Reviews of professor Rheta Kuwahara

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Shes available for students inside and outside of the class. She shows her students the many different resources around the campus that is available for us and believes in our growth and journey in college. I appreciated her as a professor and a mentor!

Overall, Professor Kuwahara is a genuinely caring person who wants the best for her students. However, she is incredibly unorganized and can often times take 4-6 weeks to grade and return your assignments. Towards the end of the semester I was a bit nervous due to being in the dark about my grade because she always left things blank.

This class was okay, same structure as HDFS 230/FARM 230. 1 children's book review, 1 journal article review, 1 powerpoint final (20slides), 1 newsletter assignment. I liked the information that I was learning, but it was ok.

I enjoyed taking her in person class as the majority of her classes are online only. There is a ton of readings and work to do. If you fall behind, it's tough to catch up. As the classes I've taken from her usually are. She's super sweet though!

most unorganized professor I have had at Manoa. Says one thing than sends out messages changing what was initially said in class. Doesnt respond to emails in timely manner,confusing grading syllabus & grading criteria. Everything is just scattered!Almost as if she forgot how to teach in person. Aside from her teaching she is a nice professor though

Dr. Kuwahara's class is super interesting, especially since a lot of the topics are on our own upbringing. She gives a lot of life experiences that can take up time but they are engaging and funny. Tests are based on lectures so don't skip class. She is very caring and understanding so ask her if you need any help. Assignments are very easy.

Taking this class was bit of a struggle. Especially when I took it in the beginning of covid a lot of things were happening through everyone. Unfortunately, I dropped the class for it being too stressful and the tests were graded HEAVILY. I studied hard and still managed to get either a D/C.

shes super nice and the class is overall easy. the exams are easy because they use the questions they put on the study guides word for word. she only teaches the first half of the semester

1 children's book review, 1 journal article review, 1 powerpoint final (20slides), 1 newsletter assignment. I liked the information that I was learning, but it was ok. This class was okay, same structure as HDFS 230/FARM 230. 331  early childhood, 332 middle childhood/adolescence. If you're a HDFS major, I'd recommend her. Some extra credit.
