Barbara is an amazing professor! She's very kind and accommodating and goes out of her way to help her students in any way she can. She's a fair grader and there is a fair amount of assessments in this course to allow for a great mark. Highly recommend!

We had her online last semester during the summer and she was worried about having classes online given the current situation. She is super engaging and gives you very clear expectations and detailed feedback. I improved so much. She might have several classes on the go but she makes each student feel very valued and always took time to teach.

She was an absolutely amazing prof! Cares about her students and wants them to do well. She does call on students to answer questions sometimes throughout the lecture to make sure they are keeping up/understanding, but I did not find it intimidating at all. 10/10 would take again!

Very sweet and caring. Doesn't give a heavy workload. The entire class is participation based (going over examples in the book and she asks you to answer aloud) but she doesn't mind if you say no. Gives good feedback on tests and compositions. The interview was super easy. I would definitely take a course with her again!

Barbara is such a nice lady and a great prof. Shes clearly passionate about French and its really helpful in keeping lectures interesting. French 2601 (grammar & reading) was 2 shortish novels and a little bit of grammar, and I mean a little bit. If you go to class and know the stories, easy A!!! Take this prof if you have the chance!

I loved every class with Dr. Thistle. She makes you feel comfortable answering questions in her class and is a very fair grader. I was super nervous going into my oral interview but she made me feel very comfortable, like there was no pressure at all. 100% recommend taking her class if possible.

Barbara is such a kind and respected lady and she is very clear with everything that she teaches. It was such a relief to have her as a prof for my first semester, honestly I would recommend her to anybody. If you don't understand something in French she has no problem explaining it in English. Seriously, take her class you won't regret it!!

One of the best professors I've taken class with at MUN! Her teachings are very, very clear and easy to understand! She doesn't need to repeat twice for you to understand, it just goes straight to your memory! She is very caring and helpful if you need assistance on this course! I am really looking forward to take the next level course with her!

Dr. Thistle is fantastic! She is so caring towards her students. As long as you have some background in French it is fairly easy. You should definitely go to class though as she gives lots of examples and suggestions. I am taking her again for 2601.

Barbara is amazing. I've completed half my minor just with her. She is very caring and fair. I would take any class she taught because I know that she will teach it perfectly. The last book we read was really dry and boring - but she didn't pick the books (as another prof was supposed to teach the course but left)
