Elstob is really motivated to get you interested in the material. He speaks 5 languages fluently and he has such great knowledge about language and culture it's hard not to be impressed. He's very laid back and I never saw him get mad or even irritated. He's funny and makes class interesting. Take him, it'll be easy and fun

Comment:

Its a good class if you need the upper div from an online course. Overall I thought most of the material we went over was interesting. Concepts were repeated far too many times. The amount of writing we had to do was irritating but easy in terms of subject matter. Don't procrastinate because you will feel overwhelmed. Gives a ton of extra credit.

Comment:

Took this class to round out my needed units. Straightforward online class but theres a ton of busy work. Weekly quiz, assignment, and bi-weekly discussion board. At the end of the semester there are essentially three essays along with added discussion boards. Very easy grader. If you turn in work you will pass easily. Be prepared for the busy work

Comment:

This was my first online class and it was easy to navigate through his course. Every week consisted of: 1 multiple choice quiz, 1 short response quiz (5-15 questions), and discussion board. There are 2-3 big papers as well. It's a pretty easy class, just a lot of time-consuming work.

The class material is easy, however it is all busy work. The assignments and quizzes take 3-4 hours to complete every week and there are discussions every week. Plenty of extra credit. Easy material but really TIME CONSUMING. Clear instructions and Prof. Elstob is really helpful.

Comment:

The class was easy. I would suggest devoting 3-5hrs per week for this class. The assignments were boring and tedious, but easy. He offers a lot of extra credit and his instructions are really clear. There are several projects towards the end of the semester, but nothing too hard. Definitely an easy A!

Honestly, one of the best professor in Sac State hands down! This professor needs a raise and a trophy, literally! He is not lazy by any means. He teaches with so much knowledge and grace. A very knowledgeable and lovely professor indeed. I highly recommend him, if u want to learn and enjoy French, then he is the one for you! He ROCKS, the BEST!

Comment:

He makes learning French easy and enjoyable. Highly recommend taking him if you have a heavy course load. Exams are take home and the homework he assigns doesn't take too much time. The final is the only test you have to take in class but he is a fair grader and doesn't have unreasonable expectations from an elementary class.

Comment:

The assignments are easy but take at least 8-9 hours to complete each week. I thought it was unnecessary to have so many meaningless assignments. You learn nothing from them just a waste time. Especially the quizzes from the book where you have to find stuff like popular train in France and famous cheese in certain region. Who cares?

Anyone who says they had a difficult time in this class probably didn't pay too much attention. He is very helpful and keeps his class informed and even helps out a lot more than other teachers on tests a quizzes. nice guy and would recommend him.

I always did every thing last minute for his online class, but don't make that same mistake. I did just fine but was always mad at myself for waiting! Weekly assignments and quizzes, bi-weekly discussions. A few big projects, but they were VERY easy. FOLLOW HIS INSTRUCTIONS. He also offers extra credit. The material is very easy to understand!

tons and tons of writing. Those are not big writings, but weekly assignments and discussions made you write and takes you a lot of time to finish it. They should put this class in "writing intensive" area.

Completely online class. Class is not difficult but there are tons of assignmentsquizzes due weekly; luckily not timed. Mandatory group discussions. Many chances for extra credit. Textbook helps A LOT for quizzes but you can also use Google. Expect an A if you put in the effort to complete all assignmentsquizzes and weekly discussions.

The class was different from other online classes I have taken. You're basically on your own and have to keep up w/ dates but I think that is good because it holds you accountable. Although that is the case, he is very helpful if you have questions (email and office hour friendly). Just make sure you try and engage in the class and you should pass.

Very cool class and totally cool teacher. He's into it & does a good job of guiding the lesson plan through a lot of things that are quite interesting. Stay up on the homework & discussion boards & you should get an A. Not a stringent grader, he looked a lot at effort and who was engaged in the coursework. I definitely recommend him and the class.
