Take this class with Professor James! She is one of the nicest people I've met and she really wants you to succeed. This is a class that is basically just focused on grammar so it is not the most interesting, but take it with Karen if you want to be enjoyable. She is so nice and connects the grammar to modern events with songs and pictures. I wouldn't just take this course for fun, there is a decent amount of work. But if you have to take it, take it with professor James. The course has 4 written assignments, 3 with first drafts, 7 online quizzes, but they're open note and you drop the bottom grade, and a take home final!

Awesome, really loved Mme James. She is very understanding and just wants to see you succeed. Sad covid hit before I could get closer to her, go to her office hours or just shoot her an email. Very nice and explains concepts very easily! She loves people who participate in class too (whether you are good or not, she just likes the effort). Easy A for sure, A-/B+ if you dont try

I had Professor James in FRTR 2580 (which is a great class on it's own, high recommend) and really liked this class with her! There are weekly journal assignments that you have to submit, three writing assignments, and an ePortfolio to maintain. I got pretty behind in the journal responses, but she was super understanding which I really appreciated. We go over some of the same grammar that I learned in 2020 but it was good practice. Daily homework assignments help with the grammar, too. The class is taught in French and it was really cool to see my writing and speaking skills improve as the semester progressed. Professor James is really passionate about French and wants to help you learn. Definitely recommend taking FREN 3031 with her.
