Reviews of professor Takamasa Nagai

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
If you are a person who want to learn but don't really care about the grade, he would be fine. However, if you want an A, please do no select this course. First, his participaction grade doesn't make sense. Second, if you want to get A, your test, quiz must be higher than 97%. Finally, he will suppress your grade once your total grade is high.

Show little respect to students, always ask more about spelling or pronunciation. Denies your participation, because no matter how many questions you answer correctly, it is always 85%.

worst experience! NOT WHAT I EXPECTED. he's good but not that much of a help. the class style did not suit me. too many assignments and a tough grader. watch out for some weird questions.

He was awesome for the first few weeks, funny and engaging, but then he would go on literal 30

The best thing to do before taking Takamasa-sensee's class is to educate yourself on Japanese, because trying to keep up and understand his lectures are a real chore. Don't attempt to take this class if you plan to understand Japanese as opposed to speaking it, because you'll be in a position of helplessness if that was your plan.

Nagai sensei is a very good teacher. Everyday you will have a short five minute quiz on sections of the chapter or of the homework. Make sure you listen to the textbook CD & read the textbook because he will ask you questions from them which count for participation. He likes to joke around with his students and uses anime references in his lectures
