Kawanishi sensei is incredibly accommodating and overall a great professor. I got sick the day my oral exam was supposed to be and lost my voice, sensei allowed me to reschedule at the very last minute which I am so grateful for. There are a lot of assignments for this class, but they aren't very difficult and really help you practice what you learned in class.

I have had Prof Kawanishi for J1 and J2 and honestly its a good experience. She is always very helpful and always ready to help. The workload is quite big with homework assignments being due almost every lecture/discussion and as well as quizzes every lecture/discussion but it is not too complicated and help you get a better grasp on the grammar and understanding japanese. I recommend taking the japan series with her :) she always has cute anecdotes to add into the lesson and its very refreshing.

I recommend you take Japanese 2 with 川西先生. She always in a good mood and I enjoyed being taught by her. The workload is a lot (homework, quizzes, and other online assignments) due every week, but if you take the time to study the material, then these assignments become more like review. In-class participation is a significant portion and what made the class engaging! My only critique was that some of the new vocabulary included kanji that we had not yet learned the meaning and stroke order for, which made is very difficult at times to prepare for some quizzes. Despite this, I plan on taking J3 with Kawanishi, so I recommend you do the same.
