Comment:
Satoshi is not a bad professor. Probably the best one to take this class with. Make sure to get a good TA for the discussion section. 6 HW's, 2 exams, 2 quizzes,extra credit. Material is difficult/confusing and the grading is a bit tough. Great class if you need Ling101, not good as a free elective. Good class, but only take if you are required to.

Comment:
Satoshi is one of the sweetest professors in the department. He legitimately cares about his students, something I find to be sadly more and more rare. He rarely gives out 100% on anything, but it is also rare to completely fail. He gets so into his teachings that he can lose students, and other students take advantage of his kindness, sadly.

Best professor for senior seminar! Tomioka is very caring and understanding, and treats students like they know what they're doing and not like children. Seminar could be a bit dry because it was mostly student presentations, but definitely possible to get an A. No exams, some written assignments.

Great person, wonderful with study abroad, but was a difficult teacher and often didn't have control of the room. Lots of cheating in the class. Good teacher and good person...get to know him!

Everyone needs to study for this class. It is not hard but it is a challenging class. He is the best professor for this class and he lets you use charts for the tests so take him. Overall its easy to get a B

Love this man. Class is not hard at all if you keep up. Discussion sections are definitely more helpful than lectures. Not a hard class to get an A in. Definitely recommend this class. Your TA could make or break your experience so just hope you get a good one.

He's precious. Definitely recommend. Two exams (non-cumulative), 6 HWs, and 2 quizzes. A lot of extra credit too. Discussion sections are way more helpful than lecture. Skipped half the lectures and still managed a B. Take him!

This man is adorable. He is definitely the best prof for this class because he doesn't make you memorize the chart and he is hilarious. The material seems more difficult than it really is. The hardest part is figuring out what he is asking! The discussions were helpful and I recommend going to the tutors before a test to clarify the main points.

Easy A if you go to class and learn the material. Discussions are helpful with a good TA. There are only 2 exams (mid-term and final), 6 HW's that have a group section, 2 quizzes. Highly recommended. He's awesome!

Great professor. He keeps class fun and interesting, and is easy to understand. You don't have to memorize much since he gives you a chart of phonetic symbols for the exams. Definitely take him for linguistics!

Satoshi is cool and funny! He throws in funny examples & movie clips! One of the easiest LING professors at UD. He does have not accent so sometimes he words stuff a lil weird on exams & hws but your TA can clear it up for u. I had an awesome TA- Toni M. who really helped!

Satoshi is a pretty cool guy. The class isn't hard if you pay attention and make sure you go to office hours if you don't understand something. He's the only ling101 professor who doesn't require you to memorize each sound so definitely take it with him

He is a great Professor and the class is fairly interesting. Easy A if you pay attention at lectures and do the homework. 2 non-cumulative tests. A textbook that you don't need. Memorize sounds and you'll do fine.

Satoshi is a great professor, and you wouldn't expect him to relate to students.. but he used regional differences saying "high, stoned, baked" etc. and the Simpsons as examples in class. You earn the grade you get in the class, it's not given to you. Take good notes!

He is not hard to understand, but you can forget about the ta's. They try to be helpful but most of the time it doesn't work because you can't understand anything that comes out tof their mouths. You'll do fine if you go to class and do well on the homeworks. All of that makes up 30% of your grade.

He is a good teacher, funny and tries to explain everything. MEMORIZE the phonemes...and never forget. Go to lecture, for the ta's can't speak or explain anything very well. He can speak pretty decent english as well

He's a good guy and tries to bring some humor into lectures. Disliked the class more than I disliked the professor. Please, do yourself a favor and do not take this class for a group requirement. I came out knowing nothing useful.

Memorize symbols! Or wahtever the hell those thigns were called. He speaks english, but very proper and with an accent. Keep with slides, but lecture is very boring. The TA's cant speak english at all.

Even though he is from Japan, he is very easy to understand. He is humorous during class and is easy to talk to. The class is not that bad if you take the time to memorize the basic symbols and info.
