he is really helpful and goes the extra mile to help out...definately take him
A realli realli helpfull teacher. if you want an A you'll most likely get it. Just go to class he gives homeworks and quizzes that realli boost up ur grade cuz they're realli easy and he puts up everything you're goina need on blackboard soo i strongly recomment him.
Very helpful. If you do the homework and come to clas and particpate you will get an A! I failed the final and I still got and A because I just came to class and did all the assignments. He also puts everything online so its easy to track your grades which is very helpful.
He's amazing, especially if you're new to the language. He's funny and teaches you more than non-native speakers can. Lots of quizzes to boost your grade. TAKE HIM TAKE HIM TAKE HIM =)
Good teaher, native Parisian. Needs to teach for a living, but is only satisfying his grad requirement.
I LOVED HIM!!! I never took French before in my life until I came to Howard. First semester killed me, then I took a different teacher, Prof. Scotto di Pompeo. He helped fill in the gaps and confusion I had from the previous semester. Learned alot and more. Take him first and you will be set!
I had him French 2 and he was a great help. He made his class very interactive and he made French very relevant to what is going on everyday. I enjoyed his class and though even though French is not my best subject.
Excellent teacher! Makes French fun! The best French teacher ever! Great stories and insight into French life and culture!
He is very clear and organized. It is a very structured course and he gives you ample opportunity to earn a good grade. He often uses personal experience, which keeps the class lively. He is the best language teacher I've had.
Very fun to take, willing to help, you can also tell he loves to teach at Howard. He is also interested in the students best interest. he always stops to talk on the yard and see how your doin. Overall I would definitely take him again! and it doesnt hurt that he is a cutie and tres chic! -G.A
Best french teacher i've ever had. Very professional cares about the students and gives plenty of homework to help balance your grade. Easy to communicate with (via email, office hours or text) Easy but you have to do your part to earn your grade. This was my second time taking french 2 and got an A the 2nd time. Highly recommend
The best teacher ever... so helpful with relating french to our lives and it made things alot easier than it could have been if it was someone else... loved it! wish he taught higher level courses
I particularly liked this class because I actually felt like I learn something!!! The prof. speaks french as a native language so it makes it sooooo much easier to understand because he KNOWS what he is talking about! Also whenever I needed outside help with a chapter he was more than willing to help. I truly appreciated this class. Great use of th
He was very friendly and passionate about teaching.
He was a great professor, very friendly and helpful. Made the material understandable and clear. Take him!
Great professor, would recommend him to any and everyone needing french requirments.He knows his information and speaks good english lol
Best prof ever. He was really helpful and he made learning another language fun. He utilized all the tools from the text book. He was very humorous and if you had any problems with your grade or understanding the material, he was ready and willing to help in whatever way. I wish he taught up to French Level 4.
Prof. Pompeo is a really good language teacher. I had him for French I and French II and I plan on gettin a degree in French so hopefully he will be teaching so I can take him!
Awesome, he such a good professor! I never thought I could learn French, but he made it make sense. I would totally take him again, if I didn't already have my language requirement filled lol!
Prof Scotto di Pompeo is amazing. Purely amazing. Besides from just being an awesome person, he is in love with French culture and a linguist himself so he understands the challenges of learning a new language. My French 001 class literally stayed up all night to ensure we would get seats in his French 002 class the following semester. TAKE HIM!!
He is a really nice teacher..for the most part just show up to class and put a little effort in the tests. Make sure you do all the homeworks so that if you dont do so well his tests it will help your grade a little.
You should take him for sure. Was by the far the best french teacher I've had at Howard. Very straight-forward, very funny, and very cultured. He knows his stuff too!
He is very funny and goofy makes me laugh a lot with his american and france this jokes lol i lvoe him. you must come to class, you must to them darn Quia's!! but overall he is very good teacher. you will pass if you attend and do you work.
He is very good professor! And he's actually from France so he knows the culture and everything. He's funny and sociable too. But you will have to work in his class. However he makes the class format nice and structured so nothing ever comes as a surprise. And you have to come to class too.
I Love Prof. Scotto Di Pompeo!!!! His classes are demanding, but you have to study!!!! He will give you study guides, send text messages and emails to remind you about quizzes and tests. I didn't do well on tests but did great on everything else and got an A in the class. The best French teacher ever.
Great Class. I took him after taking another professor who didn't teach French so it was nice to have a professor who made the class interesting and relatable to French culture in many different ways!! Would take him again in a heartbeat :)
Professor Pompeo is HILARIOUS. He is absolutely the best French professor at Howard very upfront and direct so make sure you dont piss him off or say the spanish translation for a word in his class. Very fashion forward and laid back. He teaches you the current slang words in french as well as the traditional. 5 stars for his fierce self lmao.
He's wonderful!! Absolutely the best French professor at Howard University. I had him for French 1 and I had an A. I'm in his French II class right now (It was a lot to get in). Just go to class as attendance is extremely important.
He is a very good teacher and I learned so much from him. I would encourage others to take him in any class because he is a great and encouraging teacher who helps when needed.
Omg Professor Scotto di Pompeo is the BEST french teacher. He is hilarious and very down-to-earth. He's also very straight forward and will tell it like it is. His class is always fun and interesting. He does actually teach & will make sure that u understand the material. The quizzes are super easy if u know the vocab. I definitely recommend him.
One of the best teachers at Howard. He is very helpful and loves what he is teaching. Not only does he teach whats in the text book but a lot about the culture. The subject can be hard but he teaches it in a way it is easy to understand. He is also very helpful and wants students to learn. I would definitely recommend him!
He is very funny! I wouldnt suggest the class if you do not want to learn. This is not an easy A.He is kind of fast paced.He is very blunt as well! Good class if you are a dedicated student! It helps if you know a little french beforehand.
i LOVED him. He was HILARIOUS. He can be very blunt and he doesnt take ANY nonsense but if you need help he will. I remember when i was so confused with an assignment i called his cell phone and he helped me so much. Attend EVERY class he takes it into consideration when u actually have an emergency. Not too much Homework but def. hands on
best french teacher ever!!! so far i've taken 001&002. he makes french extremely easy to learn and his class isn't that hard to pass if you actually pay attention, do the work, and apply yourself. i would recommend him to everyone and plan on taking all his 003&004 french courses
He was a great professor. He was funny, and he kept us entertained. As long as you pay attention and participate in class, you should get a pretty good grade
Great teacher. Very helpful as long as you attend class. Very understandable. Not to hard if you try. Quizzes super easy. Test are too if you are good at oral comprehension.
His class is extremely easy as long as you show up and participate. He makes learning french really fun. TAKE. HIM!
He's a great teacher, well dressed, and funny. As long as you go to class and try your best there is no reason you won't get an A. He is really helpful and takes the french language serious so he loves when others are interested too. If you can, take his class!
I was a bit put off by him at first, but he turned out to be a great teacher. funny, clear with what he wants, doesnt use the boring textbook, makes learning very interesting with his anecdotes about french life and culture and assignments (which are easy and interesting)
I loved this class. After talking a discouraging latin class I was extremely worried on talking another foreign language. Scotto di Pompeo really helped me gain confidence back. He was very helpful and gives the class an authentic French view on the culture and language. Attendance and participation is a must seriously. HE'S A GREAT TEACHER.
He is a very cool professor....i took him for french 002. however attendance is very important. He is also very helpful so if u can take him, TAKE HIM!!!! You wouldnt regret it
He's one of the coolest teachers I've ever had! He knows what he's talking about. Very organized and extremely helpful if you need it. Make sure you go to class and ask questions and you'll be fine!
He's a really fun teacher. Just do what you're supposed to do in class and he'll work with you. He's always making jokes so class is funny.
TAKE HIM, TAKE HIM....you would not regret one moment of it..he is very helpful but you have to also contribute..Attendance is a must, his quizzes are very easy..just go to class do the work and ull be find
Take Him! I had experience in French prior to taking him but even if i didn't i would have still received an A. Just do the work he assigns because it actually reinforces his lessons and the book is straight forward and easy to comprehend. The final is EASY, just keep your chapter tests and review them and you will be good. also attendance matters!
Take him! His class is really easy, he makes learning French a breeze. His class is fun too
He's a really good professor and really funny you should definitely take him for French
This professor has been such a help in my quest to learn french. Not a A, but I did learn a lot more in one semester than I did in 2 years of high school. The midterm is all oral, so i suggest tutoring for speaking help. The test are fairly easy as long as you STUDY, plus he gives out a review before. The quizzes are very easy, just STUDY.
His class was really fun and interactive. He didnt try and do the most meaning, have us do unnecessary work. His exams are straight forward as long as you know the content. Be on time to class, unless you will miss your quiz lolss, but overall phenomenal professor
He's always very clear. He always grades quizzes and tests in a timely fashion. My advice would be to always be on time. Check ilrn daily. Study when he says to study. Also, don't be afraid to ask questions, he actually wants everyone to do well.
Great Professor, he certainly expects a lot out of his students and is not always willing to compromise. If you are looking of an Easy A this is not the class for you, but if your looking to actually learn the language you should definitely take this professor.
He has a French sensibility, AKA no tolerance for disrespect or slacking off. But if you study, he's easy [make flashcards for the quizzes]. He makes expectations totally clear, and he actually puts grades on Blackboard! You MUST buy the book (about 100 bucks) but you will use it all semester. He's funny, smart, and quite nice to look at, take him.
Professor Pompeo is a great instructor if you are looking to learn the language, work hard, and have fun while doing it. If you out in work, he will notice. Always be on time for his class or you will miss a lot of the quizes. Always check your homework online because, if you dont check online for assignments, you will get a failing grade.
This professor is great! I loved being in his class. If you're taking French take him you won't regret it. I ended up with a high A in the class.
French is a really difficult language to learn in college so no matter if you are a beginner it requires a lot of hard work. He is a good professor if you follow the rules and show up. Do all the assignments and you should get a high grade.
He is an AMAZING teacher. I liked french and had an interest in it before;however, he further grasped my attention. he makes sure you understand and is willing to explain. He is a fair grader and loves when his students grasp the concept. He is a francophone so he has many stories to relate to the lesson and just keep you into the class.
In all honesty, one of best teachers I had this semester as an incoming transfer. Although a strict grader, he gave you plenty of opportunity to earn a good grade. He also understood life happens and tried to help you if you were willing to extend and help yourself. Class was always fun. You're going to smile or laugh at some point during the class
He is a great professor; he gives you all the information you need in order to succeed in his class. The only way you would fail is if you didn't take the class seriously.
He is a really engaging teacher. He is funny and serious about his job. He's cool just don't ask questions that have obvious answers.Show up on time and prepared and study 2xs a week and you'll be fine.
Scotto Di Pompeo is AMAZING!! I had him for French 1 and 2 loved both semesters. He is a wonderful teacher and a delight to be around. He uses Blackboard and ilrn for everything so make sure to have a good internet connection. He also tells us about different Francophone events around the DC area. Great Professor!
If you could take him for all levels of French plz do.He is the best. Everything was done online; quizzes and chapter test..we need more French professors like him...he is so down to earth and he helps you alot so if you dnt understand something go to him...I'm so mad that he is not teaching French 4 next semester..
I took Professor Pompéo for French 2&3 and I absolutely loved it!! He knows his language! The tests are not hard, as long as you read the material given and the quizzes were a breeze! He is very interactive with his students so attendance is MANDATORY! He is also very helpful during his office hours. TAKE HIM!!!
he is such a fun teacher ! and you don't just learn French he tells you all about their culture as well! I loved him so much !! he's the best make sure you take him!!:)
I love him! He's by far one of the best professors at HU. Very funny, engaging, he grades stuff quickly, and his class is a blast. Do the homework, review for tests, and you'll do fine. I had him for French 1 & 2 and I have NO complaints. He's amazing. Love him.
Great teacher! He's fun, funny, and young which makes his class awesome. I haven't had any other professors in the language department, but I'm sure that he's the best. Take him because you won't regret it.
He really gives you the French experience to where the class is extremely interesting and fun. I love how quizzes and tests are all on blackboard too! He's such an amazing teacher. So personal and relatable!
With this professor, you cannot go wrong. He is very fun straight forward with the material and does everything online which is extremely convenient. All you have to do is show up, take notes, and study, so you cannot fail.
This is the best French professor to take on Howard's campus!
In my opinion, he is definitely one of the best French teachers at Howard University. All you had to do was show up, take notes, and make sure that you did the homework assignments along with the tests and quizzes. He made learning French very easy and fun. He's very helpful in whatever you did help in and he's very entertaining during class.
Probably the best French Professor at Howard! The class is very straightforward; go to class, take notes, and do your work. If you're going to take French take Scotto di Pompéo!!
Professor Pompeop is AMAZING! I was nervous about talking French since I took Spanish all through high school, but he made it so easy. Tests, quizzes, and homework are all done online, and they're open book/notes/friends/whatever. All he asks is that you come to class every day. The only way you won't succeed in this class is if you don't want to.
Great professor! Very helpful and wants to see his students do well in his class. He's one of the greatest teachers I've had at Howard!
Best French professor at Howard! Test and quizzes are given virtually which guarantees you an A. Make sure you do all quizzes, tests, and homework. He wants all his students to do well. He makes the class fun. Make sure you go to class or you'll be behind. I refuse to take any other professor for my future French classes.
Best French professor at Howard Yet!!! Really helpful!! He makes learning enjoyable!! His tests are fair and online!! You'll receive no less than a B if you engage!!
Professor Scotto di Pompéo is a great teacher. If youre the type to not pay attention in class,or just not go,then this isnt the class for you because he WILL call you out. Know beforehand that it will cost about $124 for the book and online access. I missed a lot of homework because I didn't have the book.But if youre commit,youll love the class.
By far my favorite professor at Howard! As long as you do your work, pay attention, practice your French and communicate with him you will do just fine. He is very understanding!!
Great professor! He's fun, fashionalble, and very invested in his students. If you want to learn and truly understand french TAKE HIM!! Online tests, quizes, and homework make everything very smooth and easy to focus on the content in class.
I' took this professor for 001 my freshman year & 002 this year, and undoubtedly both times were great. He really works to make sure every student understands and enjoys themselves in class...exactly what's needed for a foreign language. He's also hilarious & extremely smart! I advise everyone to take him if they are willing to work & learn.
this teacher is not hard as long as your willing to work. I've taking him for French 1 2 &3 and have gotten an A each time. homework, quizzes and exams are online. he prepares you for midterms and finals very well. his personality can't help but love it. I believe he's the best French teacher and wish I could've have taken him for French 4
This was my first class with him & I'd say it went pretty well. In class he's pretty helpful, he wants to make sure you understand the material. Also he's a pretty nice person in general & so he brings that positive energy to the classroom. I would definitely recommend him.
Loved him! The best French professor at Howard! He makes the work easy to understand and is extremely helpful. Quizzes and test are online and he's very quick with grading work but he don't take any mess! He's sassy and will give you attitude quick if he has to but take him you'll learn French and love his class
Defintely a big help. Best french teacher at Howard. If you try you will get a good grade.
Prof. Scotto di Pompéo, is a great teacher, he makes sure his students understand the topics, and even though he is a native french speaker, his accent is vey understandable for beginners.
Professor Scott Di Pompeo is the best professor in the foreign language department!!!!!!!! He speaks english very well and it is not hard to understand him. It is never a dull moment in his class and his personality makes you want to come to his class even if you do not feel at your best! TAKE HIS CLASS!
Prof. Paul is the best french teacher at Howard.He speaks English extremely well and does his job properly.He accepts all French vernacular. if you go to class and do you work you will do well.He acknowledges effort. pay attention when he speaks or he will get, rightfully annoyed. If you want any form of success in French take his class.
Had Prof. Pompeo on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and thoroughly enjoyed his class. Not only was he very thorough, he also gave us suggestions for tutoring, and suggested we join the Facebook group he set up. He's a great professor, and you get the added benefit of learning different cultural aspects. He recognizes hard workers. Highly recommended!
Prof. Scotto di Pompéo is hands down the best french teacher at Howard. If you go to class, pay attention, and work hard you will do well.
Attendance isn't mandatory but it does affect your grade. Enjoyed this class and he was very straightforward. Made it very easy to understand.
Easy A!
Best French professor at Howard! Took Spanish in HS, got an F in French my 1st semester at Howard. Waited until I was a senior to take it again and Professor Scotto di Pompéo was the best! I can actually understand French now! All exams and quizzes are online, but the final is written. So, you need to know your stuff!
He is amazing ! Alot of work is done online and he's easy to understand.
I love love love him! One of the best Professors I've had at Howard so far. He is straightforward, all homework, quizzes, and tests are completed online. If you do the work you will get an A. He is soo funny.Take him for any level of French you will not regret it!!
Very straightforward. If you do what is asked including homework and attend class regularly you will get an A. Very great teacher and I recommend him for any level of French.
He is a very great professor! Class is very consistent with exams and test, attendance is a must to do well. Participation also!
If you do your homework, take notes, pay attention in class, and know french then you will do well in this class.
This class is super easy! I literally received an A for French I & II. This is the easiest A of your life as long as you go to class, pay attention (easy to do in his class because he's so animated), and do all the online assignments.
All coursework and tests were online, so you really do get what you give; however, he was always in class to help and easy to contactquick to respond. Great professor.
Pompeo is a great professor. I am taking him again from French 2. He is extremely helpful and wants his students to succeed. However he does not tolerate disrespect or lateness. If you do no try he will not try either. Get on his good side and there is no reason you cannot do well. Attendance is not mandatory but hard to pass without coming.
He is a great instructor!
One of the best foreign language teachers at Howard University. I came in with no knowledge of French, and left with a better understanding than some French 002 students. He makes you not only work for your grade, but makes the journey interesting and fun. I will definitely be in his French 002 class next semester!
The professor was extremely helpful. When learning a new topic he would literally GI around the room and ask everyone a question about the topic in French. He is also really funny, I'm upset his class if already full for next semester.
Helps you establish a very solid base in the French language and culture. Teaches you a wide array of vocabulary compiled with the correct grammar. Teaches you the difference between American and french society while learning French. I enjoyed the class and would take him again. Come to him with the right attitude and he will help you.
He is a great Professor.
Amazing teacher! This professor is so amazing Im taking him again next semester. Super nice and super helpful, but in order to get an A you HAVE to do your homework, but he gives you plenty of time to complete it and you can do it as many times as you want so you can get 100%. Super funny and class is always fun to attend.
One of the comments i read said "attendance isn't necessary" that's not true cause i stopped attending class after spring break due to changes in my job and he gave me a 0% for attendance and participation. Test are hard, you'll need the Homework code and Homework's can be retaken to get 100%. His midterm is Oral and part of Finals is too.
You have to work for your grade. You can't just show up to class and pay attention, you have to study on your own time as well. Scotto di Pompeo tries to get everyone to participate, and will work with you if your struggling. He is very blunt and will put you in your place in a heartbeat, but he has your best interest at heart.
I loved this class. He was amazingly helpful, he gives you many chances! He does not play about attendance, COME TO CLASS! He is very in touch with his culture and he is also in touch with his inner-student, he tries to help you out as much as possible! The class is interesting and never boring! He is also VERY funny! I totally recommend taking him
He's nice. May be a little sassy but he is really open for conversation and active
He's an incredible teacher, and he's hilarious. He'll work with you, but you have to participate! Not a hard class, he posts his notes after every class. Don't forget about HW, it's online and he gives you a week to do each assignment.
He encourage to work with your classmates on exams in the iLab. He also tells you the exact questions he will ask in the oral exam so you can study, effectively.
It's clear he loves to teach and he is great teacher. His classes are interesting. It's an easy A as long as you pay attention during class and do the work. The tests are online as well as the homework assignments and, he recommends you work with classmates on the tests therefore, it's very simple to get an A in the class.
I loved this class. It helps if you took French in high school but all the work is online and he's a straightforward and clear professor.
He's a very nice and intelligent. You come to his class to learn, so if you're not paying attention he will feel disrespected and will ask for your attention. His tests aren't bad either, considering he encourages the class the take the tests as a group. He will correct your french when necessary, but only to help. Lowkey was my favorite class.
Pompeo is a great professor! I absolutely love him. He is extremely funny. I learned a lot in his class. He gives you all the tools to be successful. Do everything he asks you to do and you will pass. He requires ilrn for his class.
I highly recommend taking Prof. Pompéo for French I. You should read the chapter the night before because he teaches the class in French and only stops to clarifyrepeat something if you ASK. You will fall behind if you don't speak up when you are confused. Assessments are online but forgetting to take one will hurt your grade. Attendance matters!
He's honestly a great professor! I took french in high school, but this is much better. I love how he is a native french speaker so he really knows what he's talking about. He's extremely helpful, and will tell you what's on the tests and orals. I hate 8 ams but I took his for next semester because I had to have him again!
He's a great professor and he is uber understanding. He hates excuses and laziness but he is more than willing to help if you ask in ample time. Participation is very important and he does not give a lot of work but it is graded heavily so DO IT!
Great Professor, but have changed completely. Everything used to be online but that isn't the case anymore, and I would have been completely okay with it, if it wasn't a few days before the test, given everything was online in his French 1 class. VERY INTERESTING LECTURES THO. Can make an A just do well on all quizzes and homework
He a pretty Bomb professor. if you are nice and polite to him he will do the same to you. I missed like 3 quizzes and homework which put me at 40% and he excused me from them. It's cause i was polite asl and showed him I was gonna try hard to comeback from that. I ended the class with an A too.
Everything is online, so there's no need to buy the book. The class is not hard but you can't expect an easy A. Show up, do your work, be respectful and you will have no problems. I actually submitted some quizzes late but he accepted them because I came to class and participated.
