Awesome Prof. Helpful, funny, and nice. I learned a lot and had fun. Also, the class isn't very work intensive, but you still learn a lot.

Comment:

Took accelerated intro with Gross and loved it. I think he has favorites in class but he is a pretty fair teacher. The quizes were weekly and easy. He tells you everything that will be on the test. I improved my pronunciation immensly thanks to him and I loved the class. I would reccomend him.

Comment:

he was a great french teacher for everything except for speaking. my writing and reading skills improved, the texts were fun, and the grammer review was short but helpful. he was always willing to answer questions and debate about things though those sometimes went way off topic. he just didn't challenge our speaking skills very much.

Awesome prof, very funny, very patient, very animated. I definitely recommend him, he knows his stuff. Not at all strict and there are no papers, just EASY quizzes and short tests.

Comment:

Does a horrible job facilitating discussions. Full of himself...unjustifiably, I might add. Lacks professionalism in his field and I feel my time would be better spent reading grammar books. Sometimes a funny guy though. Plays favorites.

Ok, so he likes to talk loudly, so what! I still thought he was a great prof. for accelerated Intro to French. He forced us to speak (whether we wanted to or not), and was a great all around guy. Don't know about his upper level courses though ...

Very very pompous--I would not recommend any class that includes literature, because he just talks and talks and doesn't facilitate discussion.

One of the nicest profs; can be egotistical at times--dismiss it.
