Mario Higa

Professor Higa is just an out-of-this-world professor, extremely kind and attentive, his class was extremely interesting and he unlike 99% of faculty here actually seems to care about our lives outside of class. THIS MAN RIGHT HERE IS THE GOAT

Professor Higa is wonderful. While meeting five times a week in the morning was sometimes challenging, he has so much energy that it made up for it. It was impossible not to have fun when Professor Higa was willing to go to extreme ends to inspire us to learn portuguese. He has a gift for teaching! You have to study to learn a lot of conjugations fast, but it's a fun time and after one-semester I was able to speak some portuguese in Brazil and get by pretty well.

I really enjoyed this course. As a person without a firm background in a romance language, it was definitely a challenge to understand everything and talk in class. However due to the professor's helpfulness and quizzes every week, I still managed to learn quite a bit. Also, the class is fun and the professor is humorous so if you are tired in his morning class, it will likely wake you up and brighten your mood.
