Winter 2018 - I enrolled into this class during week 2 and Professor Hirano was very lenient about me making up missed assignments. Every week there are two assignments due based off of the readings. Some of the readings are from his course website and some are from the books he assigned. Professor Hirano is without a doubt a leader in his field, the sheer amount of knowledge he has with regards to Japanese History is astonishing. His lectures are extremely helpful and clear, if you go to lecture and take good notes, you will be more than prepared for the Midterm (paper), and the Final (paper). There are no in class exams. This class is not your typical history class, rather than just spewing historical facts, he takes the class through Japan's history through the lenses of various Japanese philosophers. Take this class if you like history, you will learn a lot.

His lectures were straight forward and to take good notes of it is all that needed to ace the tests. its only a matter of complete regurgitation. I didnt do well in the class cuz I fell asleep sometimes and skipped a couple of lectures, but if u follow thru every lecture with great care and read the books then u will ace it for sure
