First-Year Japanese
First-Year Japanese This course is an intensive continuation of JAPN 0101. This course is required for those students wishing to take JAPN 0103 in the Spring.
J-term feels different because there is only one class. It is fast-paced and there is a lot of materials, but it is totally manageable as you have all the time to study for it. Daily homework and regular quizzes, the Japanese department is very organized and everything is very clear.
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.
The teachers try their best for this J-term class. The only thing is that you will be studying for a quiz daily. At least 20 new vocabulary words or a new set of kanji to study daily. Grammar is also something you have to keep in mind and practice. The class is very demanding and forces you to grasp new material very quickly. Otherwise, you'll fall behind on homework and quizzes. Manage your schedule well however and you'll do fine, but lectures are long and the days are grueling for the Japanese learner!
