Reviews of professor Haruko Wakabayashi

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
This class is a literature class so it is all reading, very few responses and two papers. There isn't a lot to be graded on. The teacher is engaging and passionate, and class and class discussions are interesting. This is a nice class to take for fun or major credit.

Wakabayashi is a professor who is passionate about what she does. However, she will lecture only in Japanese and verbally. As someone who is a visual learner with auditory issues, I had a lot of trouble in the class. I would not recommend anyone who has trouble focusing and is bad with hearing to take this course. I would have switched had I known.

Good: - Expresses great interest in the topics she teaches - tries to get students to participate in discussions - An interesting and manageable amount of reading and short essays due weekly. Downside : be careful with your grammar, you will lose points in midterm and final paper

We had 3 assignments per week, responding to a reading, finding a relevant piece of art, and a discussion post. There were no quizzes, and the final project was group work. Prepare to interact with classmates a lot during in-class discussions. The prof is knowledgeable and kind, but I wasn't really interested in the subject

One of the best and sweetest professors here at Rutgers. Professor Wakabayashi is so knowledgeable and you can tell from her lectures and the questions she answers. I had such a wonderful time learning in her class, and if I could, I would take all her classes. You would be lucky to take a class with Professor Wakabayashi! Simply the best!
