Above all, she is fair. I loved that if the student was willing to put in the effort, she was willing to work with you. The assignments were reasonable and I really got the feeling that she cares for her students and wants to see them succeed. I really hope I get the opportunity to take a class with her again.

Really enjoyed working with Professor Twark. She is very lively in her lectures, and goes over material that will be on tests and quizzes well. Don't be afraid to visit her during office hours if you have any questions. She loves to talk. Make sure you participate in class, don't be afraid to speak your mind.

She makes the class fun and is really nice and funny! Occasionally she will show a video. The class isn't too hard as long as you do all the assignments and participate in class. The tests aren't too hard. They are fill in the blank mostly and pretty simple. If you ask for help, she will give it to you. Overall, she is a great professor!

Dr. Twark is great. She will help you one on one or help you get a tutor or study group. Studying is essential, but she helps you understand what you get wrong and gives study tips.

Dr. Twark is very outgoing and extremely knowledgeable in all things German. She's very straight forward, so if you're failing, she will tell it to you like it is. She also offers tons of ways to get your grades up. If you're doing well, she will also congratulate you. She really motivates you to do well!

Dr. Twark is so awesome! She is the reason I decided to take German at ECU. She is always willing to help. Her class is hard. You have to study if you want to pass. She can be a little forward, so if you get your feelings hurt easy, don't take her class. She is a very honest woman. If she sees that you care, she will help you out.

Twark is a great teacher. She is extremely attentive and will help you if you show initiative. If you act like you could care less, you will not do well. You definitely need to make an effort in her class. Definitely the best German professor at Ecu!

Always wanting to help you. The whole class was a discussion of people always bouncing off of each other's ideas. She is obsessed with Holocaust studies so she is always fascinated with her students' reactions to the texts, facts, etc. Loved this class, would definitely recommend!

It was truly a pleasure attending Dr. Twark's class. She made the topics very interesting and easy to comprehend. Perhaps her greatest asset is that she is always willing to help. Many a time she met me after school or allowed me to contact her on a weekend so she could advise me on assignments and other academic issues. She's truly the best!

I didnt take this class expecting much and as it turns out I set my expectations too high. Her teaching was all over the place and shes not at all nice even when you are seeking help. ECU needs to find someone new.

Dr. Twark can be an intimidating lady because she asks a lot out of her students, and while at times i wanted to throw a fit out of frusteration, she taught me soo much about the Holocaust. Read the texts, go all out on the papers and study like a maniac because she only has tests a few quizzes and two papers. I recommend her strongly

Professor Twark is a very nice professor but she has very high expectations. Going to class is a must and you're constantly doing online activities or writing essays. The tests aren't too bad but the class does require a good amount of work to be put in.

TWARK IS AWESOME!!! I loved taking her Holocaust class. I learned so much and my writing has improved by 100%. It's a lot of work and you MUST read the text. However, if you do the homework, show up to class and ask for help when you need it you will do well. I'm a German major and she is awesome at teaching both English and German.

DO NOT TAKE HER FOR FORL 2600. This class was supposed to be a humanities credit and she made it feel like a senior level course. She made me want to go kill someone. Extremely inconsiderate. ENG professors gave me 100's on papers and she made me re-write them. She's impossible to please. I got a B in this class but I would NEVER take her again

Don't let her intimidate you, Dr. Twark is really very nice. She does assign quite a bit of work, but she is an enthusiastic professor who will go out of her way to help you. She's also pretty cool about turning stuff in late if you need an extension, just try to let her know ahead of time. I have more classes with her than I can count!!!

She expects a lot out of you, so put forth your best efforts. The workload is somewhat heavy (expected - it's an Honors class), but not impossible to deal with. She's understanding if you hand in a paper a little late once in awhile, but don't slack off. Show up to class, write your essays and participate in discussions, and you'll do fine.

She expects homework everyday and gives lots of quizes, but how else could you learn German? Just be prepared to no speak much English while in class.
