Reviews of professor Michael Rolland

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Personally wasn't a fan. He isn't very engaging, but he did transition well into online-learning and was very understanding. He is communicative, but I did feel there was a disconnect from how he taught irl. Expect to self-teach. I wouldn't take him in person tho, his tests turned out way different from the review at times.

He gives ALOT of partner activities which are okay except when you don't really understand what to do, or learn anything from it. He doesn't go over material much, just expects you to do the labs online and learn yourself. If you miss an in class activity, he won't let you make it up (so attend). He teaches as if you already know the language.

In a nutshell, Rolland made this class 10x harder than it had to be. He assigned nearly 2 hrs of hw 2x a week, arrived late, and spent the majority of time making us do group work (which he collects and doesn't grade). We pretty much had to learn ourselves and come into class to do dumb activities. Wish he focused more on reading/writing/speaking.
