Reviews of professor Stephanie Palisse

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Palisse gave very organized and clear lectures. She worked hard to make the subject matter interesting and explained grammar concepts very well. If you're taking her class, be prepared to participate lots and do group work. She's also super friendly, would recommend!

Mme Palisse is such a sweet prof with a genuine concern for her students. I felt like her course forced me to improve my French expression and writing because of the heavy participation - but how else can we improve/learn the language right? Her course is not an easy one, but she really does tries her best even with having things online

I wasnt in French Immersion and it was intimidating at first (took 224 and 225) to participate, but once you get past your fears, she notices that youre trying and will help you! Dr. Palisse goes above and beyond for the class by providing resources, tips, and helpful advice! Do the textbook hw and youll do as well as the French Immersion kids:)

She's quite approachable and effective as a prof. It's a good course but I would note that if you're the kind of student who struggles to raise their hand in class, I'd recommend one of the more writing-based courses as this one includes a lot of presenting and talking in front of others. She's really kind and keeps the course interesting.

Material itself isnt hard, she just doesnt teach it very well. I'm teaching myself everything in this class. She's unorganized, there are a billion assignments worth very little each. Too many things to do and unclear expectations. Also passive aggressive and just has a bad attitude. Maybe she's better in person, but online? never again

Honestly, if you're not the type of person who is confident enough to speak FLUENTLY in French (like me) good luck :((. Her first test was lowkey really hard... it was very time-sensitive! 8 multiple choice and 5 mini paragraphs based on the text? something like that... Planning to Withdraw from course...

I found this course oddly confusing. The grading criteria was very unclear and there were a huge amount of small graded assignments that were very difficult to keep track of. Another problem I had was that even though it was an introductory course, the lectures, textbooks, and canvas page were all completely in French. I don't recommend.

This class may have been good with the in-person variant, but the online version is disorganized and stressful. There are a million little assignments worth credit (ex,5%,8%) and that becomes very stressful to wrap your head around and keep track of when you are taking other demanding course. The professor is visibly disappointed in us due to this.
