She's very nice and very understanding but sort of confusing at times. For example she'll set a 2-page paper and give you several weeks to do it but then assign some overnight "easy" homework that ends up being far more work than the paper. WAHNSINN!

If you are interested in taking German, take it with professor Jakeway. She is very understanding and goes out of her way to help students. Class is always interesting, especially when she talks/jokes about German culture, cars, and Oktoberfest. To really learn you must actively participate in class and study outside of class. 10/10

I love this class, I took her summer class online and it was easy. Things move quickly but there aren't that many assignments per week. We had 3 PowerPoints that required 20-25 slides, it sounds easy, but sometimes finding enough material for the slides can be a bit difficult. It was online so no teaching but pretty easy to figure out yourself.
