THIS CLASS IS RIDICULOUS. I have to say I never read anything in this class, and lectures were very boring. Overall, the class is not hard, but I felt like it was not beneficial to me. Yokoyama is hard to figure out, her lectures are all power point and tedious. The midterm and final ended up being take home becuase they were so hard. I would not recommend this class unless you really need it and like the dull ones!

Although the readings for the course are a bit tedious, Professor Yokoyama doesn't expect her students to read everything. She knows that her class is not reading and she is fine with it. As for her tests, reviewing the online notes is a good way to prepare for them. Overall, Yokoyama is an okay professor, though her lectures can get very confusing and boring at times.
