Peggy is just nice. Always lenient and kind, but gives good constructive feedback. You must go to class if you want to succeed. She is always willing to help.

I wish she was my grandma. She brings food to class and made us little heart waffles once. Lenient grader and easy exams so long as you try. Finished 101 and 102 with a 99%. But if you don't try it will catch up to you and you won't recover. Just do the homework and show up to class. It's that easy.

Peggy is honestly the nicest woman in existence. I've never wanted to do well in a class more than I did while in her class. I wish I could continue on with Norwegian due to how fun this semester was. If you're thinking about taking a language I will highly recommend Norwegian.

Peggy makes this class simple and fun, genuinely one of the only classes I looked forward to going to every week.

Super fun class and Peggy is a great teacher. She is always very helpful and made the class interesting. Definitely want to continue taking Norwegian with her. You'll also probably get a chance to eat Norwegian waffles with jam!
