Reviews of professor Margaret Keneman

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Dr. Keneman is a nice woman that cares about her job and students. However, if you want to excel in French grammar and conversation, do NOT take this class. About 75% of the class was spoken in English and I paid $200 for a textbook that I opened maybe 4 times throughout the semester.

Not too difficult as long as you know the basics of French and conjugating verbs. This class is all about conjugation and grammar, so be prepared for that. She's pretty easy because she gets sidetracked easily, and lets you turn in work late if you have to. Not too much homework and no tests, just quick quizzes every so often.

Genuinely a good professor who cares about her students succeeding, so flexible with due dates and extensions. 40% of grade is based on writing compositions which she will revise and grade generously. Midterm and final worth 5% each, and she curves it. Very funny also

She's honestly excellent. It was just me, I just suck at French. Her Email Response: TERRIBLE She does try to help you as much as she can. Will sit with you and go over your mistakes. Let us leave class early sometimes. She's really into partner/group work but, you don't decide who you work with in class, she'll randomly assign ya together.

Dr. K was the BEST French teacher I've had at CofC. She makes things so easy to understand and explains a topic multiple ways if need be. She provides extra material to look at if you need it, and she is very accessible outside of class. I found the class easy and that grades were balanced out, not just based on tests. Highly recommend!

I think she's a good teacher but I do think some french concepts could be explained more. I enjoyed the class because I knew about most of the topics from highschool french classes. The class is homework heavy with your homework doing most of the teaching so you have to be able to put in the work.
