Comment:
She's pretty disorganized, and not at all clear about grading BUT French profs are notorious for being that way, take her instead of Adda that's all I've gotta say. You need to do a 5m presentation. Also, any French class taken at VIU covers the same content and uses the same textbook as the others at that level. Oh, and it's graded on a curve.

Comment:
Hope is the only teacher available for upper level French courses at VIU. Its very frustrating as she is very unorganized and never hands assignments back on time or take detailed notes during lectures. I am in the mandatory self directed course to receive a minor in French and have had zero contact with her throughout the semester. Not worth $400.

Comment:
Unlike most profs, she makes sure her students understand, which I appreciate, though sometimes that means we accomplish very little over the semester and advanced students get bored. She has neat knowledge into etymology, but the faster she speaks, the more Anglophone her accent becomes. I also wish she'd show up for her office hours more often.

Hope has a kind, bubbly personality- love her! Classes are enjoyable because she actually cares about what she's teaching and thus the class feels energetic. I wish Hope would leave things on the board longer (she erases like 2 secs after putting things up, so be quick ppl!), also it'd be nice if she would hand out or write up organized notes.

Hope is a great teacher. She always gives background info and interesting tidbits on the french we are learning. She is flexible and understanding w/ assignments, and wants you to pass! If you go to class and do the assignments you will get a good grade - no matter your french speaking/writing level. Fav teacher of the french program.

Hope is one of the most understanding and fairest teachers I know. She makes class fun and notices when your participating. She is always at the campus, and always willing to give help during class or in her office. For anyone who`s new at VIU and not sure which teachers to take-Hope is a safe bet to succeed!

Comment:
Hope..wants to make sure no one fails which is great :) But at times I found it hard to learn from her because she doesn't really give any notes just kind of writes down random words on the board...you don't get much practice personally...and found I did really improve that much verbally or on the written aspect of things either

There is no FRCH 211 to the last person. Hope is a nice lady but very lazy, which reflects in her classes as she makes them too easy. You don't learn much unless you teach yourself. She doesn't mark and return assignments unless requested and gives no feedback.

took french 301 & 211. She keeps the class awake for a 3 hour class on a Friday. She must be doing something right! I've done a lot of French and she's one of the best. Really laid back, she thinks effort is what you should be marked on, not perfection.

Hope is a wonderful lady. She has very easy assignments and doesn't care about a set due date (which is a little annoying for students who get their work done on time) She makes the most awesome cream cheese brownies for the last class of the semester and tries to mix things up. She is a little scattered, which can throw people off, but good

Hope is like a breath of fresh air....extremely interesting! Her zest for life shows in her teaching style. It's always a surprise when class is over...so fun that it goes by all too quickly! Nice mix of fun & learning. Do your homework regularly, show up regularly, & you'll be marked fairly.

needs to take more time to teach the material, we need more practice not just telling us what we can see in the textbook by ourselves

Had to miss a lot of class, Hope help me out by letting me write the tests when I could and working with me as much as possible. Easy to talk to and grades on a bell curve.
