If you're on this site because you get to have M. Voelker as a teacher, I'm so jealous. I would switch around my entire schedule just to be in his class again...and I'm not even a French major. Easily one of the best, if not the best, teachers at this school.Rate My Professors ↗
I LOVE FRANZ! Sometimes he's a little spacey, and forgets names, but boy is he a character!!! Oh yeah, and he interrupts a lot too.Rate My Professors ↗
Franz is so funny. He is a really cool Swiss guy with an amazing accent. The class isn't hard at all and he does a good job of explaining things we don't know. you will do tons of fun daily activities.Rate My Professors ↗
Excellent T.A.! Very helpful and so so nice! (Funny, too!)Rate My Professors ↗
He grows on you. He's a good-natured person. Take his class, it's good.Rate My Professors ↗
Very nice, funny, and extremley helpful. He gives a little quiz each day on the homework from the night before but they are very easy. Very nice and never makes a student feel uncomfortable if they don't know an answer. There is no teaching of grammer in this class so there is alot of book use, but he will always help after during or before class.Rate My Professors ↗
