Reviews of professor Hiroko Townsend

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This was my first language class experience outside of high school, and it was amazing. Sensei is extremely passionate for teaching and is extremely sweet and helpful. There is a lot of homework for the class but ultimately, helped me learn the language much easier. She grades very quickly and is able to provide helpful feedback. 10/10 professor!

This is the first class I've taken since I'd graduated college.  Sensei Townsend was one of the most amazing professors I've ever encountered.  She really has a heart for teaching and the patience for students who need extra extra help. She is willing to stay late and really make sure you understand what she taught that day. A must take!

I just finished taking JAPN 102 with Hiroko Townsend. She is a wonderful teacher that doesn't concern herself about when an assignment is turned in but rather, the quality of the work done. She leaves a lot of feedback and makes sure that you learn from any mistakes made. I would definitely take a class with her again!

Hiroko sensei is quite possibly the best educator I've ever had. If you have the opportunity to take her class please do not hesitate to grab a spot in the class. Sensei not only gave me a better and easier experience learning Japanese than not only my previous language teachers, but any other professor in any other subject period.

If you want a professor who cares and actually helps you understand the material, take Professor Townsend's class! Hands down one of the best professors I have ever had! Here's the secret to her class: read, practice, ask for help if needed, listen to the PowerPoint slides, and have fun! This class was a blast!

She is one of the most encouraging professors I have ever met and also easy to get along with! Sensei really shows how much she wants you to learn and cares about her students too! Japanese is not easy to learn but she makes this very fun. There will be a lot of homework but it can be managed, attendance isn't mandatory but recommended.

Professor Townsend makes learning a difficult language more manageable and fun. She gives lots of homework as a way for you to practice writing and reading, and it helps for the quizzes! She genuinely cares and is available to help when you have questions, so don't be shy! I highly recommend taking her class. Can't wait to take her for 102!

Mrs. Townsend is a great Japanese professor. Her teaching is rooted in practice, practice, practice. In her Zoom lectures, she has her students read and pronounce words and phrases. This practice allowed me personally to memorize Japanese easier and be able to enjoy it at the same time. Overall, I enjoyed learning the Japanese language from her.
