Comment:

Yumi 'sensei' is a good lecturer and she always praise students for their good work when they do well in the quizzes and tests. There are a lot of homeworks to do but I would recommend students to do it because most of the test questions actually came from the homework questions. Just work hard and smart, then it will be an easy 'A'.

Excellent teacher, her lessons are really engaging. It's a fairly active teaching method, it's easy to go through them if you pretty much just forget about being wrong.

Yumi-sensei is amazing! BUT be warned if you miss class for whatever reason it is extremely difficult to catch up; especially further into the semester it is. There is group work in this class. Overall she grades fairly and there is a lot of extra credit given, so your grade all depends on how much effort you put into learning the language.

Comment:

Yumi-sensei is an awesome professor! I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wanted to learn Japanese. The only reason I gave her a 3 in "easiness" is because learning a new language is never easy. But she will help you every step of the way! Always there and always willing to make time for the student!

Yumi-Sensei is amazing. Definitely my favorite professor. She's really nice, fun, interesting and she cares a lot about your progress. Japanese can be a difficult language, but Sensei makes it very doable. It's something you really have to be interested in if you expect to do well, but as far as grades go, just do the work and study. Fairly easy A

Yumi-sensei is totally awesome! 2nd language acquisition isn't really a cakewalk, but I feel like I'm actually learning something. Best advice is to make sure you have time for this class, because there is an accompanying onslaught of homework, but you wouldn't be considering this class if you didn't want to learn Japanese to begin with.

Comment:

She is a very nice person. She does go a bit fast on material but that is because Japanese is a hard language to learn, and fitting it in one semester is difficult. However, she makes the language easy to understand and speak. Attendance is necessary since attendance is part of the grade. Books are a must too! Overall, the class is simple and fun.

I took Japanese 112 and 223 from Foster-Sensei. I really enjoyed the experience and recommend her to anyone! The language itself is difficult to learn but she tries her best to make it practical. Show up to class, make an effort, do your homework, and do the study guides are you are guaranteed an A.

Foster-sensei is awesome! She covers material fast but thoroughly, and always reviews before tests. Go to every class and keep up on your home work (which there isn't a ton of) and you can ace the class

Foster-sensei's really good about covering the material quickly and efficiently, so it's really no problem that she goes so quick. She's really helpful and super nice. The homework she has you do is ACTUALLY relevant to what will be on the test!

Holy smokes, she stacked homework by the TON and taught at a rather rapid pace. That was no fun at all.
