Comment:

Honestly, Professor Harder was one of the best teachers I had this semester. She's a very nice, helpful woman. If you are having any trouble she'll gladly have a sit-down talk with you and answer all your questions. You just need to show a little effort and actually care and attend classes to get a good grade.

Comment:

Professor Harder gets a mixed reputation, but the truth is that she responds strongly to students who show interest or enthusiasm for the subject. What she can't stand is students who grub for their grade or have a bad attitude towards the class. She puts a lot of effort into her class and appreciates those who appreciate her. I think she's great.

Comment:

She was a great professor, in my opinion. The best I had of the semester, I don't see why people say she's mean- I think she's great. In fact, i would recommend her courses in a second. She's fun and very human, willing to help you, and just overall a good person.

She is a very sweet woman and has helped me tremendously with my French. I'm not sure what other people are saying about her being mean or not a good teacher, because I just don't see it.

Comment:

despite the fact that she is cool simply for having a**** star name, i got very very little out of her class...she's a tough grader, and not very enthused about what she's teaching...maybe she needs to teach more upper level french classes

Comment:

She was a horrible grader and did not explain her grades. She was mean and had grudges against student. Also she had her favorite students who she would always give A's to. She was overall a horrrible professor.

This class was awful! She is very strict, gives too much work, and grades unnecessarily hard for a USEM. She is very intimidating and a generally unpleasant person.

She is great- very helpful and enthusiastic! Just because she tries to get the class involved does not mean that she is a bad teacher. Weren't you in the class to *practice and learn French*??

I love Prof. Harder! I don't what these other people are talking about. She was always available for me, and if the class didn't understand something, she would say the whole thing over in English. Honestly, what other Prof says Groovy on a regular basis&

She's the least helpful professor I had in four years. If you don't already know French, don't bother with her...
