Comment:
Nice, funny, and a charming person... but she didn't really teach us any French! We talked about French culture/French speaking peoples in the US but we'd speak French as a class for 20 minutes and then she would say, "now that we got that out of the way, let's talk about Louisiana!" And, if you have trouble, she just accuses you of not studying.

She was a fantastic French teacher. Taking foreign language can sometimes seem scary because it's completely new material, but she made all the information very clear so taking her quizzes were a piece of cake!

absolutely loved her. i took her in french 1 and 2 and i feel like i learned a lot. she's such a sweetheart, but do not make her mad because she will yell. she loves music and dancing so if you have an interest in that you will also like this class.

Comment:
I do like her & I totally understand & agree that French culture is extremely important but we would spend 30 minutes speaking French and the other hour would be about culture. When I leave class, I don't have people to speak French with so I need all the conversation I can get in class in order to be able to retain any of it. It was frustrating.

Absolutely love her. Favorite teacher at Point Park. So helpful; including things outside of class. Also super passionate about her students and subjects. I had her for French and English. I adore her, she was an excellent teacher.

I absolutely love her. She teaches you so much more than just French; she teaches you about life. I wish I could take more of her, but I've already taken all I can.

Very passionate and diverse. She taught more than the language, but culture and history. She is kind unless she's rubbed the wrong way. Be on time. French is difficult, but she considers that and maintains patience. Homework is frequent but isn't rough at all. If you're serious about French, take her.

Classical Mythology for an elective. She was wonderful and passionate. Try to get as much work done before the middle of the semester. Things tend to get bunched up towards the end with her trying to cover EVERYTHING before the end of the semester.

She was one of the best English teacher's I've ever had. Makes you actually interested in what you're talking about (which doesn't happen very often in English classes). Pretty strict on attendance, but I actually wanted to go to the class! DEFINITELY take her!!

Comment:
I think she's terrible. I got tired of listening to her complain all class about modern society and culture. She became extremely defensive when anyone challenged her opinion. That class was so downright painful, I withdrew. She seems like the kind of prof. freshman admire for being so "free" and "exciting" but she forgets to actually teach English and stop being cynical.

Comment:
I took Classical Mythology as an independent study with Rebecca and she was incredibly accomodating and kind. Our discussions were always so interesting, and I felt she really cared about me as both a student and a person. The book and additional readings were also fascinating. She offers a lot of constructive criticism in her grading.
