Hasegawa is a homie take this class you will not be disappointed!

I took this class fall quarter, but I wanted to say that Tsuyoshi is a great dude! I enjoy history so that's my bias BUT this class was pretty easy and made a little better by his strange sense of humor. The essays were not difficult and the midterm/final were fair. My TA, Brian Griffith, was also an amazing dude, I'd recommend both of them!

So with Hasegawa, he is difficult to hear in lecture and sometimes the slides are a bit confusing, but overall its a pretty easy class. If history is not your thing, youll do just fine. A lot is covered in your section, there are only 3 big papers and the tests are fairly easy. He is an oddly humored man but very passionate about history.

Professor Hasegawa is an interesting character, he tends to be funny at times and chooses to engage with the students. The class is fairly easy if you keep up with the readings, note the textbook is required, but not needed. Only thing though about the class is his Japanese accent however it could be picked up.

Hasegawa is a great professor. His lectures are very fascinating. His class does require a lot of reading and writing- however it isn't graded too harshly. I would recommend TA's Stephanie and Jay.

Truly a terrific professor who cares greatly about his students. He even showed up to some of the discussion sections to make sure we understood the material. There are 3 papers in this class (all of which are extremely easy). The midterm and final are super easy as well.
