she really just wants to see effort, not perfection. Some assignments werent super clear but just email her and shell clarify. Her lectures are super fun and I looked forward to going to her class. Kind, approachable Not the easiest teacher but if you are willing to put in SOME effort, you'll easily pass

Kim is awesome. I didn't think I would like the class just because of personal interest, but she made everything really easy to understand, and enjoyable too. There are a few projects here and there, that makes you work, but it's all straightforward, and you feel like you've learned a lot after. Very easy to reach, and willing to help. Take Kim!!

She is very nice, but a tough grader. She doesn't accept late work. This semester was completely online and it may have been hard for her but, the way her course was set up was confusing and led to me getting poorer grades. She'll post a discussion is due Sunday and then you go to the post and it says it was due Wednesday! Plus this was inconsisten

Shes is a very tough grader, and takes forever to grade things! She will dock your assignments for small things. She has been the toughest grader I have had. She has quizes directly from the book and she makes her own exams.

Kim is the best! She is super kind, understanding, but expects a lot from her students. She made learning fun and brought in guest lectures to help us learn from different people. Don't take campaigns from anyone else!!!

Kim is amazing! I took her class not knowing what PR was, and she helped me understand what it is and how to be successful in the profession. She doesn't waste time in class. Kim KNOWS her stuff! Be ready for some "hard" assignments. Deadlines come up before you know it in her class. Make sure you ask her what she's looking for. (10/10)

Kim is freaking amazing. Don't take Case Studies (or anything) without her!! This class was honestly the hardest one I've had in the program, but I learned so much. If you just keep up on your work and pace yourself, you'll do fine. She's really great about giving you a good grade if you are doing the hard work and really trying to learn.

Read the textbook and you'll do well on the quizzes. The Exams contain questions from past quizzes. As for the projects, look at the examples provided on Canvas and then go over the instructions a few times. Sometimes the examples don't have everything requested so it's easy to miss things when you're working on your own. Always leaves feedback!

Kim is great. She is really understanding and willing to work with you if you have any conflicts regarding class or projects. I fell like I've learned a lot and grown a lot this semester. I really respect Kim. There is a lot of reading quizzes, but they are not difficult to pass.

Kim is an amazing person, she's funny, nice, understanding, and involved. She makes the classroom environment fun, engaged, and applicable. That being said, this class was very frustrating at times. She will almost never gives perfect scores, contradicts herself on assignment expectations, and the quizzes/tests are insanely detailed.

Kim is fabulous! Organized, clear grader, and cuts you A TON of slack. PAY ATTENTION TO THE QUIZZES! They are crucial to the tests and final--that's the information you need to have. There's a quiz each class period and most of the assignments felt like busy-work but it wasn't too hard to keep up. I would definitely take another class from Kim!

Kim was great. It is a hard class to teach since it is based on working with an outside client but she still made it work. She grades assignments in a timely manner and is understanding.

Beware! There is a 10 q. quiz every class period (all PR classes - not just Kim's) 17 quizzes. 3 exams plus the final. The final is cumulative (all PR classes) Kim was very considerate towards her students. Sometimes, we the students, were just piled with assignments, and she would push the assignments to the next day
