This teacher is the best teacher I have ever had.
This is one of the best teachers that I have ever had. She is extremely helpful and is quick to reward hard work! She inspired me to continue French into the second level!!! I LUV, YA Bateman!
By far my favorite college professor!
She was very animated. She helped a lot and is just wonderful, gives lots of extra credit for students who have been getting bad grades. Loved madame Bateman.
Excellent professor, highly recommend taking her classes!
She makes class fun. Very helpful and does her best to make sure that everyone gets it. I plan on taking her french 1002 class!
Loved Mme.Bateman's class! She actually wants students to do well and to be able to learn the language. Highly recommend!
Really sweet and dedicated woman. Makes the classes enjoyable and light. Truly passionate about her job and it shows, which is refreshing. Just study and don't fall behind and this will be an easy & enjoyable language class.
most awesome teacher I ever had!!! She is very nice and helpful and gets you through French,even if you never heard a word of French before. GREAT TEACHER!!!! I definitely recommend her.
She's the best.Her classes are lots of fun and at the same time you learn a lot.I highly recommend her!
very helpful if you're having difficulties
Very dedicated teacher, takes a great interest in her students and has a genuine desire to see us all succeed. It's instructors like Mme. Bateman who really make this school.

I LOVE MME BATEMAN! This is my 4th semester with her. I refuse to take anyone else. She is the most dedicated teacher I have ever had and loves her students. Class is always interesting and fun. Wish there were more classes that I could take with her but I'm at the end of the road!
Madame Bateman is an excellent professor. Her teaching style is a prime example of how a foreign language should be taught. I felt as though I was studying in Montreal again. Some of her assignments can be challenging, but she makes them fun.Your able to explore your own indiviuality and creativity.
Madame Bateman is a really talented instructor. She actively addresses the need of all students and does a great job of making every lesson interesting and relative to our needs as students..
She is an amazing woman and the best teacher I've ever had so far in my college career. She makes learning French exciting and challenging at the same time. I've never had so much fun in a class as I did in hers. Please take her courses if you get a chance!!!!
I took two French classes with Ms. Bateman, and she's a great teacher. I had so much fun, and I learned a lot. she's always happy and make you confortable in her classes. She's the best!
Great teacher she is always happy and makes you look forward to her class
Ms.Bateman is a wonderful teacher. Learning French with Her is easy, fun, and entertaining. She is SIMPLY THE BEST!
I LOVE HER! She is the best forign language teacher I've ever had in my entire academic career. She makes learning a language fun, interesting, and entertaining - she also is a blast, and always extremely helpful if you need extra help in the class. I still keep in contact with her, she loves hearing from all her former students.
love her!
She makes studying french and participating in class fun. If you do your work you are going to be just fine. Miss Bateman is coooool!!!!
She is a really funny professor who makes class work fun and easy. Take french with her, you will pass with a good grade.
one word: PERFECT!
Ms. Bateman is a dahling. She is so sweet and funny. This class was very fun.
Her class is FUN! She is so dedicated to teach and to help students with French. She is just simply wonderful!
Madame Bateman is my Heroe, Je l'aime!!!! Vivent Madame Bateman!
A great class, very entertaining and interactive. She is very helpfull and an excelent teacher. I really learned french and I got A in both classes I took with her. I had a great time!
Funny and entertaining. but too many worksheets and not enough conversation. can't remember much french and took the class a year ago.
I was a bit perplexed by this prof. Takes a long time to return emails. Not very interactive with online students. Slow in getting materials loaded on website. Maybe best to take her in class as opposed to online. Not a very good experience for me.
she is the best french teacher you will EVER have. shes absolutely crazy and, although she can quite well, doesn't speak a lot of english but the class is SUPER easy. if your going to take french, you might as well take it with her
I LOVE HER! she makes learning french so much fun. I have taken her for all my french classes. Her tests are easy if you study. She brings actual material to teach the vocab words. She plays lots of fun learning games. TAKE HER
She is so cool. She makes the class fun, and she grades everything so easy. She has party in her class sometimes. If you make 95 or higher, you don't have to take the final. How cool it that?
Ms. Bateman, is a very fair teacher.She makes class very interesting and uses different ways of teaching so that no matter how you learn best shes got you covered. When I took this class I took it because I had to, now I love French and want to learn to speak as my second language. Take Ms. B you will be glad you did.
I think it is not easy but she makes it seem easy because it is not boring and she explains things well. You can learn a lot if you study and practice!
She is a very interesting teacher full of energy, even in the morning when all are half asleep. Her test are not hard if you study. The only thing is that she will ocassionally give pop quizzes and if you came late and missed it, you cant do them, apart from that she is a BLAST and so fun a little flirty but I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER! You really learn
She is energetic, very fun, you will definitely have a lot of fun in her class!!!
Loved this class! Prof. Bateman was awesome. Always happy, always entertaining! There is no way you could fall asleep from boredom in this class she's just too much fun! I definitely recommend it!
She is very funny, and she helps you on the test sometimes. She is a great teacher, and she gives out snack at the end of the term. Her works are very easy. I love her class.
She is a great teacher!!!! I live in Decatur and she teaches in Dunwoody, but I am willing to come all the way to dunwoody for her class! I wouldnt do it if I didnt love this class
Madam Bateman, Is an awesome teacher. I did not even like french until I took her class. Now I love the language and the french culture. I would not take any other teacher for french.
Ms. Bateman is really a sweet woman. I am not a fan of French but the class is cake. My pronunciation is HORRID and I made a B. She can come off as a bit scatter-brained, but I am as well. Always willing to help you and you can tell she is in love with French culture. Would recommend to anyone.
This is the professor you want to teach you French. It is probably as close to learning the language in France as you'll get. She has so many online links that a person would absolutely have to NOT try to learn French, in order to fail this class. She is the best of the best!!! I love her!!
Took her online class and she is GREAT! Very nice lady, and really wants to make sure you learn as much as you can, she's not hard at all, pretty easy class and by the end of the semeser you will know a lot if you practice it. I recommend her 100% anyone interested in french shoud def. take her as an instructor
This is 1 class I actually looked forward too. Ms. Bateman is fun, energetic, and she keeps things interesting. You should always go to class because she has a lot of pop quizzes. Her tests are a little tough sometimes but not too bad if you study. She's great. If you are deciding between two different professors, go with her, you won't regret it.
Madame Bateman is a very nice teacher. She is always willing to help when you ask her a question. She has a lot of fun class activities that will help you in learning. Her tests are easy if you study. I would definately recommend taking her.
Madame Bateman is a really nice professor. Show up and try and you will do fine. We do alot of fun in class practice and role playing so be prepared to be called on. Don't forget to do ALL the workbook and the extra credit...it rocketed my grade up to an A.
She is AMAZING!!!!!...She is the best French teacher i have ever taken!!..She is really helpful and wants you to pass the class!!..There are extra credits so there is no reason you shouldn't pass the class!!!...She is soo nice!!!...TAKE HER!!!...
BEST FRENCH PROFESSOR. EVER.
I LOVE Mrs. Bateman!!! she was so helpful, I was a complete IDIOT when it came to speaking french, and the only language I ever knew fluently was english and now I can write paragraphs in french!!! You wont regret taking her, she is WONDERFULL!!!!!!
Madame Bateman is an excellent teacher! She's very enthusiastic and you can tell she really wants you to succeed. There's a fun activity in class everyday. There has never been a dull day. Love her, love the class!
Loved her! Alot of class participation. Shes fun, entertaining, and interesting. She's helpful and makes sure you get a good grade. Plus she gives extra credit.
Madame Bateman is fantastic. She's SO enthusiastic about French, and although her teaching style isn't very structured, it's extremely engaging. She did interactive class activities like singing, playing games, contests, and even doing the hokie pokie. :) Her class is a little hard, but she'll help you get through it. Overall, a fun-loving teacher
I took her online 1001 class, and although it is difficult to do a language online, she is so helpful. As long as you do the work, you'll come out on top. She gives you extra credit opportunities and doesn't start ignoring the class later in the semester. She also drops an oral and written assignment. She lets you write a critique to replace a quiz
Professor Bateman is the best French instructor you could ask for! I thoroughly enjoyed her classes, and she has been so helpful in my learning of the french language. Class participation is highly encouraged, so if your a downer, take someone else's class!
Love, love, love Mdm. Bateman! Her class is the highlight of my semester this year. PLEASE TEACH FRENCH 3 IN SPRING 2012!!!! :-)
She's not very clear. Her teaching style is very unorganized. At least she lets you drop a test. Come to class and don't piss her off or your grades will show it.
She is so nice to all the students and has fun activities to learn the stuff instead of book work all the time like some profs! Take her class ! You'll love her , like most people here !
She is a fun professor! She has the ability to teach a language without realizing you're learning it with models, games, and food! :-) PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Teach French 3 in Spring Madame!!!! Pretty please?
Nice lady. Never boring. Only class I really liked last term.Thanks, Madame!
LOVE HER ! Fun and nice and I learned BEACOUP. MISS HER!
She was one of my favorite french teachers i ever had! She's kind and always happy, but has no mercy for making up tests or quizes if you miss a single day and takes points off your final grade for every day you miss after you miss two or three.
LOVE HER. TAKE HER. she's the nicest thing. not to hard if you study, and like languages.
TAKE THIS CLASS SHES AMAZING!
I learned beaucoup !!! She speaks French but repeats alot and makes the work clear. Will explain if you don't understand at first. Nice nice !
Mme Bateman is one of the most helpful, kind, and fun instructors I've ever had. She is passionate about what she does, and it shows. Coming to class is so much fun, and I have learned a LOT! Merci beaucoup, Mme Bateman!
Easy A if you come to class. Attendance is mandatory and you can miss up to 4 days without penalty. Three tests, drops your lowest score. Gives online homework. Kind of boring lectures but overall a nice lady. She taught English in France for a few years, pretty interesting.
Mme Bateman is a sweet teacher and her classes are always interesting DO NOT MISS CLASS!!! Assignments and test are not able to be made up but there are opportunities for extra credit.
Prof Bateman is simply awesome! She cares about her student and you get to learn so much about the french language and culture through her exercises . However attendance is mandatory and you must participate and show interest in the subject. Loved her class and made an easy A. Learnt so much, take her
Best teacher I could possible have. Helped me out. Easy A. Gives 3 tests, but drops 1.
she is a good professor, her class is so fun. she drops one test. there are so many extra credits on quizzes. she use french lab and you don't need to buy a book. Easy A class, take it
I am not a fan of the way this online French class is laid out. Professor Bateman has an "immersion" style of teaching which I am sure would work in person but it is not effective online. I feel as though this professor is unreasonable in her expectations of first time French learners. The required MyFrenchLab is a useless and confusing program.
Currently taking her online. Her online class is VERYYYY unorganized. Tests in OLI but quizzes in iCollege. I wish it were more consistent that way im not guessing where to look. Tests are part multiple choice, part short answer but she doesnt grade the short answer portion so it looks like you failed the test. I really regret taking this class.
Madame Bateman is the best! Her classes are very laid back and she is always willing to help you understand. You watch a lot of french movies and videos that will give you and appreciation for french culture. TAKE HER CLASS. She drops the lowest test grades and gives study guides for each test. I had her for both 1001 and 1002.
I took this class online. I'm not good in french and I was able to pass this class. Test is the hardest part but if you keep your study guide close and review it you should be fine and pass with an A/B for quizzes. Participation does matter but overall if you do the work she will grade you for completing. Not the worst class.
if you are knew to the french language Mrs. Batemans class is perfect. she does have a funny candadian accent! if you are looking for higher level french take a higher class , it is very basic but well explained with the online textbook. Mrs. Bateman is a nice lady that acknowledges your work.
such a good french teacher! she's so caring and nice. will help you if you ever need it. work is not hard plus she makes learning french so easy!!
She cared. She got me in!
She gives you 3 things each week; Recordings of songs, which is INSANE since we barely know how to introduce ourselves in French. She requires you to do a weekly assignment which is hard, like analyzing certain poems. She requires you to take a godly quiz every week. Her quizzes consist of 20 questions and she gives you 16 minutes ONLY. She's RUDE
She's so harsh, if you don't take the syllabus quiz you lose 25 points but if you do it you wont gain anything. Every week has stuff due on every Sunday except for the first week where everything is due 3 days from the first day (syllabus quiz and recordings) her recordings are really hard, she only graded 2 assignments before the midterm
The course is ok in summer but definitely is a lot of work but you can expect it for summer, The quiz time as mentioned I believe it is really not enough time especially since its french 1. The recordings she is strict and kind of expects us to sound super fluent.
DO NOT TAKE HER! I am a premed student with 4.0 GPA, she made my term a living hell! she sent us emails complaining about the three people that gave her a bad rating during the term. You got 500 points, you lose 40 instantly if you don't do the syllabus quiz at the very start of the term. If you're below 450, better know you're not getting an A...
She told us she wont read and evaluate a questionnaire about what we think of her but she ended up doing it before our grade got evaluated... typical. her class is not easy too. a friend of mine took a different professor and i felt like i'm taking intermediate french compared to him ??? and the quiz time dude, so short :))
Honestly, dont take her. How you going to give us a questionnaire about the class and not give us the full credit because we didnt write that the class was what we expected. Her voice recording are insane she thinks we came straight from France when this is just a LVL 1 course. She complained to everyone about these reviews lol just be better.
just run away
Just an honest review ladies and gentlemen. I missed the first week of classes due to the death of a parent, i had to work my bu*t off to get the A, but i still missed it at the end by 13 points. I emailed the professor telling her about my situation and she LITERALLY didn't take any points away from all of her students for the syllabus quiz for me
Difficult professor to work with. At least she responds quickly to emails. Would not take her again and do not recommend.
This Instructor answered all my questions and was very helpful. I liked the assignments that made me see I could really write and speak in French ! She is strict on deadlines but otherwise very cool if you try to do your best.
Honestly just save the headache and find a better professor. She acts like we're supposed to know fluent French like lady the whole reason of being in this class is to learn how to speak it otherwise we wouldn't be here :)))
I didn't even start the class but just looked at the syllabus and schedule and was already overwhelmed and confused. I think she expects too much from a beginner class. I decided to drop the class and switch to another professor. I think she's also the only teacher that teaches 1001 so just be mindful and aware. I recommend taking French in person.
I dropped this class because the amount of work was insane. Not only that, but you're expected to know how to pronounce everything when you're only just learning French for the first time. She grades harshly on recordings as well. Beware of the good reviews for her bc I heard she is the one making them. If you ever want to take french, do in person
She's super nice. She goes exactly along with the schedule which she posts in the syllabus. Clear grading criteria makes it easy to get a 100. There's extra credit at the end of the semester that's super easy to do. Quizzes, midterm, & final are all straightforward and she gives a study guide for final. Not a lot of time to test so know your stuff.
She was a great teacher.
The class overall was not too difficult. Each "lesson" was only a few pages, and there weren't too many of them. Assignments were fairly straightforward, and many were graded on completion. Pronunciation assignments are short and if you rehearse your lines a few times, you should be fine. I didn't really feel like I learned much.
Lessons were VERY disorganized. She doesn't trust her students to not cheat and will set you up for failure. If she thinks you know too much, she becomes suspicious of you. If she thinks you don't know enough, she seems annoyed that you need assistance. Not technologically proficient and will fail you for her own lack of understanding.
Loved the Humanities class ! Well organized and interesting stuff.
Class doesn't teach you how to speak French. "Lectures/Textbook" are just 7 page notes (with pictures), and assignments are very simple with short phrase speaking exercises. Take her if you want an easy humanities credit, but seek other resources for learning actual French.
Madame Bateman helped me pass French. The chapters are not too long. She gives short recordings and writings and a quiz for each chapter. Study the chapters and you can learn alot if you watch the videos too.
Online, this class is not interactive AT ALL. Very easy if you remember the content. She DOES NOT expect advanced work. You'll receive a bad grade (or straight-up fail) if your work seems too advanced. Not good at answering emails. Extra credit opportunities are possible. 7 recordings, 4 writing assignments, 6 quizzes, a midterm, and the final.
Overall the class is ok. It was easy but I don't feel like I learned much. I think her class would be better in person. She only expects work at a beginner level. You will receive a 0 on the assignment if you use any vocabulary that was not taught in class. There are 10 quizzes 2 writing assignments and 3 oral assignments. No midterm and no final.
She is ruthless , the quizzes are only 25 MINUTES !!!! That is not enough time to do anything on something you are just learning? She expects us to learn all of this in weeks what she has known for most of her life ??? The lessons are full of unorganized content and like 15 pages long!! If she had voice recorded lectures that would really help!
Her teaching style was one of great frustration. The minimal time given for tests , along with her reaction of agitation disregards the fact it was an elementary French class. It feels as though it has been lost on her that we are fairly new to the information.
I dual enrolled this class. I didn't like her too much in the beginning, but warmed up to her style pretty quickly. She's very nice but honestly has such a low bar for this class even if it is beginning-level French. For the writing assignments she literally asked us to use ChatGPT on it... Makes my life easier but I'm not sure how I'm learning??
Pretty good professor, but I don't think I learned much. 6 Quizzes, 6 Oral Assignments, 4 Writing Assessments, and a Final. The learning resources exist, but it's not super organized--everything only feels loosely connected, which probably isn't great for an intro class. This class probably isn't the best way to learn French, but it's pretty easy.
The class is challenging, but using tools like Unstuck AI alongside the textbook can help manage the workload. Attendance is mandatory, but the professor is hit-or-miss on helpfulness.
