Students spent about five to ten hours a week out of class on homework assignments, which were usually due every Friday. Students also had daily quizzes, a chapter exam for each chapter that they completed, which usually fell biweekly, short compositions, a final, and a Japanese composition due at the end of the semester. Despite the course's challenges, every student said that their Japanese improved immensely. Many also enjoyed the small class size, which allowed for more class participation. Some students even found the course to be motivational.
Students advise that the course is hardcore.
But if you are good with language, the class is very satisfying.
