Comment:

You are allowed 4-6 absences per semester depending on what schedule you have. He has a good personality and is more than willing to work with you. Someone earlier said his grading is arbitrary, which is true. But if you participate and do well with accents and past tense, he'll appreciate it and you'll do fine.

Comment:

Ayech was a great prof. Like the others said, he does well with lower-level people who don't remember much from high school french. I could remember hardly anything but ended up doing well in the class. The only thing critical I could say is sometimes grading seemed a little arbitrary. But I would def take him again if I could.

Ayech is really funny!! He never expected a lot out of us. Def take him if you don't remember much of your French and have no idea how you placed into 121. Great guy who prefers working with the lower level French students!

Comment:

I thought he was an okay teacher that assigns a good bit of work. If you just turn everything in on time and do all of the work it is pretty easy class. The quizes are very hard but he curves them. There is no final exam either, just a final portfolio.

Very good instructor!! He's been extremely helpful and understanding. If you do your homework and attend class regularly, you can easily do all the major quizzes. So far, I've not received a grade below 92 (except for the listening quizzes, which can be challenging). I strongly recommend him to anyone who likes serious and fun courses.

Comment:

Mr. Mahfoudi is an outstanding teacher who has a great command of the French language. I've been doing my homework on a regular basis, and my grades are straight A's. Students with poor working habits or a low interest in French will obviously complain, AS USUAL about any teacher or rather subject they don't like. I encourage you to take him!!!

Easy but some of the test questions come out of nowhere and he gets flustered easily. He also can be real lienient at times and then kinda mean.

Comment:

His accent is hard to understand a lot of the time. Very little homework. You work in Pairs every class. He is very sweet and willing to help you if you need it. I was terrible and he passed me with a B. Take him- you will be glad you did. He lets you correct your test and turn them in to be re graded. He was great.

He's friendly and always willing to clarify something. His English is not always crystal clear, but he presents the material in just the right order so if you're taking notes you'll always be prepared. This is the best French teacher for the beginning classes, don't miss him!

This is the best teacher of French I've ever had. He explains every grammatical point or cultural information in detail, and is very patient with students. Many of my classmates didn't work hard at home or in class. That's why they complain!!

Half the time couldn't understand what he said. Gets frustrated if you ask too many questions, no fun at all. Hated going to class, but fairly easy A.
