Many language students say that there is one professor they encounter who really makes them fall in love with the language... Cari is hands-down this! She grades easily, cares about each and every student, and genuinely WANTS you to succeed. In my 5 years of french, she was the best teacher I ever had. Learned more in one semester than 2 years!Rate My Professors ↗

Cari was the best French professor I've met. I took her class for two semesters. Easy grader, cared about her students. She would send out the practice quiz before the real quiz each time, and she encouraged her students to participate more in class. I highly recommend her if you are considering taking a French course!Rate My Professors ↗
