Doesn't know what she is doing. Horrible teacher. Would not recommend her to anyone. Not nice. She doesn't know how to help when you need help. I'm very good at french and she told me i was horrible. Should retire! Hated coming to her class. She's a witch. Not helpful! Horrible Professor. Very Hard Professor.

Uh..she does not have great a great personality. I found it funny that when there were real French people, she wouldn't speak French with them! I HATED her classes. I felt like we were in HS again and not in college.

Comment:
Needed a for. lang. for my degree decided french sounded interesting, after the semester changed to spanish because of teacher. She has no patience. If you are struggling & she knows it then she will always call on you to answer (the hard questions!) she gives the easy questions to the students who are doing well. Do not take her

Comment:
Total witch! When you ask a question, or are confused, she gets upset. She lacks all people skills, openly admitted to being a wine-o, and is a jerk if you have to miss class for any reason. Also doesn't pronounce the number 4 correctly. I love french, but dreaded going to class. She ruined the whole experience for me, and I still got an A.

If you are like me and want to be taught by your teacher do NOT take Ind. French. I am fluent in French, therefore, I need to be challeged by the Prof which Mme. Herkstroeter hasn't done so far. SHE IS a very loveable person, her teaching style just isn't condusive to my learning style.

If you have any background with the language you are learning, she is pretty easy. She's not very helpful, she doesn't really explain things. She gets mad if you don't have an answer to her questions.

HORRIBLE! Was going to take many MFL classes but changed my mind when found out she would be teaching most of my german ones. Snippy and unsympathetic. I graduated with honors, so i'm no sluff off student, and this was the worst class I took all four years!

Very hard. Do not take her classes as individualized study unless you already know the language. You don't get any actual instruction in the individualized study classes and have to figure it all out on your own from the book. It's basically like not having a teacher at all, just someone who grades you on how well you teach yourself.

Dr. Herkstroeter is misunderstood. She's very good at what she does, but it's her people skills that are lacking. She's fair, and is always willing to help. Keep up with your studies and all will be well...she hates having to go over something twice. Enjoy!

She is a terrible professor. Literature class is a class where everyone is supposed to input their own views on what they have read. With her, she feels her take from the readings is the only way and won't listen to anyone else's view. Don't take her.

Her class is very boring. She grades very difficult on her papers. She will not have the class ready at all for exams. The class is all about the history of the French and not at all about literature.

She is a terrible teacher. Thinks she is a full blooded German. Labs are BORING. She doesn't know how to explain things, and then when she loses you, and keeps going, and you are screwed. She picks favorites. Yuck. Everyone I talk to calls her satan!

Great Class! She is very helpful. Independent Study is great because she tells you what you have to do and it is up to you to learn and she is there for help.
