Comment:
I honestly felt that I learned more in Professor Demaris' class than I did through all of my high school German classes. She was very considerate of students' varying skill levels and was not opposed to going back and doing thorough reviews if needed. It's a lot of work, but I noticed vast improvement in my German by the end of the semester.

Comment:
Her grading is biased, and she can be openly critical of students. Her German grammar is not very good. She does pick very interesting texts for reading and discussion, and she devotes a good amount of class time to discussion of the readings. It would be nice if students could share more of their own opinions of the ideas in the readings.

I've had Professor DeMaris for two German classes thus far, and am having her again this year. She is a very kind professor, and is very willing to help when saught out. I usually enjoy her classes.

Comment:
Dr. DeMaris is intelligent. She knows it. Sometimes I wonder if she thinks anyone else is, either. I've learned more from her in lecture-style courses than in this course, which is more subjective. I think she prefers to read texts in one way and is not entirely open to new interpretations, frustrating when the student writes to write a thesis.

Not an easy teacher, but the best of the german profs. She's willing to help if you seek her out, and is quite funny. She does have have a tendency to grade a bit subjectively, however.

She definitly is a hard grader, but fair. She is a great professor if you are looking to be challenged, but if you're looking for an easy grade she's not for you. She will give help anytime you need it though, so if you don't understand something, ask!

She sets up a concept in her mind of who she thinks are good students and bad students. Then, on her highly subjective short answer-essay tests she grades extremely prejudicially.
