I learned a lot from taking the lecture class. We focused on the Tobira textbook more and delved into more complex grammar concepts and more assignments to get us to practice writing in Japanese. There's also a final presentation you need to do without reading completely off your script.

Hayasaka Sensei is definitely my favorite Japanese professor so far. Her lectures were always very effective and clear (she could pretty much cover all the content without going overtime). I have not had any unpleasant experiences with her. She is generally very caring and friendly. In terms of difficulty, it really depends on what language you speak. Japanese is not the easiest language for native English speakers in my opinion.

The pace is fast, but the Hayasaka sensei's class is what you'd expect of Midd. You'll enjoy learning Japanese with her; she's so sweet. You can tell she loves teaching the students, has board games on select review days before lesson tests, brings home made food, and is overall an amazing person. If you passed 100 Japanese, you can do 200.
