Reviews of professor Linda Chessick

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I love Chessick-sensei! She structures her class in a way that I think is really good for building language skills. There is little "lecture" and 99% of the class is actually practicing using the language. She assigns homework both in the workbook and online. She is always willing to help and is very patient.

I took Japanese masterpieces with Professor Chessick and loved it so much. She's so sweet and really wants to share Japanese culture with others. Readings and films are provided and enjoyable and engaging. Participation is required but it's easy if you're prepared. Lots of small assignments for easy points and a final is a paper. TAKE HER CLASS!

I don't think it's a stretch to say that you can't get much better than Chessick-sensei. After having her for both JAPN104 and 250, she is one of my favorite professors at the university. Japanese is a tough language, but she makes it fun, worth your time, and is always willing to help. This is the class that got me up in the morning.
