Comment:

I took professor Yoshida for Japanese 1 and 2 and I fell in love with her class. She is really kind and cares for her students and she has no problem helping out her students and explaining things more than once. She even offers extra credit if your struggling in her class. Totally recommend taking her Japanese courses.

Shes kind to her students and even gets snacks for the class on certain occasions but shes boring. If you miss class more than once (medical reasons apply here too), shell recommend you drop the course. Shell ask you questions about your major, etc. I thought that was effing rude. Thats her first recom- instead of being supportive and caring.

Comment:

She is a great teacher. But her classes are pretty easy. If you want to know about Japanese culture, trivia, go over stuff kinda superficially with lots of hand holding and no pressure, easy A, take this class. If you actually want to learn to speak Japanese, take Takemori. He is tough, but his students speak Japanese.

Professor Yoshida is one of the most caring and sweet professors on campus. She is very kind to all of her students and her tests are quite easy. Just make sure to show up, pay attention, and participate. I would recommend her to anybody who is new to the Japanese language.

Yoshida is one of the nicest teachers! I took her for Japanese 1 and 2. She's caring and will help you if you need it. She gives out homework straight from the workbook. She even goes over the kanji in class. I'm definitely taking her again for Japanese 4.

I enjoyed my Japanese class with Yoshida sensei. I wanted to take her for Jap 2 but my schedule conflicts with hers. The test are easy enough if you study and she gives the background of some of the words and Kanji. If you take her you will not regret it and you will have a great time.

Yoshida is the best professor i have had at el camino. She is very understanding and helpful. She will try to answer your questions best as possible until you understand. She also allowed me to take the speaking exams in her office because of my public speaking anxiety. She is honestly the best ! taking her for Japanese 2 :)

Yoshida sensei is such a sweet teacher and her Japanese 1 class is an easy A. All you really need to do is study and practice what you learned in class. The worksheets she givesgrades are perfect study guides for her tests. Had I moved on and taken more Japanese language classes, I would've taken her again. Again, amazingly sweetgreat teacher.

Yoshida sensei is an amazing teacher. she is very nice and an easy grader. in order to pass her class all you have to do is study and practice. if you spend an hour or two out of your day studying you will definitely get an A. I highly recommend her as a teacher and I cant wait to take her again for Japanese 4.

Comment:

Its an easy A for a GE requirement, but if you are wanting something more and deeper than what is just strictly from the book then you are best to stay clear. You won’t be getting a “feel” for what Japan is like by taking this class. There is little to no character or culture going on at all in the class. EXTREMELY easy, but also extremely lacking.

Very easy to understand with perfect English. She is funny and a fairly easy grader. Just show up and put in a little effort and you will get an A. Midterm and final handouts are practically the exact test. No surprises.

She is one of the nicest professors I've had. But the class is just too easy. I knew a little Japanese prior to taking the class but even as a newcomer, you wouldn't have trouble. Probably won't be ready for Japanese 2 without a little more experience.

Comment:

I have learnt Japanese for 2years before taking this class, but I can still learn something from her. Her class is too easy. Not only for me, for all newcomers too. My friends who are new to Japanese are all getting 'A's. The class it too easy, if you want to prepare for Jap2, avoid her, or you will get stuck in JAP2.

Comment:

Amazingly nice and lenient. She goes over everything and answers any questions. The problem is that she is TOO EASY. I noticed that about half of my class took advantage of this and did not even show up. The tests are very basic and are not challenging at all. I love her but she needs to be more strict.
