Charles is the professor we all need. Our classes were two hours long yet time seemed to fly by because of how entertaining he is. He provided amazing feedback on even small homework assignments. He is very understanding about extensions and is someone who simply raises our confidence when we make mistakes. Also, brought us snacks every week :)Rate My Professors ↗
Charles is absolutely hilarious, and the class itself is pretty easy. There's an exam every couple of weeks, but they're never super hard, and you get plenty of points from participation and homework completion. He does a great job of not making speaking in class feel intimidating.Rate My Professors ↗
Charles is a true gem. He is good at french and he makes class interesting. He comes off pretty judgmental and you probably won't leave the semester without being grilled by him, but overall it's a good class. I'd recommend him!Rate My Professors ↗
