Comment:
One of my favorite professors at FSU, hands-down. Very courteous, professional and caring. She has a huge passion for language and it shows in her work. I wish I could take more classes with her. If you want to take German classes at FSU, make sure to have a class with her. Can't describe how great she is.

Extremely friendly and absolutely wants you to succeed at German. Native speaker but is very easy to understand. Prepare to speak at least once every class and expect to get called if you dont volunteer but as long as you give a decent effort youll be fine. Very approachable after class and during office hours.

Comment:
This class is about the legacy of Nazi Germany through film. Class 2 days a week. Watch a movie one day & have a discussion about it during the next class. You have to write a few papers, but it's not a difficult task. Prof. M-K is great and she is always available to help. She is so eager to teach and have you get involved. Definitely recommend!

Comment:
Just finished my second semester with Dr. M-K. Even though she's a native speaker she's really easy to understand. Prepare for about two essays (350 words) for each class. Bring your dictionary to class and if all else fails just try and say whatever you can come up with. She values making an effort over being correct always.

Nice teacher. She's from Germany but speaks very slowly and clearly. Attend class and do your homework (and study!) and you'll be fine; she wants everyone to do well in her class.

Great teacher, will put you on the spot though if you take a conversation class! I've taken her twice and will again next semester.

I have had her for 3 classes, German Grammer, German Phonetics, and German4930 Lit course, and all 3 she was always open to talk if I was having problems and graded fairly. I made 2 A- and 1 B respectively. She won't just give you a grade, but she is so nice.

Dr. Maier-Katkin is lots of fun! She's very friendly and knows everything about German. Get used to be unwillingly called upon during class, however.

Dr. M-K is the hardest teacher in the German dept. She does not give homework, but she expects you do put in a lot of effort. If you do bad at the beginning and get help from her in her office hours, let her know you are trying and then improve you will make a good grade. Weekly quizzes usually, and tons of reading for her lit classes.

Dr. M-K is fun and cheerful. She is a tough grader and very very fair. She doesn't cut slack, but if you go to her office hours and get to know her she will cut you slack... No homework, easy quizzez, easy tests. Plus she is a cutie.
