Reviews of professor Shigehiro Suzuki

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
One of the most caring professors. Gives extra credit on all the tests that can boost your grade. Short reflection papers on movies you watch in class with very clear guidelines. You must participate in one "debate" against another team on a topic given to you but graded easy as long as you show you put in a little effort.

He's worth taking. classtime is so easy and you have barely any work besides like 3 rare quizzes and two grpup projects. He's pretty nice, soemtimes instructions are unclear but it doesnt really matter. Not super organized, but very nice and very easy. MAterial is interesting too

Dr. Suzuki's classes are truly in learn-by-conversation format. For PSC courses, I believe all should be taught this way, as this is where you learn not only facts/information, but also learn how to communicate with others and have respectful and collaborative conversations that are essential for international relations.

Super nice guy and a great way to fulfill a gen-ed. Lecture heavy with group presentations. Don't read the textbook, material is covered in lecture & slides. Just take some notes. Presentations are minimal effort and mostly done in class. Very little homework besides occasional debate preparations or reflections. Tests are rare and easy. Take him.

Prof Suzuki is literally one of my favorite people on planet Earth. Just a good guy with a good heart. Cares about his students and does whatever he can to help you learn.

Shigehiro Suzuki is a nice man, but his instructions are not good. Every group presentation and debate, which collectively take over half the semester to present, feels like guessing what he wants to hear. He does not really teach and we all kind of just take turns presenting to the class which I did not like very much. But he was a chill grader.

He was absolutely terrible, completely disorganized, and the class was almost entirely student presentations and debates, he taught us literally nothing. If you want to learn anything at all that you don't have to teach yourself, don't take him ever.

He was extremely unorganized and the lectures didn't ever seem planned. They never had anything to do with the readings. It was hard to understand what you were expected to do in this class. You have to watch 2 long movies and write 5 page reflection papers for them and prepare a debate and group presentation along with two exams.
