Comment:

Dr. Yoshiko is the best professor I have ever had at Hartnell. She makes her lectures 100% understandable and makes everything so easy. This class will not be an easy A but you WILL learn. She gives study guides out on what exactly will be on the tests which make studying easier. This class makes me want to change my major!

Comment:

The best psy teacher I ever had. I took Dr. Yoshiko for psy 2,15 &22 which made me want to get more involved with the psy field. She has a big heart because she can also become a supporter in your personal life. She makes you understand psychology perfectly. Test may be complicated because test are applying the information not to memorize terms.

Great experience with this professor. Everything she lectures will be on the tests and final exam. She gives few homework assignments but expects you to do readings before class.

Not enough tags to say how amazing she is!!! She is very funny and makes learning exciting! Taking Human Sexuality with her was the best choice i've made. There is a book report which is worth about a whole letter grade, but you have a lot of time to work on it. Tests are a little hard but if you put a decent amount of time to study you'll be fine.

She is so organized and makes her lectures interesting. She's very clear on her study guide what is expected on the test and her homework is fairly easy. So as long as you study and take notes you'll do good in her class. Would definitely recommend.

She is the best professor that I have ever have. You do have to take alot of notes and read but if you do that its no problem. She gives study guides before every exam which are a life saver. No presentations or forced speaking but there is one big book report but if you read its a breeze. She makes class fun to come to.

Easily one of the best professors I've had. She always has good energy even for our 8am section. She provides study guides for every exam & lets you know exactly what will be on them. Very considerate and thorough on how she teaches, and happily answers every question you might have. She earns your respect as a professor and as a person.

The best teacher at hartnell. She is so caring and her door is always open for students. Her course is difficult, but the the most rewarding class Ive taken. Her lectures are very full and very note heavy. But she gives great reviews for tests. Class work, attendance, and participation is the key to passing. She also gives lots of extra credit opt

Dr. Yoshiko is an amazing teacher. I have taken her for two classes and have received As in both. She gives you a study guide of the things that might be on the test which is extremely helpful. If is not on the study guide than you don't have to study it! Her lectures are fun and make it easy to participate. She also has extra credit available

This was the most interesting and challenging class I've ever taken . It was amazing. The thing about her class that recommend that you do is study, do assignments early, and do the extra credit she offers. She is a very organized and passionate teacher. I will for sure take another class

By far the best prof I've ever had! Teaching style leads to actual knowledge gained vs memorize & regurgitate. Lectures are fun and informative, gives study guides that show EXACTLY what will be on exams. Must read chapters to stay on top of class as HW. Participation is expected. Available outside of class for help with anything, not just class.
