Comment:

I would go in for help during her office hours and she was not willing to help. She is not a very nice lady. Class was hard. She gives a lot of quizes, projects,and tests. She makes you speak french in front of the class for at least 2-3 minutes.

Comment:

Test length averages five pages. Instead of teaching grammar, she focuses on the plots of irrelevant french films. Never grades objectively, organizes classwork, or plans the dates for tests. Doesn't listen to student complaints. Fall 2011, over 50% of her class dropped. Oh, and the head of foreign languages will do nothing to help you. Good luck.

Comment:

Terrible teacher. Most of the time, her lectures are irrelevant to the lessons scheduled for the day. Very inconsistent grader. If you want a good grade for her class, you should have prior knowledge with the language so you can teach yourself the material.

Comment:

Schrader is horrible at actually teaching material, she just layers it on top; making you teach yourself. Even though her class was fully review, I had a hard time keeping a B, due to her tests, ridiculous writing assignments, and grading.

Comment:

I did well in both of her intermediate grammar classes. She's a nice person, but not the best teacher. If you know your stuff, it won't be a problem and you'll get an A.

I agree with the person before me: teach yourself - Schrader certainly won't. She just piles on new material and doesn't seem to understand the concept of in-class reviewing.

Comment:

The material isn't difficult, she just does a terrible job of teaching, is disorganized, and grades hard (example: she's taken points off from my translations for using synonyms of words that she wanted.) I always did well in French throughout school and I'm getting killed in this class. If you want a good grade, memorize vocab and teach yourself.

worst professor i ever had. her lectures are inconsistent and grading methods questionable. if you value your gpa, then you will avoid her at all cost. i regret not dropping this class and wonder why after so many student complaints over the years, that she is still around. terrible!

My advice: DO NOT take her class. I have walked out in tears. She is frustrating and totally oblivious to her awful teaching methods. She has made me lose interest in French. Avoid avoid avoid her classes.

Jeezle petes this woman was horrid! I hated her class! She confused me more than she didn't! She gave my partner and I an A then lost the random piece of paper she wrote our grade on and then lost it and gave us a B. DON'T TAKE HER CLASS! YOUR GPA WILL SUFFER. Even adults say don't take it. Grades inconsistently ALL THE TIME!

Comment:

DO NOT take her class if you want to learn something. She'll only confuse/annoy you. She's been at OSU longer than most of us have been living and she's crazy as hell. The Schrade is the craziest teacher/person I've ever met in my life. She needs to be committed. I now have no interest in learning French.

This woman is a loon. Her fellow faculty members don't even stand behind her. Do not, I mean DO NOT take her class. You'll thank me later.

nothing more needs to be said - she's just a bad teacher plain and simple. Our substitute taught us more in 1 day than she has all year. Why the heck is she still teaching? This isn't what I pay OSU for...

Way too scatter brained to be a professor. She was really sweet, but not teacher quality.

She is retarded, pure and simple. Scatter brained is putting it mildly. I always wanted to learn French, but she is making me change my mind.

Comment:

Class was decently easy if you studied. She is very scatter brained and has a tough time explaining things to you. You will learn most of the stuff on your own. If you want to be prepared for the next class, don't take this one.

Comment:

I agree with all the aforementioned. Much of class time goes into her questioning her own corrections. The phrase, "Yes, that's correct, I know it's in the book, but I don't like the way it sounds, so don't use it" is also rather disturbing.

A total waste of time. Disorganized and unclear. I learned more from high school French. I hear she's awful with beginners because she expects them to already know what she is teaching.
