Maybe it's because I'm a heritage speaker so I didn't have much trouble with the course, but I still liked her very much both as a teacher and as a person. She can seem a bit disorganized, but I absolutely loved how she ran the class, and I am hoping to take Japanese 102B (with Hayashi-sensei, of course) in the fall even though I am a CSE major and I've already fulfilled my foreign language requirements in high school. Oh and as for that one review that was complaining about how Hayashi-sensei didn't tell you what was going to be on the tests (final, midterm, or whatever it was)... professors are by no means whatsoever required to tell you what's on the exams they give out... I am personally very grateful everytime a professor tells the class the contents of any test, and whoever complained about her not feeding you the answers to the test should get his/her ideas straight, no? Maybe it's just me...
