Reviews of professor Kaori Tanaka

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Tanaka sensei is an extremely kind prof who clearly cares very much for her students. I did find she was a bit disorganized online and I would have thought she was a lot better if classes were in person. The course content is pretty fair, however, be prepared for a lot of homework (that is only worth 3% of the actual mark).

Best prof ever. She is always kind and caring. If you participate and study hard, you will definitely get a good grade.

She is one phenomenal professor. I had her for JAPN101 over the summer and now JAPN201 and she doesn't disappoint. She goes out of her way to make sure you understand the material. However, quizzes and exams are pretty tough and she marks assignments pretty strict so get ready for that. Other than that, you're going to have a blast in her class

Dr. Tanaka is so supportive and her course is very clear to follow. She prepares everything you need for the course. And she is always there when you need her. Please treat her very nicely. She is my favorite professor.

Best prof ever had at UBC. Tanaka sensei truly cares and supports her students. Classes are interesting and well structured. Assignments and exams are fair, you can def get good grades as long as you study hard.

Biased self studied JP prior a bit. Learning JP from scratch is a difficult task but she made it super enjoyable. The quick pace of the course tends to catch ppl off guard but I think she handles it well, though daily hw was difficult to keep up with. Everything about the class was super clear, organized and reasonable. Excellent prof overall.

I love her. She is the most caring and kind teacher and very friendly. I was really afraid of this course and I don't think I would have been able to do it without her. She had tons of ways to help you improve and I only went to her office hours. The class is really hard, but with her I still enjoyed it. Best teacher I've ever had.

Miss Tanaka is caring to her students. And her teaching makes the course easier and more interesting. It is a pleasure to have JAPN 100 under her teaching and I hope that I can take my future Japanese courses with her in the future!

Best Japanese professor. Never expected in my life that I would study Japanese so fun and so interestingly. If you are going to take a Japanese class, take her class no matter what.
