Comment:
If you want to learn to speak any german do not take this course. He spent very little time teaching us the actual language and more time just doing exercises from the book.

Comment:
I cant say I learned as much German in the class as I would have liked too, but he is a very interesting guy. You wont be bored in class, but you dont get a lot of work done either. He explains things well, he just tends to get sidetracked. He's a riot though, very funny man.

He reminds me of Adam West. The guy is nuts, and makes class really interesting. Class can be hard because he's a little unorganized, but I did find myself understanding German by the end of the semester.

Comment:
Herr Taylor is actually a really GREAT professor. He knows his German language and culture because he lived and worked there for a few years. He tends to be unorganized, but I am definitely learning in his class. I don't know about his other classes, but he is a good German lang. prof., so don't get out of this class if you're in it - he's good.

I took him for Short Story and got an A, and although I worked hard and have a 4.0, I still found the class difficult. Only test was the final, and it was on stuff we didn't really go over that much. We wrote one 8-page paper which I wrote in one hour, with which he was very impressed...I don't anticipate many people taking this class though, haha!

Comment:
This class was tough. Herr Taylor has a good sense of humor, but has no structure to his class. Test's are hard and he does not review. He jumps through the text and is unclear on what he teaches and what he expects of his students--beware.

Comment:
Taylor likes computer enchancements. Has a deep love for German lang and culture. You will be on German web looking for sites. Takes a different approach. Make sure you are respectful, you try, and ask what you don't understand. This class isn't rocket science, you can pass.

Comment:
Finly tries to help as much as possible. He does meander but he teaches the practical knowledge you need for speaking coherantly with a German. His tests can be tough, but overall he grades easily. Don't take his class if you don't like participating, half of the class is presentation and groupwork.

Very nice. He tends to meander a bit in class, but is always ready and willing to help you. Sometimes he's a bit confusing, but I always made good grades on his tests.

Comment:
He's horrible! He's a nice man, and he seems to know his stuff, but he's so unorganized and doesn't know what he's planned to do half the time. If you don't know what you should have learned in beginning german, you're screwed.
