Hirano, Mayumi

Leans worth takingread from published reviews and public records · medium confidence

Take Hirano for JPN 11 if you want a kind, chill, light-load beginner Japanese class and will memorize kana on your own and handle timed online quizzes. Do not treat this as advice on her ARTM sections — those have no injected voice. Sample is two comments, so lean_take rather than take.

Suits

students who want a considerate JPN 11 with light async work
students willing to self-drill kana and kanji

Look elsewhere if

students who need heavy in-class script instruction
students who cannot sit timed online quizzes

review for HIRANO, Mayumi for JPN 11: Japanese Language and Culture 1 TLDR: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ very A-able!! i love her sm, take her!! overall a very very chill class :> WORKLOAD - very light workload!! worksheets and chapter tasks are done asynchronously and are either passed via online or on paper (depending on the assessment) - we had 2 onsite quizzes, 1 online asynchronous quiz, and our final exam was also asynchronous ^^ the online assessments are timed though, and time pressure can be a bit overwhelming - honestly, just do well on the worksheets and quizzes and it'll be A-able AS A PROF/ONSITE LECTURES - during our time with her on the previous A.Y., she's very considerate with the deadlines esp if the extension is something that the class have agreed upon (tho please don't abuse this one) - she really guides you during class, like she calls for everyone and makes everyone do mini exercises with ur neighbor (aka ur seatmate!! she calls it that and i found it really cute tbh) pero dw even if it's confusing at first kasi chill lang naman siya! - vvv responsive prof honestly, i usually contacted her via canvas and she replies pretty fast as long as it's within office hours - what made her memorable to me was that before class (specifically before she takes attendance), she shows us videos related to japanese culture. i remember her showing us the japanese greetings song and it was so cute it got stuck in my head for days 😆 HIRAGANA, KATAKANA, KANJI - i suggest that you go through hiragana and katakana in advance na! though naiintroduce (?) naman siya during class, most of the time spent practicing for these characters are done asynchronously (and iirc may worksheet din ito to practice) - as for kanji, it'll be tackled sometime after midterms pa! i hope this helps!! goodluck for those taking JPN 11 💫 and feel free to add more <333more

id say she is! yup ive taken that class and it was super fun, extremely manageable workload (tbh to me it barely felt like work since she made it something i looked forward to) and if things get heavy she’s very open to adjustments since she considers your workload for other classes as well, plus she grades back relatively fast and with feedback 😁more
