Comment:

I had an awful time in his class. I have some social anxiety and talking in front of the class gets me extremely worked up and stressed. He made everyone go to the board and answer questions out loud (not voluntarily) every single class. It got to be too overwhelming and I stopped showing up and dropped out. I love german but it wasnt for me

Mr. Monk is really chill. He's very laid-back and attendance is not mandatory. You have two exams that are pretty easy. He gives you a review sheet and tells you what's going to be on the exam. The other two grades are: Map Quiz (easy) and Power Point (easy). So you can earn an easy A if put a little effort into this class. Easy class overall.

Monk is so funny. I never show up to class.. or do any of the reading assignments and i still got an A on the midterm. he goes over what is going to be on a test weeks before he gives it to you. There isn't really any homework and there are no real deadlines for projects. Take German Culture!
