Reviews of professor Jacob Neider

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Really, really decent guy and a fun professor. Actually cares about his students and helping us understand the material. He is responsive with emails and approachable. I suggest printing out the lessons beforehand as he doesn't offer any on-paper handouts but other than that the class feels very accessible. You don't need to study too hard either.

Mr. Neider's class helped me learn Japanese very well, his methods and way of teaching are great and the interaction between classmates pushes that even further. His classes were some of the most memorable ones I have taken.

Neider is hilarious and awesome for japanese 1! There is very little homework, but almost everyday there is a quiz for hiragana and katakana. This class is great if you want to look more into conversational japanese than business japanese. You get to pick a lot of your own vocab words. There is a lot of speaking necessary for this class.

I am not exaggerating when I say that he was the best professor I have ever had. Strict sometimes, but it's because he honestly cares about your success in the class. He wants everyone in the class to be able to speak Japanese well, and is incredibly helpful and will do anything to help you learn or better your language skills. Loved his class.
