Reviews of professor Keiko Ishikawa

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This class has a lot of memorization and a lot of work. I am taking it online, so I'm not sure how it is normally, but we have video lectures with a quiz after each set of lectures. The quizzes allow multiple attempts so you can take them as many times until you get them all right. The labs are just worksheets with a quiz after and 2 exams.

Labs are not worth 100 like someone else mentioned... theyre only worth 10. She also makes exams way more difficult than they should be. She told us that if we memorized the study guide, textbook, and lectures we still would not get a 100. She told us the exams are designed for people to get Cs. Exams are worth 65% total of the final grade.

She is a great teacher. She is also very funny and always has balloons with her. The class is challenging and mostly memorization. But the labs are worth 100 points each and help a lot. The book is not used often but a lot of the answers to the labs and papers in class are straight from the book.

keiko seems like a nice lady but the material is super monotonous and dense, and lectures are two hours long and really boring. the labs are easy and help boost your grade, as tests can be hard because there is so much memorization involved.
