Comment:

Great teacher. I've had her since 101. Only complaint is that she doesn't vary her teaching style and it can be a little boring. Other than that, very easy and actually cares about students grades. She gives alot of flexability with work that makes it even better.

You can't find a nicer teacher. She tries her best to teach and she does it well. It is a good GenEd. Class.

Not as Easy as everybody says she is...You have to memorize every Japanese Character (Hiragana and Katakana) and write in it the whole second half of the semester. Doesn't speak clearly. Quizzes are very easy, but tests are so hard. Very Nice though.

Great class. She goes over everything that you need to learn and gives you study guides for quizzes and tests which have basically the same exact questions so theres really no way to fail. You will have to study a bit, but your learning a new langauge of course. She's provides alot of cultural info about Japan which is cool. Very intresting stuff.

Took her class years ago(1999-2001)back when her name was Morishita. Great sensei! Very helpful,patient,and truly enjoys teaching Japanese. Her voice is soft spoken but it isn't a problem. Yes she quizzes often but with Japanese the quizzes are needed.

Comment:

You have to be pathetically petty to find problems with Junko. She is good at teaching Japanese and you learn alot by just listening. Test book is useable. She is very good about letting you make tests up. I will be taking her 201 and 202.

Comment:

Loved her class, took it as a refresher, didn't need to study but a few times. She's Japanese but knows english. Speaks kind of soft but not to hard to hear. She got married so look for her as "junk handa" not "junko morishita." I'm taking her for 102.

Comment:

Not as easy as everyone says it is. You take about 22 quizzes throughout the semester, which are only 5 pts each, but you have to study ALOT to get the full points. Only take this class if you're truly interested in learning the language. Don't take it just for a gen-ed

Comment:

Mori****a Sensei is the best ever. I haven't met a professor at towson more willing to help her students. She is very approchable for help, and although she could speak up a bit more, she is more than willing to repeat herself and is very patient.
