Reviews of professor Yoko Horikawa

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This class was very hard for me. It was very fast paced and I'm a slow learner and overall this class was just not it for me. However, Horikawa Sensei is one of the best professors I've ever had. I would take this class again because she was that great. Very kind and caring towards her students and genuinely wants her students to succeed. 10/10!

Horikawa sensei is such a genuinely nice person. Shes always helpful and gives good feedback. There is a lot of homework, but as long as you pay attention in class and participate, you wont have any issues completing it. Basically, as long as you work on your Japanese and actually show that you care, you wont have a single problem in this class.

I have never learned a language faster than with Horikawa Sensei. The way she presents material and structures learning is extremely beneficial to language acquisition. There is a lot of vocab to learn and there's homework daily, but it's to your benefit if you want to learn. I recommend learning hiragana before taking the class.

Horikawa-sensei is one of the sweetest teachers I've ever had. Her class was extremely easy as long as you participated and payed attention and she always made things interesting. You could always hear the laughter coming from her classroom whenever she had her students do an activity.

Horikawa Sensei is the nicest professor I have ever had, while the class is homework heavy as long as you care about this class youll do pretty good! She is so understanding for when you are sick or just not doing too great. Just wait til you hear the greeting song! 1000% would take again, more specifically JPN102 with her next year!

Yoko is one of the sweetest professors. She makes all her classes fun and enjoyable. However, there is a TON of homework (every night except fri and sat) that takes a while to do. Overall, she is a great professor.

I had Horikawa sensei the spring semester of Covid-19. She was an amazing teacher before and after we went online. She's funny, caring, and understanding. One of the best professor's I have ever had. 10/10.

JPN 102 is a great class if you are willing to put in the work and engage in group work during class. Attendance is mandatory, and there is homework just about every night, but the work is really easy, and you can redo the nightly assignments until you get a perfect score if you submit it before the due date. Hard workers will get an A!
