He's really interesting, funny, really loves the subject. I liked his teaching style a lot. Take his course!

Dr. French is a great teacher. I really enjoyed the class and would like to take more classes from him

Pretty easy class, just read the stuff and you will get an A. Lectures are not bad, even for someone as right wing as I.

I LOVE DR. FRENCH!!! He is so great. Class is interesting and lectures are clear and funny. And he's super super nice. Really great. For sure take him

very knowledgable, helpful, entertaining, and super nice. will definitely take another one of his courses.

dr. french is such a badass. seriously, he is a rebel theologian who always has an interesting light to shine on current events, etc. if you are a progressive liberal, you will love him. if not, he may convert you.

He was one of the hardest teachers I ever had. Really MAKES you think and work for your grade. I lOved hiM!

By far, one of the best professors I have ever had. He is extremely liberal...never a bad thing. He goes the extra mile each and every class. Take him!!!

He goes on tangents during his lectures and can be hard to follow. He is a funny guy. But I spent $100 on books for his class. Midterm was a little hard but easy papers to write.

French is one of the best teachers I've had at LUC so far. I wanted to go to lectures because he made them funny, interesting and relative, the reading was pretty interesting, and the tests,papers and quizzes are fair. Take any classes you can from French

If you do the reading, the class is the easiest class ever. Dr. French is so laid back and just goes with the flow. I took as an elective and it was one of the easiest classes I have ever had.

I never skipped his class, even when I was waiting for the phone call that would determine my future. Absolutely amazing professor, fabulous class, and just an all around good time. Take him Take him TAKE HIM!

Very good teacher, very left wing but still good. Only real complaint is there is a mountain of books needed for class, just read it and you will get an A

I've had Dr. French for several courses - he is engaged and very passionate about his field. Can be unorganized (late to class, not sure where to go in a lecture, changes when things are due), but has a lot to offer for Social Theology.

His lectures are interesting and funny! midterm and test (study guide) are easy as can be if you can memorize. Great class, i learned alot. no attendence and take good notes.

An absolutely fabulous professor! One of my all time favorites. Truly passionate and knowledgeable. Take his class! Engaging lectures that keep you so interested!

Dr.French is a very nice and help teacher, who gives clear lectures. the midterm is not hard but he is a hard grader and expect a lot of information. But he takes long time to grade quizzes, exams, papers...

He is such a sweet professor. He is passionate about the earth. He showed me another view of the world by the way of theology and philosophy. He relatively easy except you need to read about 5 books, but they are thin and fast reads. I highly recommend!

Great teacher, very knowledgable and passionate. TONs of reading...tough grader

Class was interesting for the whole semester. Somewhat disorganized. I'm a conservative who liked this liberal class a lot. Grading is not bad, tests are not bad. Did not do the readings, but used study guide for tests. French is a good guy, funny, and he cares. Not trying to make your life hard.

be sure to keep up with the reading. he has quizzes almost every week on a chapter he assigns, they're short, but can affect your grade. french is very passionate about his teaching and adds his own funny annedotes to lectures.

Best professor ever! You never get bored because he is so excited about everything. Tests are not hard just study the questions he gives you, they are exact! He just picks a few out of them and plus one major essay question which is not hard if you did the study guide. I recommend him to all.

good professor. kind of crazy, and likes to go off on tangents--but he is rather enjoyable. tests not too bad at all. lectures boring at times, but it was an interetsting class and i learned a lot! do your readings!

awesome awesome awesome

A wonderful professor, and a brilliant man. Show up to class not because you will fall behind but because they are fun and will make you think. May seem repetitive in his arguments, but that is part of his brilliance because most of the stuff he talks about, although varied in topic, all relate to the same basic structures of society.

This class is so easy! I only skimmed the books and answered a few study guide questions 2 days before the midterm and final and got an A. He's an easy grader when it comes to papers and theres really only 2 of them. Quizzes are a breeze and his lectures are interesting (even tho they sometimes have nothin to do w/ the readings) Very little work.

Dr. French is a professor who cares for his students though he won't always know your name. He does re-emphasize important points but it's because they are important. He will always stay after to explain things and give insights. A real joy to have for a professor.

Meh, French is a cool guy but the subject is really impossible to make interesting as much as he tries. He has funny tangent and cgood stories, but truth be told I didn't understand what the class was about on the last day of school so take that for what it's worth.

Oh French...he is an amazing person & prof. I loved this class even though he was kinda boring but French found away to make religion easy to understand. It was nice because the class was not shoving Christianity down your throat. I miss going to class and listening to him talk. Easy grader can talk and get a better grade on midterm. TAKE HIM!!

Few Quizzes, Two Tests, and a six page paper. Really easy if you only do the readings. Don't even have to go to class.

Few Quizzes, Two Tests, and a six page paper. Read, don't go to class. All the stuff he asks of you is from the readings.

Loved this class and prof! Need to do a little reading or skimming, go to class, lectures are very interesting. Did not think Theology could be so relevant. Sweetest prof I have met at Loyola so far! Take this class!

French sometimes gets off topic and goes on tangents but teaches very interesting things. A great theo course if you don't want to focus on religion. Reading is interestingâ??first time I learned and understood the Bosnian War. Grades are fair, he's very lax and allowed me to turn in my paper late with no penalty despite what the syllabus said.

Prof. Bill French was one of my main Theology Profs in the mid-late 80's. Took 3 courses with him. I considered him a mentor and always enjoyed his classes. He is a true academic with good practical knowledge.

I have had 4 courses with French including a Tutorial. He is the most engaging Prof at Loyola and always has me laughing. The number of people who do not miss class affirms this. Wish he taught more upper level classes.

This class requires you to read a lot of books and articles; however, you learn a lot from it. 4 quizzes, 1 is dropped. Mid-term, final, and a paper. He goes over much of the the readings, so it is helpful to attend class. The essay portion on the exams is not easy and requires intensive understanding of the readings. It is possible to get an A.

William French is one in a million. His lectures are extremely interesting and are about relevant topics. Although he may seem opinionated, he throughly defends his standing points on issues and accepts student criticism well. Attending class is not necessary, but you just might want to. Great personality; highly recommend.

Only teacher I have rated. TAKE HIM! Professor French is honestly so nice, his class is really chill, he goes over all of the readings in class and highlights the main points you should have picked up on. He is a very quirky guy but he grows on you! He took us on a fieldtrip to the zoo just because. He is hilarious without even trying! Easy A.

Really chill class. The only reading you have to do are the ones that concern his T/F quizzes (which can be challenging even if you read and take notes). Lectures were sometimes dry, but I liked French. I laughed in most classes. He allowed us to write a letter for our final paper, which was cool. I'm sad our "field trip" was cancelled.

Very knowledgeable in the subject matter he is teaching. He keeps the class engaged in the lectures. I took this class on line and would defiantly take another online class with him again. Fair grader and willing to work with you.

Definitely a good choice for an ethics core professor. Lectures were a little disorganized, but not impossible to follow. Assigns articles and reading from books which are interesting and related to his lecture material. Gives true/false quizzes on the readings. One midterm and final exam. Had to write one final paper. Overall a good class.

Professor French is honestly amazing. He is a really intelligent guy and is so passionate about what he is teaching. I wasn't expecting to like Theology, but I ended up really enjoying the class. Make sure to take notes during his lectures: he really drives home the main points of the readings. Also make sure to do the readings for his quizzes.

French is the best!! He has really funny, engaged lectures but he doesn't use PPTs so be ready to listen! There are a lot of readings, but he details the most important parts of each reading in class so I got away with not reading everything by taking close notes and showing up. 2 tests, 1 paper, quizzes. (FYI he's liberal and non-religious)

French is a great professor. He is really funny and engaging. The only thing you need to do in this course to get an A or B is the readings. DO ALL THE READINGS. 4 QUIZZES, MIDTERM, FINAL AND PAPER. The bad thing about this course is that midterm paper and final are 30% each so dont screw up. The course is interesting and relevant and he is nice.!

He's really funny, caring, and adorable but you have to read all the material because the quiz and test questions can be tricky.

Honestly one of the greatest professors I've ever had! He's extremely caring and passionate about the material. He makes the class enjoyable and this makes you appreciate the material being covered. I absolutely loved this class! There is a decent amount of reading involved but it was interesting in my opinion and definitely expanded my knowledge.

French is an amazing professor. he's super engaging and funny, and he really makes you excited to go to class. his quizzes are a little tough, but the tests are easy and he grades papers leniently. definitely take him!

Lectures aren't really organized in a specific manner and WF often goes on (funny) political tangents. Lots of readings but necessary to grasp in order to do well on the few grades there are. Restates a lot of what he finds "important" from various readings which will likely show up as essay questions on exams. Boring content, cool guy, not bad

WF is all around a good prof but his lecture style can be difficult to follow as he goes off on tangents and writes irrelevant words or pics on the board. Lots of reading but you have to read in order to do well on T/F quizzes. Quizzes were a bit difficult & very specific. Final paper and final exam were not too bad but it was a lot of material.

One of the best professor Ive had at Loyola so far! French is incredibly caring and genuinely wants his students to do well. I took his J-term online class and it was a lot of work but he does a really good job of breaking it up and clearly explaining the material. He is hilarious and always makes the class brighter.

I loved French as a prof. He was energetic and funny. I found the class super interesting, but if you have little interest in the subject then the lectures will not be for you.

I strongly suggest this professor as you learn more about life and not just the course material. I respect him very much and wish I could take him for my tier two theo courses.

He is an angel. Such a smart loving guy who knows so much and makes theology interesting. I would take him again in a heartbeat.

French is a really nice professor, but is the worst at answering his emails. I haven't been able to get into contact with him at all during the semester, except in class. He also sends lengthy emails sometimes, but they are genuine! Make sure to ask questions and engage!!

Peace Studies covers a lot of ground and all of it is interesting. He's a very left-leaning professor but is willing to have debates and be proven wrong on the things he says. You take 10 reading quizzes and get to drop the worst one. If you listen to the lectures, you don't really need to do the readings for exams/discussion.

Go to class, stay engaged, contribute to discussions and he'll love you. French is extremely knowledgeable and a great lecturer, hard not to like unless you completely disregard the class. 100% would take him again.

Prof. French is such an amazing guy! He is super caring and very funny! The one thing I disliked about this course was his disorganized lectures, they were extremely hard to follow. He doesn't use any slides, so it's just writing on the board, and it's hard to know what will be important for the exams. Weekly quizzes, 2 exams, and a paper!

French is lecture-heavy and sometimes his lectures don't make the most sense because he is passionate about what he teaches and gets off track. Assigns lots of books but if you read them you should be fine. he is sweet and interesting. knows a lot about the world and it is inspiring to listen to him. hard grader but won't fail you just show up

My opinion of French changed a lot throughout the semester. I originally didn't like him, but he has grown on me a lot and I appreciate his class a lot. He isn't afraid to ask tough questions and discuss difficult ethical topics. I would take him again, he is funny and very very smart. He is what you would expect out of a good college professor.

Dr. French is a really entertaining lecturer who is passionate about class topics. There are few grades in the class, but I would consider him a fair grader. He is somewhat unorganized which can take some getting used to, but you can tell he really cares about student success. A relatively easy honors capstone if you go to class and are engaged.

i didn't like his teaching style but it grew on me. french is very passionate about what he teaches and stopping by after class ends to discuss what he talked about in class (even if its just your opinion) he will instantly remember and like you. he is a tough grader on papers so study and read the books/

I love this guy. Genuinely such a sweet professor and you can tell he loves what he does. There's not much structure to classes, so if that bothers you I'd look elsewhere. Weekly quizzes and papers but no midterms or final. He just wants discussion and engagement. Classes are usually smaller, too, so he'll get to know you and look out for you.

Really enjoyed Dr. French's class! He's very entertaining and passionate about what he teaches. This course has shaped my perspective of the world and has made me reconsider preconceived notions. There are weekly quizzes and short (400-500 word) essays which are time-consuming but not ridiculously hard. He has a great sense of humor and is lenient
