Reviews of professor Mariko Kline

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I took her Japn 1010 and am now in her 1020, which was currently a hybrid class but nonetheless a great professor. The books are mandatory only because you use them in both 1010 and 1020. Love this professor.

Professor Kline was such a good language instructor. She is adorable in her teaching because she has a Japanese accent and is always smiling and happy. The subject itself is kinda hard only cuz its a totally different language but I like Kline over the other professors.

Very engaging! She always brings so much energy to class, and really helps us understand the grammar points. She encourages us, calling us "good students" and taking time to thoroughly answer any questions we have, even if it's slightly off topic. You do have to do lots of work in the course, but the work really helps you learn Japanese effectively

Kline sensei is super nice and always tries to make sure the class is fun. She helps you come up with different ways to learn and memorize hiragana and kanji. Make sure to learn the vocabulary and sentence structure, because she tends to call on students at random in class. Definitely had a great experience in her class and would take her again.

I would absolutely recommend her class! She gives you feedback on gradable assignments and the assignments are structured in a way to set you up for success. I loved this class. I had learned quite a bit and will be taking her next Japanese course.

Mrs. Kline is very attentive to her students. If you're struggling to keep up in class, she will notice and help accordingly. Sometimes she's passive aggressive about it, but seems to be more from concern than from frustration. It is obvious she really wants her students to succeed in class. Definitely the type of teacher you want to make proud.

Very sweet and nice. Better than every other Japanese teacher I've taken. Never brought up anime. (Thank god because my other prof did everyday and I couldn't stand it. I don't like anime.) Please have all textbooks first day of class and be on time. I love her! Grades hard though. Be prepared.

Professor Kline is an amazing teacher who cares deeply about her students' education. Be warned: there is a LOT of homework and class participation is graded. However, she gives amazing feedback both in and out of class. I would definitely recommend her for anyone taking Japanese at UNT.

Kline sensei is an amazing professor! Like others have mentioned, she cares about the success of each student! She's the type of professor who you can tell loves what she does and it'll make you want to learn and attend class. Yes, there's daily homework, but it's a language class so I'd argue that its for our own good.
