Reviews of professor Livi Yoshioka

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
She is a really nice person and very willing to help you with any struggles in the class. If you participate and do the homework you will do well. There is a quiz a least once a week and homework will take at LEAST 3 hours per hour of class. Be ready to discuss a lot with peers!!

I've had Yoshioka for 3 semesters now, and I love her classes. They are challenging and force you to work, but you'll definitely be better at French by the end of the semester. Helpful during office hours. KEEP UP WITH HOMEWORK. Expects a lot from students, but not in a "you should know this" kinda way, more in a "I know you can do it!" kinda way.

She was a great prof. I learned so much and my French improved immensely. There was a lot of homework (3-4 hours per night for me) and I hated class in the moment. However, Prof Yoshioka is super sweet and I frequently went to her office hours. This class is super difficult, but you will learn a lot. Make sure to keep on top of your work.

Yoshioka is a bit on the tougher side as far as grading goes. I am a French major, and this was the only French class I have taken where I came out of it not feeling confident in my grade. She does give extremely good feedback, though. If you are taking writing of French, here is a head start: she grades based on progress, not perfection.

She's not super supportive when you're struggling and makes you feel bad about it when you do. Last oral exam I had went well and she said good job. The one I had today was trash and she was just like "ok bye." No comments, nothing, and it just made me feel worse.
