Comment:
Easiest class Ive ever taken, and the sweetest professor Ive ever had. 3 open note online exams based on his lectures, and none are cumulative. Doesnt post his slides online so be sure to go to every lecture and take good notes. We also had a bunch of easy in class assignments and easy hw based off of the textbook.

Comment:
The class is very much lecture-focused and the questions are taken almost directly from the lectures. He doesn't post the slides but if you show up and take semi-decent notes you'll pass the class no problem. Your grade is based on three exams, all were noncumulative and open note, and a couple other easy assignments from the textbook.

Comment:
Probably one of the easiest classes I've ever taken. Prof is very kind and understanding. Sometimes the lectures can be a little boring but the guided notes help. Homework and in-class activities always easy, homework is just copying out of the textbook. Would recommend if you need an easy class.

Prof. Michimi was a very nice guy overall. Class was very dependent on attending lectures as the midterms and final are all from the notes. The work is not hard just be careful and don't make stupid mistakes. Grading is very straight forward, assignments are very simple.

Comment:
Dr. Michimi is a good professor in many regards. However, he can be rather harsh when it comes to minor mistakes or life simply getting chaotic. Assignments/tests are generally easy, but the wording of certain questions can be unclear leading to an incorrect answer. His class/teaching are generally good, but he can be very unforgiving.

Comment:
I loved Professor Michimi's class. The class was fairly easy, as long as you put in the necessary effort. Although I would say the class is easy, the material he provides was very interesting and engaging. He really works hard to make the class as good as it can possibly be! He has such a happy and positive attitude and cares about his students.

Do take this professor when you have the chance! He is really kind and responds fairly quickly when it comes to emails. The homework was fairly easy, he gives fill in notes, and the exams were based on the notes so they were very easy. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Aki is a great guy. Pretty funny too. The class is not too hard and in addition, he wants his students to get a good grade. Go to class, take notes, study for exams, and you should be able to get an A or A- easily.

He is a solid professor. I took geog 3200 and 2100 with him in the same semester. His 3200 class was easier, I thought. The majority of his exams comes from PowerPoint lectures, in which he does not post online, so you must go to class. Overall, a good prof.

You need to go to lectures because 95% of the exam material comes from there; the other 5% is questions taken directly from in class activities and chapter reports. You need the textbook to fill out the chapter reports since the questions are specific to details in the book. Map quizzes are easy. Lectures can be boring but he cracks a few jokes.

Professor Michimi puts all the info you'll need for the exams in the lectures. Go to lecture and take notes, you'll get a good grade easily. Homework is literally just looking stuff up in the book and writing it down. He does in-class assignments that are easy points. Lectures are interesting and he can be funny from time to time

Aki was great and super helpful! Slides are not posted online, and there are a few random in-class activities, so go to class. You are graded on map quizzes, chapter reports, in class activities, 2 exams, and a final. Exams are really easy, mainly from the slides and some questions are also from the ch. reports. Overall easy class!

His tests are exactly the notes. If you go to class write down EVERYTHING on the lecture slides, you will excel in his class.
