Very moody, but still and excellent educator!

Tough but fair, native French speaker

She's tough but really helpful and friendly ... i recommend her to who is serious about the subject only. by the way, she is a good friend too.

She is a good teacher but very moody

She was hard but hott as.......damn she was hott. With that french accent umm! i want some of that

Moody; if she doesn't like you, she'll give you a hard time and bad grade for the semester. Good teaching technique. Her grading system is excellent; you can still pass even if your tests are bad.

She's got a great sense of humor and loves to entertain while teaching. She is the best foriegn language teacher I've ever had. But, she's very serious about the French culture, so don't talk bad about the FRENCH!

Pay attention in class..this is your best learning resource. She is rude/moody when people make mistakes in French. If possible see the tutor Marie-France

She is best of the best. I reconended for the people who want to learn....the egyptian guy

Truly she is moody, but most people dont like her cuz she is not easy, but the truth is she is a great teacher and she is very nice. If you respect her she will respect you more. I recomend her to people who really want to learn. Other than that good luck she will be on your case if you wana be smart with her.

She is a great teacher with a lot of zeal. She makes class fun, and at times she lets loose herself. She is moody at times, but I think it has more to do with cultural differences. I will deffinitely take her again, and I recommend her. She is very sweet outside of the classroom setting, and helpful. Whatever one wants from a class one will get.

I like her a lot. she is very helpful and makes the class enjoyable and she preally pushes you to do better.

Rosemarie is a great professor, but her teaching style is different. She is very willing to help and her class is very fun. It is a hard class, but you get a lot out of it. This class isn't for everyone. You either love her or hate her. I loved taking French with Rosemarie. I got a B and learned a lot.

Not as mean as I thought she would be. She liked to laugh and have fun, but she tends to be rigid and conservative. She is just someone who is set in her ways. I thought the class material was really easy. It is all out of the textbook and the tests only cover a small portion of what we learn. I am taking her for French 2.

Basically a continuation of French 1. We used the same textbook. She has lightened up a lot over the time I have known her. She is very nice but tends to go over things quickly when you have a question. She does give a lot of homework. Tests are from the publisher. Well, here I am taking her for French 3.

Really nice, friendly. Wants students to succeed. As Nothing good comes easy,she really make u work hard for ur grades. An excellent person in and outside class. I highly recommend her, If u really want to learn. If u want an easy way, I suggest u take someone else cos u aint having it with her. Extremely helpful, toughtful, and fun. Like her a lot

She is like the french audrey hepburn! she comes to class singing and smiling EVERY DAY. The sweetest prof on EARTH! However, the class is REALLY HARD. Tons of howework n quizzes. She's expecting u to work 'cuz she REALLY DOES, and she's ALWAYS willing to help, xtra credit, office hours etc. Do not blame on her, make like a tree and STUDY!

Good teacher tries hard to help and passionate about her views, which is hard to come by anymore; good teacher, and good person.

She is a Great Teacher! If you want to LEARN French ? take her. If you are looking for an EASY CLASS ? find someone else.

Have to work had to pass the class. Do not hope for an easy ride. She will be a great professor to you if you are willing to learn and work hard at it.

She was a pretty good teacher but she seemed to get angry a lot. Make sure you keep up with her and all her hw if you take the hybrid class. I had so much hw but its not too bad once you get used to it. Overall she was a good teacher and I ended up with a B in her class.

Rosemarie is one of the strictest teachers I've ever had. And she's the best teacher I've ever had. You WILL learn in her class, and you WILL do well. She is impatient with idiots and slackers, but treats those who do well, well. Are you serious about learning French? Take her class.

Excellent teacher, very friendly and funny! I took with her Fre-1 in fall 2011. I got A+. She is the best teacher I ever had. I highly recommend her. Do your homework and lab on time and you will have an A in her class.

This is one of the best professors I've ever had. She's energetic, reasonable, flexible. She also has a great sense of humor and she made the lecture become lively and intriguing all the time. Last but not least, with great understanding, she is super generous in giving extra points and chances to earn more extra points.So stand up for your chance.

AMAZING!! She is so adorable & has a nice sense of humor! She can be a little edgy but it really is for your own good, she wants the class to feel the same passion for the french language as she does. And have a good understanding of it as well. The lectures are very interactive and she makes every activity a group thing. If you love French,take it

Great French professor, just do the work and you'll be fine.

Shes the only french teacher, if u dont understand something and ask a ? she'll most likely put u on the spot. Shes an okay teacher. Just do all the work. ON TIME. She gives extra credit, if she likes the class.

I loved her! I took her French 1 class and learned so much from her. Yes, she is a bit temperamental and very strict but the point is that you learn. If I could give any advice is stay on track and do ALL of your work regardless of the quantity--There is a lot. If you keep up with your homework, reading, and labs you will breeze right by.

If you do all your homework and come to class everyday you will be fine. This teacher is tough but she will work with you and makes sure you understand it. She dropped the lowest test grade for everyone in my class and the lowest lab grade. If you are really interested in learning french def take this class.

She a chill teacher. She got mad at our class a lot because we wouldn't be prepared and study our vocab. But other than that you should do fine if you are motivated. It is a Hybrid class so do expect a lot of Hw.

excellent teacher

GREAT TEACHER! she is a little hard, but then again you do learn a lot of french. just do all your work and study for tests and you WILL PASS plus you will be able to understand the french language after that class

Brilliant teacher. Expects a lot from her students. So, do your lab, centro, online work, and you will get an A. Don't miss any of these assignments since they are worth much. She is very cute, even when she raises her voice! Love her!

She is amazing!! Like everyone else already said, you will actually learn in this class! Learning any language can be difficult but she is very helpful and overall an amazing teacher!

She is very helpful in class and during lab hours. the only way to pass is to do the hmwk, lab, pass quizzes (similar to online hwmk), and take the time to study the vocab./grammar. she gives extra credit if you participate and it will go toward your quizzes and midterm. she will get mad if you aren't prepared for class.

If you do your work, this class should be very easy. French is not the most difficult language in the world; it just takes practice. She is helpful in class and tries to get you to learn it better, just participate and it'll make sense. She can come off as a bit bi-polar. Must be a personality trait. Other than that she is very nice and helpful.

She is a great professor! However, there is a lot of material to cover and you have to teach yourself some material if you want to stay on top. Grading is rigid, but an A is possible if you work for it. Participation in class is a must in this course and if you have trouble with public speaking or volunteering to speak, you may want to reconsider.

Best teacher I've had at RCC. Really helps out a lot it's a pretty to the point course If you pay attention and go to class, lab 1 hour a week difficult but do able. Gives you the answers to quizzes before quiz since it's just the online homework. Absolutely love her, very interesting and very up beat. I definitely recommend her class.

One of the best teachers I have ever had! definitely makes you work for your grade but does the best of her abilities to help you achieve that. Amazing lectures, very funny, keeps you interested. Very hands on in her teaching style. I would recommend Mademoiselle Sarkis to anyone interested in taking french.

Took her for French 1 and she was wonderful, I've read a lot of reviews saying she can be mean but who wouldn't be if you are prepared or even care. Funny teacher, very helpful and even lets you turn in homework late, easy test everything is homework. Just wish we practiced the actual speaking more.

Professor Sarkis is a real gem to say the least. Her teaching style is fun and informative, but be prepared to read and study outside of class (especially if you take her 8 week class like I did). The text book is mandatory, buy it ASAP! If you are not up to date on the reading she will call you out for not knowing the material assigned!

Great teacher. The workload is somewhat heavy, but the exercises have a purpose and help you understand the concepts really well, if you're willing to put in the time. She places a lot of emphasis on writing and forces you to participate in class, so always come prepared. In general, she's very nice and charming and makes the class really fun.

Let me start this off by saying she is a wonderful, caring professor. She's quite funny as well. However, she uses an online only textbook that she wrote and majority of it is scrambled or, sometimes, unusable. If you take her class, make sure you're very serious about learning French otherwise you WILL NOT pass. Do your labs. Ask questions.

I love Professor Sarkis, I took her years ago in 2014 and I still remember what I learned from that class. She makes you work for it, no doubt about it but she really wants her students to learn. The lab was lengthy and it takes time but you have to get it done. Show up everyday and participate! You will be reading in French sooner than later!

A very caring teacher! She really wants students to learn better and gives a lot of extra credits. I chose an 8-week class and was not so stressful. However, students need to buy an online book and do preview in advance. Be careful, few students got As in the class I was in.

Didn't speak a lick of French going into her accelerated 8 week class. Forgot most of what I learned after I passed the class, but I still know more than I did going in. The lectures were kind of hard to follow, because instruction was given in French not English. Do the homework to study before quizzes, and try to memorize vocabulary.

Madame Sarkis is the sweetest French teacher I've met. She is caring and wants you to pass. Homework is a little excessive regarding the amount but not hard; if you're organized you can do it no problem. Quizzes are not hard and sometimes she allows for group quizzes. Participation gets you points which you can use on the final. Overall, good prof.

I took four years of French in HS. My HS French teacher was 10x more difficult than Ms. Sarkis. I took her French 1 class online, and I'll admit, it was easy. Just read your textbook, do your homework, and show up to a lecture or two for tests. Approach her respectfully about mistakes in the book, and send her screen shots of the problem.

Great professor, but there are improvement areas. First, you MUST buy the book, since it is those platforms where you have the content and the HW. There are quizzes right after finishing 3-4 lessons and it is important to memorize the vocabulary. The labs are lengthy but ok, i took around 30-50 minutes each. If you really want to learn French, go:)
