I do not recommend this professor unless she is your only option. She is also very tough grader and critiques things as if we were professionals.

Comment:
This is the second class that I have taken with her and she by far is the best photography professor at SDSU. You are going to be challenged and her critiques are beneficial. She will give reasoning on her grading and will show you how to be better the next time around.

She is an amazing teacher. Unlike some teachers in the Art world she will give you reasoning for her critiques. She has been doing this a long time and if you show initiative and listen to her criticism you will get an A. But don't procrastinate the assignments and show up everyday cause you might miss something. Book required. Easy short exams.

Comment:
I've had Kim for 3 classes now. She is so knowledgeable and she isn't rude! She's just not afraid to give criticism, if you can't handle it, her classes are not for you. She is very clear in what she wants and an overall great teacher.

Comment:
She says she's there to help but when you ask, and don't understand or need more explanation she gets an attitude and can be pretty rude as others have also commented on.She doesn't care about the well being of her students in the least. She won't hesitate to fail you. I'd find a different professor.

Comment:
Hostile, unapproachable, impersonal, rude, won't hesitate to throw a student under the bus if she doesn't like their work. Seems pained by the the very act of teaching. Low tolerance for non-talented or inexperienced individuals. Completely non-supportive. Gives assignments & shows videos, doesn't actually teach anything. Felt totally ripped off.

Comment:
This class is all about one large photo project. Kim can be a bit harsh but if you can take it constructively then you will benefit from her criticisms. Overall a pretty easy class, we only had one short paper (which is odd for a upper division studio art). She drop the big paper, thank god. I personally don't think papers belong in studio classes.

She is a ok teacher. Not the easiest and also not the hardest either. She does make comments about people works only to help you improve your work for your portfolio.In the long run it help you to be prepare for the real world.

Comment:
She is very scary to be criticized by if you do something wrong and you're not aware that you did. She's very rude to some students and has even made some cry. She is a great instructor but a scary person. I don't know if I would recommend her or warn a person to stay away from her.

Comment:
She is a specialist when it comes to web design although she lacks extensive knowledge when it comes to top-notch advanced Flash techniques so you better explore on your own if you want to get good at it. She's a polite and nice but gets upset if you don't do enough work or don't show up in class.She's willing2help u so if you need one you should

Comment:
I was really excited to take the class at first, but once she started being rude to me I stopped having any respect for her. Although she is talented in the field I don't think it excuses her rudeness when it comes to the students, especially during critiques. She also tends to be very controlling and bossy. I thought she was uptight and scary!

Like everyone else says she is a fairly hard grader. However you will learn something new from her class, although an "A" grade is not out of reach.

Loved her. If you are new to photoshop and illustrator the class is probably hard because she grades pretty hard on assignments. Make sure you bring the project in before its due and ask her what to do to make it better. If you're experienced like I was, you dont even have to go to class.

Comment:
Kim is a brilliant artist and an excellent instructor. She runs a tight ship, but if you show up, do the work and put in some effort you will be graded fairly, learn more than you imagined when you started, and have wonderful impressive pieces to add to your portfolio. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Kim is one of the best teachers I've ever had. Just do your work, turn everything in on time, and put some effort into it, you'll be fine. She's VERY knowledgable, take advantage of what she has to offer!
