Instructor Rating for this class: 5.4

“The material was hard but you presented it really well and lessened the stress of having to learn so many very tenses! Thanks!”

“By far my favorite prof that I have had! Mlle Appleby not only clarified difficult material but she was always willing to help and work with me understanding the material. Thank you for a great year/semester”

“This course finally allowed me to understand why different grammar rules exist and how to use them. Jessica did a great job at teaching the material and encouraging interest.”

“I thought the scavenger hunt was a fun way to learn the vocab, and I enjoyed doing speaking exercises in class.”

“Teacher is fun, approachable, and very helpful. Good class.”

“This class was really good for leaning grammar, and you explained things really well. Maybe a suggestion would be to have more homework to turn in, just so we can see where we need improvement.”

“I really enjoyed the class and she was always available for extra help.”

“I really enjoyed this class and feel like I learned a lot this semester. I know my French has improved a lot from this class!”
