Loved Sophia. She did a great job making the material seem relevant, and is a great person.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5

She is a wonderful person (and a native German speaker to boot). Super knowledgeable, kind, caring, understanding, empathetic. Class attendance is mandatory and worth a lot of your grade. As long as you try and put in effort (and somewhat understand German), you should easily get an A.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5

Sophia is one of the brightest, funniest, most down-to-earth educators you'll ever meet. Extraordinarily approachable, friendly and knowledgeable, she somehow transformed a mandatory course into something genuinely fun. While the German dept as a whole is fantastic, if I could take all of my courses with her, I would.
