Reviews of professor Hiroko Townsend

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Mrs. T is a very caring professor she understands and will try to accommodate to students during online learning. She gives great feedback on every assignment. Attending lectures is optional but highly recommended. You need a good amount of effort for this class as every other language class. You will do fine on tests if you go over hw/ feedback.

Very sweet professor who has a clear passion for teaching. This is a heavy workload class, so be prepared to do a lot of homework and lab hours. As long as you turn in your assignments on time and go to the lectures, you'll do great. Sensei Townsend is also always willing to help and is effective in doing so! Recommend this class 100%.

This teacher is fantastic. Yes, she gives a lot of homework but languages require a lot of work and practice in order to learn. Keep up with the work, show up to class, and pay attention and you will get an A. Amazing teacher.

She is very helpful and will always respond if you reach out for help. DO NOT be afraid to make a mistake because she will be able to help you understand why you made said mistake and help you understand the correct answer. Make sure you STUDY and do homework, she is flexible/lenient, but only if you are showing that you are putting in the work.

such a good teacher i wish i could take her again. jap101 isn't a low unit class so a lot of work and assignments should be expected, but she taught the material very well and smoothly. very caring and will be patient with you if you're having a hard time understanding the material.

She is incredibly nice and willing to answer any of your questions. She has zoom meetings twice a week that are not mandatory, but are very helpful. There are A LOT of worksheets that are fairly difficult, but they're graded by completion not correctness. She also offers some extra credit. As long as you turn everything in you will pass.

Very kind professor and always willing to answer questions and give further insight if asked. Tons of new assignments are given every lecture and are usually due the very next day. All of them can be done in the Language Lab though. I was actually missing several small and large assignments by the end and still got an A.

There is a lot of homework to do this time but allows you to re-submit to do your best, so please take those chances since she just wants you to try. She'd give really good feedback to help you especially during tests, also provides a lot of extra credit! I may not have gotten an A but I'd still take her class again since I learned a lot from her!
