The class was very fun. Takahashi sensei, Saigo sensei, and White sensei are all enthusiastic and very understanding professors. I definitely recommend the class. The course is fast pace but the amount of tests, quizzes, and homeworks makes it easier to memorize words and grammar points.
White Sensei is very caring for her students and made learning Japanese a fun and enjoyable experience. Quizzes are generally straightforward. This course is fast-paced and I find myself having to put in a good amount of time outside to classroom to review the materials. Other than that this is a great course to take if you plan on getting started with learning Japanese!
I took this First-Year Japanese with White sensei, Takahashi sensei, and Saigo sensei. As an intro to language, it is very fast-paced and has lots of homework and memorizing. Although it is a quite high-demanding course for beginners, the lectures are valuable and we do learn a lot. Quizzes and exams are fairly graded.
