French III Survey: What would you change?

  • The true immersion piece was maginificent.  After that, you gave up...
  • I like that we studied the holocaust, it was very interesting.  I would change more projects and less quizzes or tests.
  • More book work is good.  Even though I don't like the book work it's very helpful in studying the language because it helps me memorize the material.
  • Because everyone didn't like the war, to have a shorter lesson of WWII would be good.  I like WWII but the other students don't like war.
  • I think you play favorites with the students.  We saw that.  This put a bad attitude in the class, and made learning difficult. 
  • I don't want to change the class because I learned a lot of new French. 
  • I would change the projects, like video projects. 
  • I would change the quantity of text to translate.  It was too much.  WWII was too difficult.
  • I would teach a little bit about tthe war a year before French III.  A little in French II and then the rest in French III. 
  • I would change the two objectives in the journal because it's very difficult to think of two objectives.  Also more time for learning new vocabulary.
  • I would change the topic.  i want to learn food.  WWII is very difficult for French III.
  • I would chyange the Second world war for the students next year.
  • French III is good like it is.  the students after me like the class becuase it's very interesting.  STudying a language is very difficult, but you make the class interesting and fun.  Immersion is very weird at first, but after you overcome the difficulty it is is easy.
  • I would make more tests.  More testsmake people work harder and pay attention.  But over all, the class was good.
  • Let the students speak English and have less WWII.
  • I wouldn't change the class, but if I changed the class I would restrict the people in the class.  I want to speak with people who are serious.
  • I would change the quantity of spoken French.  In a French III class it's a bit too difficult, but in a French IV class, it's too easy.
  • For the class next year, I would change the course to have mor projects, and also make the projects more "hands on".  A lot of people like projects and it's easy to make interesting things with your hands.
