Mme. Bargach is AMAZING! She is very open minded, always willing to help, passionate about the material she teaches and incredibly resourceful. She does have fairly high standards though. She has taught in France, so it is a very authentic experience to take her class.

One of the best professors at the University of Virginia. Period. And one of the most intelligent, compassionate human beings anywhere. Take her class, go to Morocco with her, get to know her in any way you can -- you won't regret it.

One of the best French teachers I have had. Extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. It was a complete joy to go to class every day. As long as you have a solid understanding of French, you will be fine!

Comment:

If you already have quite a bit of knowledge in French, this class can be very interesting and you'll learn alot. Otherwise, like me who only started learning french in college, this class can be a torture... be ready to do dense readings. On the bright side though, her french is absolutely beautiful and after all I got B so it was ok.

I LOVE BARGACH! She is a wonderful teacher! Class was not very hard - and the end of term exam is an essay. It's helpful if you like speaking french, since the class is small. Expect to re-correct your essays and read at times boring stuff! But overall she's AMAZING!

I am obsessed! She is so knowledgable since she grew up in Maroc and France and has so many interesting stories to tell! Her accent is beautiful and it's fascinating to listen to her opinions and experiences. She is genuinely kind and interested in the lives of her students and is willing to work with you if you need help. Highly recommended!

One of the best teachers in the French Department. I would reccomend you take any class you possibly can with her. She's tough, but you are garanteed to have a positive experience if you put in the work. Doesn't have a degree in French because she's Moroccan and grew up speaking french. Masters of Political Science though

Very good lecturer and engaging speaker. One of my fave French professors. Quite a bit of writing, but that's the name of the course! Use her office hours to get help on papers. Definitely helped develop my writing skills. Overall, a worthwhile course.

Comment:

mme bargach was so awesome- i've taken two classes with her at this point - also 332 - and she has continued to be one of the nicest, most genuinely warm professors i've ever had. she was definitely always prepared for class, and though we'd get a little sidetracked, we learned even when we weren't taking the material straight from the textbook.

Comment:

Definitely knows her stuff about French literature. However, this makes her a pretty hard grader, though maybe some may say "fair." She is also not very good at explaining the texts. Be prepared to be intimidated in class when she speaks to you in extremely rapid French and expects you to do the same.

Worst instructor I have ever taken - it seems like she is making up the material as she goes along. She does not even have a degree in French. Take a real professor, not some lecturer

She is a great teacher, and loves it when students come to her office hours. She makes the readings very interesting, and is a fair (as in not easy) grader. She doesnt assign too much work (though I think we wrote longer papers than other 332 classes). I will probably take another class with her, as she is truly a great prof.

She is absolutely charming, very open and friendly, immensely knowledgeable and considerate. The material is mostly excellent, and the workload is just about perfect.
