Reviews of professor Karim Simpore

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
If you take a Simpore class, kiss any passion you had for French goodbye. He does not lecture, and has not even bothered to give us a syllabus. We do not get feedback on our grades and have one day of warning before a test. He is not a competent professor, and we'd all be lucky if he was fired.

The difficulty of this class wasn't even from the material - it was from how Simpore teaches. He does not make his expectations for you clear and does a poor job communicating deadlines, schedule changes, and did not follow the calendar he provided in the syllabus - but didn't tell us he had deviated from it. I didn't learn much because of this.

Dr. Simpore was a great professor. I learned a lot from his French III course and felt like his teaching style helped me retain the information well. Be sure and pay attention in class because he will randomly call on people.

I was one of ten students to take Simpore's French 2 course during the 5 week summer term. The content was accelerated threefold but Prof didn't seem to care. Prof interacted with students only via email and demonstrated an unwillingness to conduct video lectures (recorded or live) or office hours Zoom conferences. DON'T ENROLL DURING COVID!
