I love this professor! She makes learning French fun and interesting; it's not EASY, you still have to study, but she is really great. She's the one to take!
A Brazilian professor teaching the French language to English-speaking American students. Just too many nationalities. She's got quite a Brazilian accent, and it can throw you off whenever she speaks...and being the instructor, she speaks that a lot.
This class was my biggest worry during the beginning of the semester, but now it is a breeze. I think all foreign languages are hard to learn, but if you study in Mrs. Florido's class then you will pass. Also, do the extra credit. She offers a ton of it.
She is great! The class is not easy (sometimes we have lots of homework) but you learn a lot and she helps you if you need. Dr. Florido is nice, very capable and polite. Too bad some students are so annoying and rude and think they know it all.

FANTASTIC! She, is so funny, but that doesn't mean easy. SHe makes French very interesting, and no, her accent is not too heavy. She is definitely who you want to take French with.
She is cool and knows her stuff. I hope I have her throughout 222. The pace in the summer is crazy, but I feel I'm learning quite a lot.
She is pretty easy. As long as you answer in class, you'll get on her good side. She gives lots of Extra credit. She is super nice. You can get exempt from final if you have an A average.
Easy?I had homework the first day!!!Everyday their's homework!!!Plus the extra-credit, you actully have to work to get it!She teaches well and is funny but the first exam is coming up and I'm afraid of a F.I also like her fashion and she's pretty.
I love Dr. Florido. She is so good! She keeps me awaken.
Thanks to her i now hate french even more. thankyou florido.

She made French fun!
Everyday I pray so that the overhead screen will be rolled all the way up. Dr. Florido will then jump to get it. Don't help her and you will see what I mean. She is a wonderful teacher in all aspects of the word. She is the best.
she was wonderful. shew truly made me enjoy learning french.
I love her! I worship her! She's the coolest, best, hottest at UTM. She's the one and only.
Dr. Florido is a very animated, humorous, fun teacher; therefore, not surprisingly, her class is very interactive and low-stress. There is homework every day, but it is light and reasonable. I have learned quite a bit. The pace could be more rapid, but I only say that because I like a challenge.
She is animated and loves to teach what she knows best. The assigned hmwk lasts no longer than 10 minutes and her tests are pretty easy (she tells you what to expect on the exam). She's also got awesome fashion sense; I would recommend her to almost anyone!
Very good teacher, very helpful to students.
So much fun! I have learned so much because she makes it enjoyable! If you are going to take French take her.
Mrs. Florido is an awesome French teacher. love her.. Everyone Take here..
She is so much fun in class! This woman does not dress like a teacher!
Dr. Florido is a great professor! She is very fair and helpful. If you go to class, participate, and complete the assignments, you should have no problem getting an A.
Very intelligent and sweet prof. Intimidating at first, but she's not mean at all. She's one of the top teachers on campus. She'll help you to do well, but she doesn't like dumb people.
Captain my captain!
I loved her! Please take her for French- she is so helpful and interesting. She is hilarious and you'll have a great time in class. You will also learn a lot. There is homework in this class, but you'll learn French better if you do it. Tests are just like what she tells you they'll be like. One of the best teachers I've ever had! A+
She's a great teacher, but can drive you nuts. For her, a C is a “horrible” grade, a B is like a C and the only A she likes is above 95%. Then she can ask you do to the same thing five times, until it's "perfect." If you say you are trying your best, she'll tell you to try her best instead.
One great, fun, caring teacher. I started a C and end up A, she pushed me to excell. She told us she was not paid to make it easy for us,but to teach us. I like this concept. She's brilliant and her brain seems to be wired different from other people. She has what people call a beautiful mind. I learned alot from her. Best teacher ever! Take her if
She's very good, very funny and very intersting as a person.I really liked the class, but she likes homework...
I like the class, but if we could have homework it would be better. Sometimes I think she thinks we only have to do Spanish. She is nice though, and will help you if you ask. I think her favorite words are PERFECTO and ESTUPIDO. It's funny how she looks at some ESTUPIDO people...
Dr. Lucy is not bad, but if you're not smart and have a job like me, stay away from her.she takes lots of your time.she also hates if you mumble. I was intimidated by her jumpy snappy way. she'll pick on you if you sound dumb.
I love Lucia. She makes class so much fun. All you have to do is put forth some effort. And by the way, she's from Brazil-not France!!!
Dr. Florido is SO funny!!!! And YES, she's a beautiful woman (but that's NOT important AT ALL). She's very organized and clear. It seems that she LOVES to teach. Homework is to HELP us and she grades faster than most. I'll miss her. She puts a smile on face :). One thing: she's NEVER sick and wont let you near if you are. THANKS, Lucy!
i love my professor florido. she's really good and organized. she keeps you focused on your studies. she will give you a second chance if you try to talk to her and tell the truth. french is my favorite class now thanks to her. she's a real person, with a big sweet heart. and she's also funny and always knows what's going on.she has opinions.
God has bestwoed many blessings upon her. I feel I will learn from her and hope my classmates will too. Miss Florido is the kind of person who makes you a better person. And she is funny too. I don't even mind coming to class everyday. I even enjoy it! And there are many pluses to her!
She makes you work, but her exams are fair. She grades fast and you always know your average. there are no surprises with her. Florido is nice, funny but somewhat distant. you can't quite get to know her. she is very little and cute as a professor.
Too bad she crossed my path so late in the game. She is simply wonderful. You learn a lot from her and she makes you give your best.
GREAT. I learned a lot from her. however I did have to study for my grade.
she's a pretty good teacher. come to class every day. do your homework. she gives extra credit. listen to her carefully because she has her brazillian accent. as long as you listen to her you can figure out what she said. Overall she is a great teacher to take.

She is the absolute best proffesor that I've ever personally had. I have learned an incredible amount of information and gained such a great understanding of the language with her as my teacher. A lot of the time she speaks the language you're studying so you have to keep your ears open. If you really are listening, you really begin to learn it.
I love her! She gives you direction when you think you are lost. She is clear as water and the nicest person you want to meet. I love UTM because of her support and kindness. She is a very strong human being and you can feel it when you are in her company. TAKE HER!!!!!!!!
The woman is hilarious. She'll make you laugh so hard! She's an excellent teacher too. You actually learn stuff and also to talk in French. College would be so much less awful if all professors were like her. She's great (and hot too), what helps early in the morning. But keep your cell away or she might throw it in the garbage.
Dr. Florido is one of a kind. She's really nice with athletes, what's just not like most profs. She understands that we need to go on trips and have to practice and do homework. I was behind a lot, but sheis just like my coach. She looks you right in the eye. You have to push yourself and try to do better. Her SIs are cool and super helpfull.
I had French in HS, but it was not at all like it's here. We have much more interaction and the teacher speaks French most of the time. The thing is: we all understand her. Florido is competent and cool. She's always uobeat, even when she's upset! I love her already!!!!!!!
She's a great teacher and surprinsingly cool if compared to the rest of the language dept. I thought she would be nasty, but I like her much more than X, Y and Z. She takes you as you are, and works with you, not against you. She is a very accepting person who doesn't need to be a control-freak to hold students' attention. She is not a CHATA.
I like her seriously. She's funny, happy,great teacher, and totally cool. I don't think she's all that pretty like some people said, but she has a totally amazing attractive personality and that makes her goodlooks look prettier. She also dresses fine and looks intelligent. She'll take late homework if you keep whining.
she's a very good teacher and very funny too. take her and you'll learn. homework is not too much, but enough to keep you following the class. another thing, she's always hungry or look hungry. i had a fun semester with her. she's super nice and will chat with you if she's not in a hurry.
She goes way too fast to keep up with anything. Intro French, and yet we cover a chapter in 3 days. No way to keep up!
This is so not fair with the lady! You must have missed class to think she covers a chapter in 3 days. It never happened! The course is fast pace, but not too much. Madame Florido always reviews stuff a lot. She's really good and offers lots of extra-credit and extra online homework.
She'll always be my knight in shinning armour! My favorite teacher + the only one who made sure I graduated despite of myself. Hey Florida thanks for taking my side and push me through. Hey guys you take her now! She's awasome!
I'm not the typical UTM student and Dr. Lucy understands it. She reviews alot, make us work with students who can help us and gives lots of opprtunity to improve our grade. She's a very good and caring teacher. She's funny and relax too.
she's not a espanol teacher normally, so i cant take 122 with her, whats too bad. she's really cool and very nice too. one classy lady, me gusta (not gusto!) la profesora bonita. hace calor.
Loved her! I love Lucy! Thanks for a fun Summer school.
I'm fresh out of hs and at first she was totally intimidating to me and I felt really terrified. Then, once you get over it you actually like her and feel comfortable in class. She treats all her students well and is a very confident person, what makes you feel confident too. She reviews quite a bit and has a good pace. Great teacher!
She's a good teacher and the most curious person I've ever met. Those eyes are killers! Florido is also suspicious of anything you tell her if you miss a bunch of classes. She's very funny (in a mean way) and has good taste. She draws funny stuff and is always prepared for class. Exams are not too hard. COME TO CLASS!
At the beginning of the semester I thought she was distant. I now know that she is really nice, cool and understanding. She is very good and as a future teacher I'm learning from her. I'm a girl, so I don't think she's hot, but I think she's cute, like My Little Pony. She is very smart too.
Dr. Florido was really awesome. I had her for 111 and 122 and I can say that I've learned beaucoup. She also showed me a side of myself I didn't know: I know now that I'm much stronger than I thought I was. I hope to get an A in 122, but I'm pretty sure I'll get at least a B in life;)! Thanks, Doc! And her SI team rules! Thanks, guys! Bravo!
She's amazing. Great personality, clear, funny, good for the brain and the eyes. All you want in a teacher and more. She can nail me to the board, step on my foot, hit me with a quiz everyday and I still love her. Call me Pierre!
She has no mercy on her students. I'm not a student like everybody else. I don't expect an A, but I expect understanding and support. My life is hard and French is not a priority at all. Attendance is only mandatory in languages and I'll fail because of Floridos' lack of heart. Don't expect any help from this woman! She's evil.
I actually think she's really helpful and understanding. Come to class, do your homework, see the si and don't complain about stuff. She told us to keep our "lamentations of Jeremiah" to ourselves. She's funny.
She saved my life! If you need someone to say as it is, ask Professor Florido. You might not like it, but it will teach you how to turn things around. She's the toughest person I know and I can only wonder why and how she became like that. The military would suit her well.
She's a good teacher and tries to get all of us involved in class. Exams are fair, but frequent. She's funny, nice and upscale. She has been to so many places! She has a big city dress style and I don't even think she owns a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. Overall, this has been a very good summer class.
Dr. Florido is an interesting lady and makes class fun! Review vocab and come to class its an easy A!
I like her a lot. Had her for two semesters and can understand and speak pretty well. If I had to describe her in one word it would be "bright". Lot's of fun too.
She's a real good teacher and nice person in class, but if you see her outside class (like in the WM) she's totally anti-social and you feel like she would jump into the freezer and hide behind the milk to avoid talking to you. Impossible to be friends with her.
She was the best and most engaging professor I had this semester. I'll became a French minor because she made me love the language and enjoy studying it.
I don't understand all of these good ratings. I've had her for 115, 122, & now I'm in 222. I make A's but I dread the class. If you don't have an aptitude for foreign languages, then this class isn't for you. She can be funny, but she puts people on the spot all the time. If you like getting called on a lot, then this class is for you. If not, RUN.
She is one of the best teacher I've ever known. Very friendly. EASY A
Hey is just great, she ask always do u understand, I love her class and it is really easy A if u do whatever she ask the class to do
By far my favorite professor on the UTM Campus. She is incredibly intellegent and always is there for you if you need anything! She makes you work, but if you want to learn the language, she will get you there! I definitely recommend her!
She was my instructor last semester and again this semester. She's great, but only if you can handle intense people. She can be too energetic and stubborn for some and she tends to think too much about every little thing. She's funny and dorky. She'll flunk you for attendance, but if you come you will pass her class.
She is very helpful and hot ..!! I got A in her class
a really nice person and fun fun fun. at times she reminds me of a hyperactive windshield wiper bc she goes from one side of the classroom to the other about a 1000 times in 50 mins. i learned a lot from her and will take her again next semester.
J'aime cette femme. She's my favorite professor. Everything about her and that class is amazing. She's crazy and dorky and hilarious. If you do the homework and the listenings, you'll do extremely well in her class. Guaranteed. Florido RULES.
She's very patient and a good professor.i lerned from her and she took her time to reply to my personal problems and help me get thru some stuff. you wont get to konow a better person on this campus. she's funny and likes to teach.she'll help you if you help yourself but she wont give you a grade just because.
She's very likeable and explains things clearly. Very organized and energetic. 111 was my favorite class last semester and 122 is my favorite class so far. Dr. Florido is engaging and welcoming. Highly recommend her.
Good instructor with great style. I may not learn much French, but I'll learn how to dress like the French. You will like her if you like to be active in class. If you like to sit and listen, better take someone else.
She is very energetic and encourages participation. Do the Connect assignments. They help tremendously.
This is my sixth time in her class and I know her well. Do your homework regularly, participate and volunteer. She's a fair grader and her tests at the upper-division are long, but not difficult. The tests at 111 etc are very easy if you study regularly.
I'll miss Florido. She is one of the best professors I had at UTM. Fantastic. Not hard at all if you bother to study. DO THE CONNECT HOMEWORK! It will impact your grades in ways you only believe when you see it.
She is GREAT! Tests are easy. Connect homework is a must! Take her if you get the chance; she will change your days sometimes!
Florido makes you feel comfortable in class and her passion for teaching makes you feel like making an extra effort. I am very shy, but the class is so engaging and fun that I actually enjoy participating and practicing the language. If you do the Connect assignments regularly, you won't have any trouble getting a B or even A.
Least helpful professor on campus. I had a terrible semester, but really tried to catch up after mid-term. When I asked for suggestions to pass her class, she told me to youtube how to build a time machine so that I could go back to January. Isn't she funny :/ ? Don't take her if you have a job or a family or health problems.
Dr. Florido makes learning French very engaging; she loves class participation! Her tests are easy if you study the vocab and verb conjugations. The Connect homework will help your grade tremendously, so be sure you keep yourself up-to-date with that. This was my easiest class by far!
Dr. Florido is wonderful. She really cares about her students and provides every opportunity to make a good grade in the class. The Connect homework will save your grade, so make sure that you do it. She conveys the material clearly and makes class very enjoyable. Definitely one of my favorite professors at UTM!
Dr. Florido is the best teacher! I have had her for three semesters now, and I highly recommend her. The homework is on connect. About four exams throughout the semester.
My favorite thing about her is how funny she is. However, she's also a great lecturer and very informative. Accessible outside of class and if you have an emergency she's understanding. Don't expect an easy A, though; you'll have to work for it. As long as you do the homework it's very possible to make an A.
Fair grader, funny, pleasant, prepared and knows what she's doing. Really enjoy her class. Exams are easy if you do the Connect homework on a regular basis. If you don't do the Connect, likely you won't pass the class. She'll not lift a finger to help you if you don't do anything to help yourself. Her words.
She is super funny, and she wants you to succeed. The textbook is expensive, but it is required, and she gives you a few changes to buy one used. You do HAVE TO do that homework online. Otherwise, don't bother. She will get sassy if you don't do what you should, but if you put in effort on Connect and in class, she'll be super supportive.
Dr. Florido is amazing! I literally did not think i'd do well in french until I started the class. She is very sweet and makes it as easy as possible. Her exams are always easier than what she makes you learn in class, and the connect really helps.
Really easy if you do the online (Connect) homework
I wish I had time to get a minor in French, but I'll be graduating in May. Dr. Florido is a very authentic person and a great teacher. I understand English grammar better now thanks to the way she explains French grammar. The Connect homework will make or break your grade. Do it! It actually helped me with my listening.
Dr. Florido is great about giving worksheets and explaining stuff. She makes sure we are following the lesson and always asks if we have questions. Exams are fair. If you don't do the Connect homework you won't pass or will get a D. Homework grade helps your grade a ton. Do it!
This is my second French class with Dr. Florido. She is my favorite professor. She grades super-fast and is very fair and helpful. I took Spanish in HS, so there's a lot of stuff that overlaps. You have to do the Connect homework if you want a good grade. Also pay attention to how many absences you have. Her assistant Parker is awesome too.
Very straight forward course.
I never thought I would do well in French. I had Spanish in high school and was bad at it. But Dr. Florido is very clear and gives a lot of sheets to help us. The book online is expensive, but you can't pass without doing the homework. Now I know that I can learn another language, even if I was bad at languages before. I'm more confident.
She is great and will further explain things if needed. Don't participate too much, but don't participate too little. Saw 2 girls get told to shut up because they participated too much.
Easy homework, gives study guide and reviews before every test. Genuinely one of the most funny people I've ever met. She's happy to answer questions every time I'm uncertain about something, and very very helpful
