Not that serious a teacher, which is okay, because all of us get tired of those professors with high standards. He basically reads off lecture notes, is super flexible and available if you need his help, and gives out easy assignments. But don't get lulled into a false sense of security in his class. I went in thinking this class was a piece of cake (and it is, mostly) but then I ended up with a terrible grade on the midterm. You still have to be alert and study. Don't let his niceness catch you off guard. It's still school!

Prof. Matsumoto is dope. She's very kind and always gives a friendly smile. This class is pretty much very similar to Asian American Studies 10/10W. It's basically an AAS class. It's fairly easy and the readings are interesting. The midterm and final are really easy - two essays in each. She gives you the questions beforehand and picks two. As long as you prep from the study guide, you'll be fine. I got an A- in the class. Go to the lectures and esp. SEE THE MOVIE SCREENINGS. I'm really into film but I love some of the documentaries/short films we got to see - especaily when the filmmakers would come and do a brief QA session. The films kind of tie in to the class but for me, its a nice break from lectures. The paper she assigns is actually quite different and interesting than most history papers as you relate your own personal or someone else's history to the larger scope of Asian history in the U.S. Take Matsumoto. She's great. She's nice. She references other scholars/readings quite frequently in her lectures which I admire - giving much credit to her peers.
