Hayasaka Sensei was absolutely wonderful teaching this class. She always provided examples on how to use each grammar point and was always very enthusiastic. There are daily quizzes and a test every week, but if you consistently study, it shouldn't be all too difficult.

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.
