Anderson-sensei is my favorite professor I've taken so far. She is extremely caring, understanding, and is always smiling. Her class was also very tough, with lots of homework to varying levels of difficulty. It is certainly not an easy A. As long as you put effort into this class and actively stay engaged, you will love it!JPNS1101 2025-12-20 04:45:58 +0000 UTC
She is a super nice and caring professor (very motherly like). Classes are really engaging and all material to study given prior to the assessment (most if not all on quizlet). Will say its not an easy A course you will have to work for your grade!JPNS1102 2025-12-17 02:34:54 +0000 UTC
Such an organized professor like Canvas was chef's kiss. Kind and caring, very motherly. Accessible outside of class and very understanding. She's not tough, but she's not an easy A. I loved this class. She'll match each student's pace. Every class was fun.JPNS1101 2025-04-18 17:04:22 +0000 UTC
Anderson Sensei is so sweet and is an excellent professor. I got so much better at reading, writing, and speaking this semester and you are given chances to practice vocab, kanji, and sentence structure in and out of class. The only downside is the amount of homework. While easy there are multiple videos each week which leads to a lot of busywork.JPNS1102 2025-12-11 22:57:12 +0000 UTC
