learned nothing from this class. she is impatient and not very helpful. her summary is kinda helpful, but what she did in class is just reading the answer keys

I love this teacher! I decided to take German 100 just for fun and Dr. O'Brien made this course so much fun indeed. She's knowledgeable, funny, helpful, and a pretty easy marker. Don't skip a class! participation is key all the while enjoyable. Probably my favorite class!

Took this summer class in my last term at UBC. I only spent 1-2 days to study before the exams and did pretty well. Tests and exam were not hard at all and she is also a quite easy marker.

I love this woman. She is so funny in a cute, quirky kind of way. She is extremely approachable, and if she doesn't immediately have an answer for your question, she will go out of her way to find out for you. Easy marker and makes German and Germany even more interesting than they already are! Highly recommend.

Honestly, one of my favourite professors that I've had at UBC thus far, I'm surprised at all these comments that people posted, since she's so funny, friendly and helpful. She's basically like a mother figure in my opinion. If you study consistently and even in small amounts, you'll do amazing. She's always there to help you.

You'll learn some of the basic grammars in German, pretty straightforward. DO PRACTICE HOW TO SEARCH A WORD UP IN THE DICTIONARY!! 3 tests plus final and attendance. Didn't spent much time on it still ended up with A+. Go to her office hour !

Extremely helpful and she is definitely one of the best profs I've had. The course material wasn't too hard and Adelheid made them rather interesting. Midterms and Final are common across differnet sections. Do goto her office hour because it'll help you ALOT!

Comment:
If you have taken 433 already and already have the basics down, I wouldn't bother going to class in 434. It's a waste of your time and all she ever does is read through the answer key. Do the practice tests before the exam, and that is all you will ever need.

Comment:
She doesn't teach much in class, but all you really need is to read over her handouts. Her exams consist of a short piece of German writing followed by a few mc's, T/F, and short answers. Very little grammar knowledge is needed. I spent very little time on it and I ended up with an A+!

Adelheid ist fabelhaft! I never felt like I was attending a class. She's direct, funny and makes the class go by so fast. Just do your homework, learn your vocab and participate just a little bit, and you'll be fine!

She's a nice person and gave relevant handouts and assignments. However, I did not think that she used class time efficently. She should post homework answers online and let us compare on our own rather than type it up during class.

Comment:
Her True/False questions are always so ambiguously put. They make for a frustrating learning/test experience. Otherwise, the class is a joke.
