Reviews of professor Kendra Sheehan

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Sheehan is awesome! Her lectures are so interesting and genuinely enjoyable. She has a great personality. You have to give two presentations, read one book of your choice from a list, and write one big paper; everything else is (fairly easy) pop quizzes and in-class activities. I'm about to take a second class from her; I'd def recommend her.

Dr. Sheehan is a good professor. She is clear and concise and the workload isn't awful. You will be reading a bit, but it isn't impossible. I actually enjoyed the content.

Straightforward teacher with weekly assignments. Sometimes material isn't clear, but she is willing to help explain. Weekly assignments are easily done and 3 papers required, short papers.

Dr. Sheehan is an amazing professor. This was easily in the top 3 most rewarding classes I've EVER taken, and I'm not even a modern languages major. Be ready to work, but also get ready to learn. Only take this class if you have an interest in Japanese culture, though. She has all of the qualities of a perfect professor, and then some.

The readings are very dense and can be up to 200+ pages of content weekly. The professor is nice, but the amount of work given per week is ridiculous. I feel as though I have not learned anything because I was drowning in incomprehensible readings and long writing assignments. If you plan to take this class as a fun/easy elective, reconsider.
