Comment:
Gillette is a really good professor and an interesting person, but her classes are extremely vocab heavy and she often doesn't clearly outline what she expects of you. Grade-wise, it is fine, but just a lot of busy work and a never ending supply of new words to learn and small tasks to do.

If you speak up during class and participate, you'll get a good grade. Overall she's a great professor, and she does a good job explaining the grammar concepts.

Mme Gillette is a great French teacher. She treats her students like adults, but still wants to help them succeed. She's a fair grader and paying attention in class gives you everything you need to know to succeed. Definitely recommend her!

She is a phenomenal teacher and encourages her students to discuss everything from grammar, to the books read in class, to the movies watched or just French life and culture (like how to deal with forward French men). She's amazing and definitely my favourite professor at Tufts so far!

Marie Gillette is pretty much the nicest lady ever. She really cares about how well her students do, and she is always available for help. She is a strict but fair grader, and if you study, you should easily get a good grade. Plus, she has an awesome Parisian accent! :)

Gillette's a very clear and helpful teacher. She speaks very clearly. The class is pretty easy, except that I find it hard to participate enough.

Comment:
Mme Gillette is everything a french teacher should be. She is always in a good mood, makes weird facial expressions, and encourages the class to speak in class. She is very forgiving about work, and is a pretty fair grader. The only things I could ever complain about are that she is usually a few minutes late, and doesn't emphasize vocab enough.

Gillette is such a nice teacher and explains things well. She loves participation, so make sure to speak up. It was a good pace for me, but for more ambitious french learners, her class may not be challenging enough.

Mme Gillette est une merveilleuse professeure. She's very enthusiastic, warm, and motivated-- I really got the sense that she cares about her teaching and you as a student. She's French, so has a great accent, but she is still really clear about explaining grammar to language-learners. I would definitely recommend taking her class!

Comment:
Mme Gillette is by far the best French professor I've had at Tufts. I think one of the best aspects of hte class was that she is FRENCH so it was great to learn how they really speak in Paris. She uses the book a lot, so be sure to do your homework...but a lot of the time she lets students ask whatever questions they want if they don't understand..

It's amazing to learn French from an actual French person. She uses the book a lot, but she explains everything clearly, and is extremely fair.

Great professor, helpful, warm and very friendly. easy to talk to, always willing to see you or help out, i really enjoyed french class. tests are quite hard though, you need to know everything, and you need to be prepared for classes by reading over the material and knowing it very well.

I agree that she is extremely nice and cares about the students, but I found that the course clarity isn't so good. I find that she grades a little too harsh on orals for elementary french I.

She's a very gifted teacher and super knowledgable of language. Orals do count a lot, but she actually wants you to speak French rather than just write it.
