Reviews of professor Joel Sagawa

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Sagawa is hands down the best professor at PLNU. He is extremely approachable, cares about his students, and works hard to make distance learning accessible to all. Be ready to attend classes and you'll be fine!

Sagawa is by far my fav prof. he is caring,interesting and engaging. canvas grades are posted fast. there are short reading quizzes before class & a small reflection paragraph due at the end of class. u always know what 2 expect & he prepares the class. Long chapters so RTN, lectures are to the point. multiple choice & study guides are provided.

His classes are very structured and his lectures are clear and great. He splits students into groups to discuss things and shows videos throughout his lectures so class doesn't get dull. Have taken two of his classes and planning on taking more!

Dr. Sagawa is one of the best profs Ive ever had. Hes a great lecturer, and is genuinely passionate about what he does. Very knowledgeable about the subject matter and willing to answer your questions. Not a super easy class, but well worth the effort you put in. Hes a genuine person who cares about his students and what he does.

Honestly one of the best and most impactful professors I've ever had. Really cares about engaging with his students and making sure no one is lost. I also really enjoyed how structured his classes are, no surprise quizzes, really helped my anxiety haha.

Probably my favorite professor at Loma so far! If you want an easy A do not take this course. He is an amazing professor and great at what he does, his grading style is very black and white. You definitely need to put in time outside of class if you want to pass this course.
