11/07/2023		Professor Mason is one of the best teachers at UMD, hands down. I had her for JAPN498A, and she is passionate about her subject and makes even the least interesting parts of the class engaging. Classes feel more like discussions (in a good way) rather than lectures. There is a lot of reading in this class, but Professor Mason makes it manageable, and she’s really understanding with late work as long as you talk to her.

Her lectures are interesting, her discussions are fascinating and she treats her students like equals in a conversation rather than someone she is "teaching." No matter what she is teaching, she tries to make sure that the class is going to benefit you as a person for the rest of your life, which I really appreciate. Take her classes UNDER ANY AND ALL CIRCUMSTANCES, because she is too fantastic to miss! There was a lot of reading in JAPN498B, but it was all interesting and was totally worth it to experience such a great class.
