Comment:
Mme Laniel is a sweet old lady. However, her sweetness gets compensated by the amout of work she gives. But if you do everything, you'll get a good grade even if your French isn't great. Attending class is mandatory.

She is a sweet lady, but terribly disorganized, and expects you to figure out what she wants. Also, her class is very high school-y. Switch if you can.

Comment:
She's a sweet old lady and I liked her a lot. She assigns a lot of homework and so it's easy to get behind, but she goes over everything in class. If she happens to check homework and sees you haven't done it... she can get a little scary. She makes the classes fun, although it feels a lot like a high school class at times.

Comment:
Good-natured, on the quiet side, a little nutty, kind of rambling. One hour-classes with her would be more pleasant; don't take Intensive with her like I did, because two hours is really, really long (no breaks, either). Assigns a lot of homework, doesn't really check up on how much of it you do. Tests are fair, compositions are meticulously graded

Comment:
Overall, a very nice professor. She makes herself very available to students who need extra help or who need to speak with her. She is pretty disorganized though - which was frustrating sometimes and there is a huge time comittment needed for this class - lots of extra homework, lab time and a mandatory tutoring session. So be prepared for that.

It's like high school again. The work is easy but useless. I like to learn efficiently, and this prof does not suite my learning style. The amount I learned in this class could've been efficiently covered in under a week, but she talks on and on forever... until you zone out. Bring coffee. Take the class pass/fail, or prepare for tons of busy work.

Though she can be fun, she's disorganized, unnecessarily pedantic when marking, and unclear about due dates and what is being assigned for homework. I would not recommend taking any classes with her unless you're very good at French.

She's a very helpful teacher, and if you work hard you'll do well. Sometimes she's a little disorganized with work, due dates, etc. Make sure you do your language lab work and stay on top of your class assignments.

She's a really sweet and caring prof and definately helps you understand the stuff that's confusing in the textbook. She tries hard to make the class interesting and puts helpful stuff up on webct. And of course there's a lot of work outside of class! What do you expect? We're not in elementry school! Most language classes are like that.

Denyse is a lovely, warm kind hearted prof. She is a genuinely wonderful person, but needs to have work teaching the course material without falling behind.

Comment:
The crazy amount of stuff she puts on WebCT freaked me out at first, but she is actually a really really nice prof. She does give out a lot of work, but if you need extentions, she's usually pretty nice about it. Honestly, my french improved so much from taking this class.

this class is what you make of it. genuinely kind-hearted prof; not very high expectations. She didn't glow with the spirit of the language, but she's still a decent prof. She knows a lot about language acquisition and that's reflected in her numerous repetitive exercises.

Comment:
her explainations in class are nearly useless. all the french i have learned has come from the crappy textbook we get and the exercises in the lang lab and on webct. the work (if you keep up) is very minimal, the class is easy, but her teaching has little to do with what you learn.

Denyse is a really nice prof. If you don't understand what she's teaching in class, it's because of your own incompetance in French. And don't complain about having to do stuff outside of class. Are you in third grade? The majority of learning in university takes place during your own time.
