I would definitely recommend him as a professor!",

He's really easy to talk to and super helpful. 322 had a lot of work and readings, and he was a tough grader at times, but if you do the work it'll be ok.  He schedules the semester so finals time are a breeze for this class.",

Although Andrew's written French is good, his oral is not impressive and he often makes simple grammatical mistakes.  He's a nice guy and he wants to engage the class, but he only succeeded in doing so once or twice the whole semester.  I don't recommend him for this class.",
