Written Comments From Students
Fall 2022 (Hybrid)
Very helpful and encouraged everybody to learn further than the class taught
Professor Kim's tutorial method of teaching is really effective in my opinion. I think the best way to learn is hands on and that's exactly how he demonstrates it.
If I had the option, I would take ALL my classes with Dr. Yeongin Kim!
Definitely the in–class PowerPoints and examples as well as the homework. The professor does an outstanding job explaining the concepts and is very reachable when having questions.
I really appreciated Prof. Kim recording lectures and posting them in a timely manner. It helps during final week when there is a lot going on.
The professor's code and slides provided concise instructions and examples. It made it very easy to learn the material.
Professor Yeongin Kim explained all concepts well; he is very good at his work. The conduct of the class was perfect, and his class recordings helped us to refer later if we had any doubts.
The professor was always ready to help me, whether in class or outside the class. The professor also gave feedback within 24 hours, which helped me plan accordingly.
Professor Kim was really helpful, he taught us the use cases of different types of machine learning, he motivated us by discussing about his research project and also helped us in answering questions, whenever necessary.
Dr Kim was very passionate about the subject and gave good insights.
Fall 2020 (Online)
Professor Kim was very insightful when it came to programming and was always able to offer assistance to students who needed help from him. I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking for a good programming teacher.
I loved talking to him, and he made the course seem fun and engaging.
Professor Kim has been the best professor I have had during this pandemic. Taking a challenging course such as Programming and facilitating learning for myself and other students is difficult.
One of the best classes and one of the best professors at VCU. Always willing to help and teach students and constantly teaching new concepts in understandable ways and methods.
His structured his class very well. Easy to follow along with him through the powerpoints and he also had many in class exercises that were helpful. Answered questions and gave good feedback.
Spring 2019 (In-Person)
Professor Kim challenged each of us in terms of the course contents, presentation, and assignment. His approach to breaking down each subject matter really helped me grasp even the most challenging topics.
Professor Kim was always willing to help and accommodate with my work schedule to personally help with my assignments and understanding of the material.
Yeongin was very supportive of my exploration of more advanced concepts and other languages! He even offered to accept my homework in Python instead of C# when I told him that I was interested in learning that language too!
He explained things well and showed examples of things so it was easier to learn.
Professor Kim is an an awesome guy who taught/presented very well. He always made sure we knew he was available to help anyone who was struggling with the material. He is very good about making sure that everyone is following along and is not lost.
