Comment:
Furukawa-sensei is very engaging and entertaining. Although there may be a few few awkward pauses when he asks a question, he keeps the class upbeat with his funny personality. He grades fairly strict, but genuinely wishes for his students to do well. Be sure to read the textbook, study, and you'll be fine.

Furukawa sensei is a lot of fun. He's probably one of the funniest teachers out there. There's a lot of work to be done, but you always know what to expect, which is a plus.

Comment:
Furukawa-sensei is one of my absolute favorite teachers - he is devoted, a wonderful comedian, and a very kind man. He REALLY knows how to make Japanese fun - in a way the other teachers in the East Asian dept. can't. He can be intimidating, but he always wants you to succeed and excel.

his class is very interesting and you will learn a lot, even though it was very tough. Keep up with ALL the homework and vocab. He genuinely cares about each student and wants to see them succeed.

Funny and entertaining, however too much emphases on homework, not enough emphases on instructing. Too reliant on having the class figure out the material before class.

He's really fun and never lets class get boring. A bit of a tough grader and can be a little scary during presentations.

He's not a good teacher... yes, he's funny- but did you really learn anything from HIM...the book is the only guidance in the class.

he's AWESOME. he makes the class so fun even if you're not that interested in the language. the class does pick up fast though so just study the book and do your homework and you'll be fine. the quizzes are cake.i'm not continuing next quarter b/c i wanna do other stuff but he was way awesome.

Great teacher. I planned on dropping Japanese, but continued with it because he made it fun and interesting (yes, FUN). Can't think of a valid negative quality to him.

The people who gives this guy bad ratings are those loosers who can't pass the class. If you pick up the Japanese book and study you will do fine. All the teachers in the Japanese Dept. are terrific.
