yummy

Carol does'nt play favorites at all! She's a very open minded, helpful, and patient professor. Her tests are hard, but you know what? This is college, not high school anymore. If possible, take her!

She's really cute. Has high expectations, but is more than willing to help...so far.

She's a great prof. She doesn't play favorites! She expects us to be adults. She very willing to help and explain things. I would real encourage you to take her. Elle est très intéressante.

Carol is a great prof! This is my first French class and I have already learned a lot. She integrates fun activites into the class and makes learning another language fun. She doesn't play favorites! I would definitely recommend her to other students.

Prof Wilson is excellent. She truly is there to make sure all of her students are learning and meeting their full potential in class. She is willing to help anytime and it's a pleasure to be in her class.

She is a wonderful professor! I have enjoyed every class thus far. She does a wonderful job of explaining things out for us. I took French in high school and this is more fun and I have learned more! Take her...she is awesome!

Carol is extremely nice and very willing to help if you ever need it. She is a little pickey about accents but just because she doesn't want you to make a mistake when it really counts. Take her if it is at all possible.

she is an AMAZING professor!! she is patient if you've never taken French and she talks so you can understand her. she is nice and funny and all around cool! she even dresses really cute 0:]

Great Prof., very helpful and always willing to go the extra mile. She is a pretty easy test grader but makes sure you learn the material.

Awesome Professor! She adds a lot of interesting tidbits and facts to French that keeps the class from getting boring. Extremely nice and willing to go the extra mile, but don't expect an easy A. Definatly take Carol, she rocks!

I like how Carol doesn't make me feel rushed into learning everything about the foreign language in one semester. Carol won't move on until she knows that everyone comprehends at least somewhat of what we are learning. She brings her guitar to class and has us sing along with her and makes powerpoint presentations that explain things so clearly.

She seriously rocks as a professor. I had her for 101 also and had straight A's. She makes everything so easy to understand and also makes it interesting. She is a very understanding person and has an amazing personality. I'll be sad when the time comes that I have to take a different prof :(

She was very aproachable and moved trough material a a good pace.

Teaches straight from the book, and that gets annoying at times. She is really nice and approachable, but if you want more organization and more than just reading through book exercies, maybe not the best.

She is great. Carol is very helpful and understanding, she is a teacher who knows that life can throw you a monkey wrench. And is very willing to help you out and is real easy to talk to.

Amazing prof. Very helpful and understanding. Tests are a little hard, but that is to be expected in any language class. Makes coming to class fun, I learned so much.

Don't listen to teh bad reviews. I have had Mme Wilson for the last three semesters, and she rocks! Very interested in the progress of her students, adn unlike other professors, loves getting input from her students and makes herself available practically 24/7.

Although there are a lot of assignments, they usually don't require THAT much time and are usually necessary if you really want to learn the language. If you keep up with the homework and actually WANT to learn this class is a breeze. She is awesome and one of the most helpful professors I've met. Fun fun class!

She is the greatest professor of all time. People with bad reviews don't know what they are talking about. They probably just didn't try. I ended up Carol is the most caring and understanding professor out there. She teaches in a way that you can understand. EASY A!!!

Great prof! Willing to help students at any time with any problems. Great mentor and her love of the language is passed on to the class. Sometimes get off-topic, but what class doesn't? Fun classes and a great person to learn from. Cares about students, their needs and wants all to succeed. Recommended. FYI-effort required in a foreign language.

LOVE HER! I had her for two semesters, and she is amazing. Always willing to help, inside or outside of class. Really gets to know her students and cares about them. She is so passionate about French and teaching it. Highly recommend her.

I loved her so much, my second sem. i transfered out of my class into hers again. she is AMAZING. i love her so much. she's helpful and cares. she's very understanding and will help you even if you're not in her class anymore

I love madame carol! she makes french a lot more fun!!!

she is a blast! loved her class and i would highly recommend it.

The absolute best french teacher, ever. Take her if you can!

I LOVE Prof Wilson! She is super nice and willing to help you out whenever you ask. She makes class fun and begins the day with youtube! I recommend taking her if you have the chance...I know I will if I have the opportunity!

She makes class so much fun! She is always willing to help, and there are lots of assignments which are not too hard, so a good grade is pretty easy to attain as long as you go to class and do the work. We used the book a lot, and did one really fun project with i-movie! This class is worth waking up for in the morning.

Super nice and funny. really wants students to understand the french language and culture. tries to make class fun. really helpful and wants you to succeed. lots of assignments, but as long as you do them you will get a good grade.

Prof. Wilson is by far one of the best profs on campus! She is immensely helpful, open minded and objective, and teaches in a variety of ways and doesn't do just lecture all the time. I learned more in one semester with her than I have 3 yrs of French classes. She also understands the culture and incorporates that into class discussions. Great!!

Prof. Wilson's class was fairly easy. She would always clarify in English if you asked. We spent a lot of time on culture and watching youtube videos at the beginning of class. I feel like I learned a lot about France, but I don't know how prepared I am for French 201. She's giving us a take home exam because we didn't finish all the material.

Best professor at Grand Valley! Helpful, she's knows her stuff backward and forward. Brings life into class. Take her! You will not regret it!

Prof. Wilson was easy and nice. She gave alot of work so if you get behind on that or don't understand it, that's where it gets hard. People with prior knowledge of french will be fine.

Professor Wilson is an amazing teacher, and is always very helpful. She is patient with her students and always seems interested in us in and out of class

Prof. Wilson is really nice! There's not too much homework, and the class is not difficult as long has you pay attention.

I came into this french 1 class with the history of passing french 1 and 2 at community college.. it was really difficult, but she is amazingly helpful and will answer any question to help you stay on track with what they're working on in class. excellent teacher, make it a point to take her if you're taking french. :)

She's so much fun! She shows you all sorts of funny french youtube videos. Class isn't too difficult, and her accent is pretty good.

Speaks no english whatsoever

I love her! She is an amazing teacher, she does talk in french constantly, but if oyu dont understand she is very willing to speak in english. She makes class super fun. Don't miss lecture, she does assign homework, but it's easy. She posts everything on blackboard. Definitely recommmend her!!

Love her! She's SO helpful in and out of class. She's extremely likable and always finds ways to make class fun/interesting. Take good notes, always attend class, and study and you'll do fine.

Great prof! She speaks French the whole time but is willing to explain things in English. You have to attend class or you'll be confused.

Great professor! She puts a lot of effort into helping students understand. Since she usually only speaks in French in class, students can pick p the language much more quickly if they put in the necessary effort and don't slack off.

I loved Wilson, she is very knowledgeable about french culture and language. Class is fun and filled with hands on learning experiences, sometimes she can be a hard grader but overall wonderful class.

I love Prof Wilson. She is really understanding and energetic. She conducts class in French but is willing to slow down and translate.

Professor Wilson is good! I recommend her for beginnners - I didn't know any French at all when I started but I have learned a ton. She's not the easiest, but you will gain a lot of French. Be ready to study and work hard, but it will pay off.

Prof. Wilson is great! She always showed us funny videos in class. She's a pretty tough grader, so you'll have to work hard, but I learned a LOT in this class and I am definitely prepared for 201. Take her!

So far she is one of my top 3 favorite teachers. She is so nice and she really helps out when it is needed.

She's amazing! Animated and very friendly. She expects you to work, though, so don't be hoping for an easy A.

Personally, I loved her. Great cultural references and great examples when explaining the dynamics of the language. Highly recommended.

If you want to take French but not actually learn a whole bunch and just sit and hangout all day then take Professor Wilson. She is super chill and basically we just sat in class and did little worksheets everyday. She is super nice and easy tot talk too. The class and her exams/test were super easy.

She is a great professor! She speaks mostly in French to help immerse students in the material but will speak English for clarification if asked. Always willing to help and explain. Provides students with exactly what will be on the test beforehand. She never responds to emails though, which is aggravating. Very tough grader so be ready to work.

Professor Wilson will hold your hand through the semester. All that is required of you is to make all the corrections in the workbook.

I would recommend Prof. Wilson for French 101 and 102. Her exams are not cumulative, she is always there to help, she gives a lot of interesting cultural information about France and French speaking countries, she encourages study abroad and will write you a recommendation if you so desire! She inspired me to set the goal of fluency! Take her class

She is so, so, so kind and extremely helpful! :) She really does care for her students and makes it clear that, while she is your professor, she is also there for you. She primarily speaks in French, even in 101, which can be frustrating at first, but after a couple of weeks, you'll understand almost everything she is saying! She is wonderful.

Her classes are not easy, but she is more than willing to provide extra help to students who ask. Her lectures can be pretty tough, but she also is wiling to slow down to clarify anything that needs to be explained. Keep in mind, all the lectures are in French so you need to pay extra attention to the exercises in the book and the homework.

Carol is such a sweet prof and she is very interested in French and their culture. This made me more interested and the class and I appreciated how tough she is on forcing you to speak in the language because it really does help you learn better.

Prof Wilson is a super nice lady but her teaching skills could use work. The textbook is basically just a bunch of activities to do and she expects us to already know what words mean and how to conjugate verbs. 101 is the basic introductory class where most kids don't know French coming into it. I think she expects a little too much out of us.

I love Prof. Wilson, I'm in her class right now and will be taking FRE102 next semester. She is interactive, fun and genuinely cares about the students. It's a little overwhelming at first because she speaks in all french, but it is so helpful and really boosts the understanding of the language. She's very flexible and truly loves the culture.

Professor Wilson is the best French professor I've had so far. She speaks mostly in French, but it isn't too overwhelming because she will give explanations in English if you ask for them. Her grading isn't harsh at all, and as long as you put in effort and study a bit outside of class your grade will reflect it. Also, our final was take-home!

Shes very sweet and very good at keeping class interesting. You have to buy the book.

Class wasn't too hard, as long as you attend class. She cares about how her students are doing in learning the language and wants to help. She does take a while to grade assignments, but it doesn't make much of a difference.

I'm bad at French but managed this class. Beware that getting any grades back takes a long time (making it hard to know what your score for the class is). Make sure you come to class! Take home final and you can watch a French movie each chapter for extra credit points. Very nice lady.

This class very much intimidated me, but Carol made the atmosphere positive, and she presented the material in super accessible and helpful ways. Very responsive to student feedback, encourages participation. She really cares about your knowledge of French language and culture. Also, the final was a take-home exam, which was awesome.

Madame is amazing!! She truly wants each student to succeed in class. She will correct you in order to make you better. The only bad thing is that she speaks mainly in french the whole class period, so if you do not know much french to begin with, then good luck. You have homework every night to prepare for the next class period but it is not hard!

J'adore Madame Wilson. She was incredibly understanding when I was going through a really tough time in my personal life and we have a real connection now. Her class was a breeze for me, I loved every day of it (I might be biased bc I'm a french major now). She is wonderful.

Carol is wonderful. She is so understanding when it comes to life interfering with school. She assigns a lot of assignments, but it helps your grade when they are pretty simple. She gives clear study guides for all of her exams. Best thing is that for when i had her for 102 and 201, she made the final a take home and we watched a movie on exam day

She was so wonderful this semester. She had a really rough go of it and still recognized and appreciated that we had one too. Very flexible, understanding, and overall amazing.

She is very kind and is really invested in making sure her students understand the material. You do get credit for attendance and there is quite a bit of preparing before class. However, it is a language course and the extra practice really helps in the long run.

Mme was wonderful. I was nervous to be placed into 102 at first, and it was an adjustment with Mme speaking almost entirely in French. However, as long as you complete the work outside of class and get the recommended practice in, it's not difficult to succeed. All tests were take home, and assignments could be redone for a better grade.

Madame is EXTREMELY understanding when it comes to late assignments and having to miss class. Never got any points taken off for late work and she would let me attend class through Zoom when I was experiencing covid symptoms and couldnt be on campus. All tests and exams are take home and exactly like the content covered in class.

Prof. Wilson is such a lovely lady and you can't help but genuinely hope the best for her. The fact that it's a beginning French course at a collegiate level automatically makes it difficult, but she made the transition so much more comfortable. I learned more in 1 semester of her French class than I did with 3 years of high school Spanish.

If you dont know any french before going into this class, Good Luck! The class starts at a very fast pace and you dont go over anything more then once.

Prof Wilson was an amazing professor! She used an "ungrading" system that really helped with class quizzes. Her lectures were super interesting and she always encourages participation so get ready to speak! The activities we did were super fun and actually useful! She gives great feedback as well. I would 10/10 reccommend.

Madame Wilson is AMAZING!!! She is the reason I feel so comfortable taking such an intimidating language. She makes everyone feel confident and comfortable! Love her!!!

She's really helpful and a great person to have teaching. The only thing I would comment on is her timing with grading. We do a lot of work in her class and often times that work goes ungraded for a long time, as well as tests. Over all she is a great and will get you excited about French language!

Prof Carol was an amazing professor! She's super sweet, kind, and funny. The class was mostly in-person lectures, lots of talking in French with your table partner(s), and a couple fun projects. She speaks in French for a majority of the class but she is always quick to help if you don't understand.

She was great! My French skills were very rusty coming in since I last studied it in high school. But, the way Professor Tiesma taught it came back naturally (of course with practice!) As long as you attend every class and study the materials you will do great on the IPAs and homework. She does take a while to grade though! Will take her again.
