Comment:

Kerry is a fantastic prof. Extremely nice, and extremely approachable. She clearly cares about her students. I missed a test because of a miscommunication on Learn. Although all the other students had already taken the test the class before, Prof. Lappin-Fortin was willing to let me take a make-up test. Not all profs are that merciful. :)

She is a wonderful prof who genuinely cares about her students, and takes the time to get to know them. I looked forward to her classes! She is a little rusty with technology, and even though her notes can be all over the place, they are easy to follow if you pay attention.

Fantastic French prof! I would definitely take another course with Madame. You can tell she truly cares about her students' success and is passionate about what she does. Make sure you study for tests and do the assigned exercises and you'll get by no problem.

Not as nice as she seems. Seems to pick and choose who she is nice to. Can also sometimes be condescending if she doesn't like the choices you've made in your translation. Will also laugh at your choices if she doesn't agree with you.

Great Prof! I would reccommend taking any class possible with her. The culture questions on tests tend to trick up students. Do the exercises she assigns and you will be fine.She is very personable and makes an effort to get to know her students by name

Comment:

I had her for FR192A and B. Madame is so nice and very clear with her explanations. She knows all her students by name even if they're not ones to speak up. The course is very grammar-focused, but sometimes there are random French culture questions on the tests that catch you by surprise; be very thorough with your studying.

She's really, REALLY nice. Probably the best French prof at Waterloo. She makes it clear as to what she wants, and if you do them, you'd get an automatic 80. Her marking's fairly easy as long as you take note of what she teaches in class, and she's super friendly and easy to approach. Definitely take a class with her, you won't regret it.

Wonderful prof - I was amazed when she knew all of our names by about the second class! She genuinely cares about her students and tries her best to be accessible and easy to understand. Despite a horribly laid out textbook, I learned a lot from her.

The only class I was interested for this term. Easy assignments, great enthusiasm for teaching french and very approachable outside of class. I never learnt so much french from a teacher before in my life.

Comment:

Kerry is a genuinely nice person. Sometimes I find her notes to be all over the place and sparse...sometimes its difficult to understand where exactly she's reading from or what she's talking about because she jumps from one thing to another. Still a lovely person though. It's rare to find a prof with such a good heart these days.

Lovely, cheerful, enthusiastic woman. Her classes (assignments and tests included) are very straightforward. Doing well is easy, yet you somehow come out of her class having learned quite a bit. Can't say enough nice things about Madame.
