Diane Alder
FLF201
"This is a wonderful woman, who made coming to an 8am class easy. She is very understanding, and makes the class entertaining. She doesn't allow anyone to get away with not participating. She makes sure the students do well in class giving them quizes in groups and excellent reviews. She encompasses french media and culture through music videos and movies to keep the class awake and learning."

Dr.Dawes
FLS 202
"Smart Guy...Not a difficult A. He is a decent planner but could improve....His tests aren't too bad and he is pretty fair in dishing out grades to hardworking students. However, if you aren't interested in spanish or french, you shouldn't take this professor because you will be required to try in order to pass the class."

Fall97 "He is wonderful! He is very entertaining. You get credit for everything you do. He expects you to work for you grade, but if you do then you are sure to do well. You can't help but learn because everything you do is worthwhile."
Spring 98 FLS 208 "My grade in the class was B.
The class is very interesting and he entertains a lot but he gives a lot of work outside class. He considers that you take only his class during the semester."

Easily the best explanations of grammar I've ever had in any language. He moves quickly and demands independence outside of class, but if you can keep up, you will reap great rewards."

"Ms. Navey-Davis is one of the best spanish teachers I have ever had. She can make things easy to understand and gives ample opportunities to keep your grade where you want it. Very good..."
Spring 98 "My grade in the class was A.
Her courses are excellent. She explains very well in class the grammar and she uses all sort of things to help student understand and learn in class. She really prepared me well for the next spanish courses. If you plan on getting a minor then she is the one to select and you won't regret it."

Rollins
Fall97 "French lady, very nice...expects you to speak during class...fairly easy expectations...very willing to help... one of the teachers you should expect to get to know.."
Spring, 1999. I give this teacher a 4 out of 4, my grade in the class was A.
"Please take this teacher. She's incredibly nice and very excited about teaching. Expects you to talk in class, but makes this more of a joy than a pain. Tests are pretty easy, but make sure you know your vocab and grammer. There's very little writing, as the class is based mostly on conversation. Homework is usually just reading and practicing pronounciation. Please take her."

Shin Watanabe
FLJ 101 (Japanese)
Fall97"Brand new on the scene here, I'm in his first-ever FLJ 101 class, and he gets high marks across the board. Lectures are fun, more handouts than you can shake a stick at, enough material to maintain interest but not enough to overwhelm. Tests are graded fairly and represent what was taught. In 2nd place, behind a tie, for best prof I've had so far here."

"He's the best teacher in the foreign language dept. Funny, yet serious and his tests are fair. He adds alot of positive atmosphere to learning. The best part is that he has an English accent and it's funny when he combines it with Spanish. He's the bomb!!"
