This course was discussion-heavy - we had to submit Teams discussion posts twice a week on the readings and the anime. The workload was not heavy, and we had fun discussing different views and theories that emerged from/could explain the anime.
Overall good course. Felt like I walked out with a lot of knowledge and felt engaged. Workload not to heavy but definitely need to pay attention in class. I did this class to fill a requirement but ended up enjoying.
Like all the other Japanese courses, this one is very heavy with homework and focuses on the Tobira textbook. Everyday we had new homework, and we usually had quizzes and tests for every new chapter. However, the kanji quizzes are held after the readings, not before, meaning you will struggle if you only study the kanji for each chapter only when the quiz days are coming up. Work for the class was kind of hit or miss, with some being confusing with the instructions, not having been posted to Canvas, or just not worth doing. Your 2 lowest grades can be dropped, so make sure to use them if they're not worth it
