"As a senior, Dr. Kim has been the only professor that I have had in a big class setting that I have enjoyed. He loves the subject and enjoys teaching it even more. He is very flexible and caters to the class's needs without sacrificing the difficulty of the material. Dr. Kim has quickly become one of my favorite professors at Virginia Tech for his enthusiasm and love for his classroom and material."
