Comment:

Fun, hilarious, knows French well. It's a hard subject (duh, cause it's learning a new language), so you shouldn't take it for an easy A, but she makes it worth it if you really do want to learn French. Also, make sure you talk in class; she gets frustrated when no one responds to her. She wrote a story about how she felt she was going crazy lol

Comment:

Really sweet but expects you to work for it. That's kinda how you learn a language: lots of practice. Ask for extra help - we emailed each other chatting about random things in French so I could practice putting sentences together. And if you actually talk in class, she'll love you which is an advantage.

She is extremely passionate about what she does. She knows her stuff. She loses her temper and is short sometimes, but she quickly apologizes. She is very inclusive and makes sure everyone has a turn and gets their questions answered.

She is so funny and very nice. The subject is hard because it's all memorization, but she is fun to listen to and clarifies and actually tries to make everything as clear to the student as possible.

I'd always wanted to learn French, and she was the best in helping me do that! A constant encourager, hilarious prof in class, and really into her subject. She even let me direct class once when she had to be away for a conference! I really enjoyed learning from her and highly recommend her classes.

She really cares about you as a person, not just some student. She's very helpful and understands that languages are hard for some people. Plus, McGovern is hilarious and makes going to class 4 days a week not that bad.

Not only is she hilarious to be in class with, she's a good teacher as well. I've learned more french in two weeks than I could have with any other teacher, because she makes it fun and interesting. Highly reccomend her!

This woman is so funny! She makes classes into 50-minute chuckle-fests. Languages are tough, but she's approachable and really works with you to get you up to par. Two thumbs up.

I consider her to be one of my favorite professors ever. It's been 10 years for me as well, and I also remember lots of good lessons. She was always dedicated to giving extra help.

Great personality! French was very difficult for me to learn because I kept mixing it up with my Spanish, but she put me at ease. I was not afraid of making mistakes with her.
