The way she teaches her class is ridiculous. Yes, it's an easy A, but only because attendence is worth more points than any of her real grades (which is ridiculous).

Professor Pomerleau is a very positive and caring professor. She makes you feel comfortable asking for help and is a very fair grader. There is a good amount of homework and multiple presentations but they are all very easy if you put the work in. Loved her!

Literally the sweetest human being. She wants everyone to do well. She keeps the class super light and fun. I ended up with a 100% in her class however I did put in a tiny bit of effort. She drops a ton of grades a quiz, a discussion, 6 homeworks, etc. Easy peasy for sure.

Prof Pomerleau is the sweetest! And also a wonderful teacher. She will give you back what you put in. If you really want to learn, she is great for the job and makes it enjoyable. Be ready for a few presentations and online homeworks. Lectures weren't too helpful unless I had a question but are mandatory. Small class size makes it super personal!

Here is what I learned of her teaching style: 1) Lots of information and vocabulary given in the beginning! I was afraid it'd be like that every week, but it's not, it slows down. 2) She's a forgiving grader! Honestly if you try, you'll do okay, she understands how hard it is. 3) Duolingo!!!!

She explains things well. The hw is not that hard, most is on VHL. The final is a video presentation w a voiceover, but she isn't a harsh grader. Great professor!

If language studying is difficult for you, you may not want to take her online - notes and open-book are not allowed on tests, which are proctored. You must keep up with the homework and have self-discipline - don't be afraid to ask for help early, as she is incredibly kind and willing to give it! You have to put in effort if you want to do well.

She was super nice and outgoing, I just wouldn't recommend having her for a zoom class. The textbook is $135 for one semester and it's mandatory, so if your major doesn't require a language I'd say it probably isn't worth the money. If it is, however, make sure you take it exclusively in person. Overall, she's a really good professor!
