She's a very nice person and a good teacher, but the coursework for the honors section was way too much (to be fair, I didn't want to be in it as I'm an engineer but it fit my schedule). I would recommend her as a teacher though, I learned a lot of french.Rate My Professors ↗
Madame Claypool is SUCH a good professor. She will legitimately make you do the work and asks a lot of Honors sections, but if you do the work you will become so much better at French. She's also one of the nicest people ever. I would recommend her to anyone who genuinely wants to be better at French.Rate My Professors ↗
She's a great instructor. I did all of the work but never studied for anything and got an A.Rate My Professors ↗
Mary is actually a TA for the French department, but I know that she will definitly be teaching next year so if you have the opportunity to take french from her, please do. She is a great help, fun, and very enthusiastic about the material. She is always willing to give help as well.Rate My Professors ↗
