If you wanna learn more japanese, I really recommend taking Kawada sensei's higher level courses!! One of the most fun japanese classes I've been in, that really allows you to use the japanese you know

This is the best professor I've had. The amount of effort and detail he puts into each class demonstrates how much he wants us to improve. He is very good in creating a safe learning environment. You will definitely improve your Japanese and learn to be confident. This class shouldn't be taken for  grades, but instead to learn a new language.

Amazing professor! Among all the lectures I've skipped in my 1st undergraduate year, this I never skipped. Kawada sensei's class stood out to me, and I always enjoyed his class. I took JAPN160 with in the 1st semester and 260 in the 2nd. Classes can be challenging, but with review the class should be easy. 10/10 would recommend.

Recommend not choosing him as summer term instructor. He forced everyone to speak up during the entire class and made everyone exhausted after class. Although his feedbacks on assignments showed his effort and how much care to students, his marking scheme is one of the toughest instructor I have seen in language course. Prepare or don't choose him.

This class was the highlight of my semester. Class atmosphere was very inclusive and a joy to be around. Lots of jokes and laughter but the lectures are extremely clear with a lot of support from both professor and TA. Would take again! Although if you do take this - make sure you somewhat master hiragana before the course starts(doesn't take long)

Class with Kawada-sensei is always fun. He cares a lot about his students and creates a space where we all feel at ease with one another. He keeps the class engaged and goes out of his way to help with any questions. Very understanding and accessible outside of class hours. I hope he gets to teach higher level JAPN classes in the near future.

DO NOT TAKE JAPN 402!!!!!! Lots of homework and quizzes. If you just want to get elective credits, please do not waste your time. You might give up learning Japanese after this course because it is very exhausting.

On top of holding interesting lectures, he is also quite funny and knows how to teach. He is also really understanding and also a great guy in general, he is the best prof I have had.

I had a fun experience learning from him. Although the course was intensive and required hours of study each day, it was absolutely worth it. I would have taken JAPN 260 if I hadn't needed to graduate afterward.
