Brilliant and sweet. He made sure to check on everyone's progress. He genuinely care for his students. Unfortunately, just a few months ago, he passed away. He will be missed.

Comment:

Took this class online. I HIGHLY recommend if possible taking it in the classroom because the homework/journals were easy, however the exams were SO DIFFICULT. When I met him in his office, he was very helpful but very unforgiving. Definitely a time consuming course.

Comment:

Wonderful professor. Always patient, understanding of students, and has a true love of the French language. Never comes to class unprepared for discussion. Having planned the tests early, he knows how to help you succeed. There are over one hundred vocab words each test, so memorization is important. Come prepared to class or it will be pointless.

He was a very good teacher. Tries to be as clear as possible on his examples. Teaches out of the book but makes up his own examples. I thoroughly enjoyed taking his class. I felt like I learned a lot

One of the best french teachers I've had. He makes class fun, and is always prepared. Very knowledgable, and willing to help. Tests are easy if you make sure to attend class, and study vocabulary.

Great prof. The class is kind of hard but he will do anything to help you succeed. Teaches out of the book but also uses his own examples.

Comment:

He does not have control over his class. It is disturbing the "relationships" he has with young female students. Also, I took his class for French 1 and audited a french 2 course and I found out he did not teach well at all. It was basically like I never took French. One of his former students told me to take him only bc he may "pick" me 2 b a fav

Comment:

He seems to be really rusty on the material presented at times, this being by far his gravest fault, and speaks rather poor French for a prof. He's super easy, especially if you're female, but is too concerned with trynig to act 22...he doesn't prepare for class very well and is sort of unprofessional.

So far very helpful, he makes the class fun and entertaining. Attendance is mandatory, without it you'll fall behind and play catch up the rest of the semester. Take his class if given the chance.

He's a really good teacher. If you go to class and do the homework and you should do well. His tests aren't that hard, but they get harder as the semester goes on. If you study you should be able to get an A.

He is freaking awesome. The material can be tough at times and you learn a ton, but it never really feels like work. Makes me love french even more.
