Favored certain students, picked on others. Laughed at you if you didn't know an answer to a cold call. Made people feel very uncomfortable coming to class. For me it was extremely hard to want to come to class because it was terrifying, but attendance plays a big role.

Don't skip class- your grade is almost entirely dependent on attendance and participation. Good teacher, and answers questions fully when prompted.

I don't know what the rest of the French department is like, but this wasn't a very good introduction. I felt that our professor was very worksheet-heavy and assigned far too many tedious grammar assignments. I know that a language class is going to have grammar, but 7 a day is excessive.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2619044","quality_rating":2.0,"difficulty_rating":4.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:23:33.749093+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTE3ODIxOTU=","source_instructor_id":"rmp:334186","instructor_name":"Leslie Haygood","course_label":"FRENCH203","course_id":"FRENCH 203","course_uid":"course_a6c76848bc7e89d65eb3f037","review_date":"2004-03-06 11:12:10 +0000 UTC","comment":"Awesome guy, hilarious!
