Comment:

Prof. Yuko Jackson is one of the kindest and most motherly of educators, not to mention her obvious wealth of experience in teaching Japanese. She is clear in her teaching, using examples to elucidate grammatical points and utilises unconventional tools such as fun websites and music to liven up the class. Most of all,she is caring and approachable

Comment:

Imoto-sensei is one of few teachers I've met who absolutely refuses to give up on students. even after studying in japan, I still have a lot of work to do, and she goes above and beyond to push me to be better. If you're serious about Japanese, you won't regret taking one of her classes. She makes it a lot of fun and always listens to suggestions!

Imoto Sensei is a wonderful advanced Japanese professor. If you want deep analysis -- and a helpful understanding, then she is the sensei for you. If you are having trouble understanding something, she will teach you how to understand it. I have never before had a professor as available to help me with such patience until i could finally speak Jap.

Comment:

Professor Imoto is very dedicated and enthusiastic about teaching Japanese. Oftentimes her humor lights up the atmosphere in the classroom. She also takes into heart the progress of each student and is always available for help. Imoto sensei is a wonderful teacher, I enjoyed taking her classes and will definitely recommend them to other students.

Comment:

STAY AWAY FROM HER!! Easily one of the worst teachers at Brown, also one of the worst people. If you want to take japanese, take a class with wilkner or tajima or yamashita instead

Comment:

She is maybe an average teacher, a little bit on the boring side. BUT I don't think she's a very good person. Intimidation does not facilitate learning. I would stay away from any class she's teaching as she is obsessed with power and manipulating people.

Comment:

Ok. so she's a pretty good teacher when it comes to *just* Japanese. but as said above, she hides this evil interior and will often single students out or adjust the way things are done in the japanese depratment just to display and exert her "power

Comment:

she is pretty clear and organized. she tries very hard to be nice to her students in class. i'm not sure if she really has a nice heart though. i always thought she was a bit scary and sarcastic. but i do admit, you do learn in her classes.
