Saskia is absurdly nice and really cares if you learn the material. I went into that class feeling so apathetic, but she really forces you to care, which is awesome. Very clear and will go out of her way to help you. Grades are easy if you do your homework and show up to class. Lots of flexibility in topics, material, due dates, exams, etc.

Comment:
Saskia is a master at inspiring genuine interest in German and the language skills of her students -- all with a light touch. She presents material clearly and creates a welcoming environment in which to make mistakes and learn from them. Prior to taking her class, I was about to drop German. Instead, I went on to full proficiency within 2 years.

Saskia is ridiculously nice. The class gives you as much as you put in. Her in-class lectures can get repetitive, but she's great one-on-one and really loves the language. But she's honestly one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet. Very understanding as well.

Saskia is the best! She is genuinely concerned with how everyone feels about the class, and very willing to guide you if you need help. She is so sweet and tries to make sure she's not overwhelming us. The difficulty of the class depends a great deal on your experience level with German, and is a lot of presentingwritinggrammar

Saskia is actually the greatest. She is incredibly helpful and forgiving with late work. Her exams are very fair and if you do the work, you'll be plenty prepared for them. Great class!

Comment:
Frau Stoessel is for sure the best foreign language teacher I've had at Tufts! She really cares about her students and wants you to get to know the German culture. The course was well structured althought the oral presentations were a little tedious. But her presence in class made everything better!

Saskia is the best! She is very clear, very helpful, and always available. She cares about your improvement and seems to take a personal interest in all her students. Additionally, all deadlines are soft, which is amazing when you have 3 tests in a week and no time to write a German essay by Friday.

She's very nice but tends to baby and spoonfeed her students. It's very annoying. She doesn't really want you to learn just wants to take care of you. Has clarity because she is so simplistic.

Saskia is great -- so classy, so friendly, so helpful. Very easy to get ahold of outside of class. Really cares about her students. Definitely not intimidating at all, she's really sweet and makes class very pleasant.

Saskia is one of the nicest, most helpful, and most engaging professors I've had yet. Although the daily homework can get annoying, it definitely helps with your german and prepares you for her tests. If you have a choice between german professors, choose Saskia.
