Reviews of professor Jarek Howell

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He is really interactive and really wants you to learn the material. He answers emails really quick, and if you don't understand something for an upcoming test he will email you some extra practice and helpful tips. Difficult class mainly because it's a different language but he made it as easy as possible!

This was my second semester taking M. Howell, hes seriously great and obviously loves teaching french. This is a foreign language so you NEED to show up to class, but if you miss a quiz he always lets you take it when you get back. His study guides are extremely helpful.

Mr. Howell was a great teacher. He explains the concepts well and is very accessible by email or during office hours. He gives lots of extra credit and is a lenient grader on tests. He's a huge help and knows what he is talking about. I would 100% take him again.

M. Howell was an awesome instructor. He was always available to help and truly wanted his students to succeed. His lectures were very informative and he taught the material in a good fashion. French never felt challenging with M. Howell. I would highly recommend him. He exemplifies what I consider an instructor who is very passionate.

I loved this class. Jarek pushes you but doesn't overwhelm you. He's totally understanding of your skill level and gauges the class accordingly. He gives out lots of bonus points and study material. As long as you show up, participate, and give it your best effort, you'll do fine.

He's very lenient and gives you all the help you could ever want--you just have to ask for it. The lectures are straightforward, and while a tad boring, do help in the long run. I never felt stupid in this class because Howell was kind in his corrections, which I can't say for all language teachers I've had.

I had M. Howell for FREN 1003 too and absolutely loved him ! It you are not the best at learning foreign languages, take him!! He is very nice and cares. He is one of the best instructors I have had in my college career so far. If you go to class and study a fair amount, the class is a breeze. The final is worth a majority of your overall grade.

About as difficult as you can expect a foreign language to be, but aided by the fact that he wants to see you succeed. Occasional jokes really lighten the mood, only serious about grading but is fair. LOTS of homework, which contributes to overall grade a bit. Put in the effort, and you'll pass.

One of the best foreign language professors I've had. Attendance is mandatory and you do get graded on participation, but he lets you know about quizzes before hand and explains difficult material well. Gives bonus when he can, and tries to be lenient when grading.

Great teacher! He gives feedback and grades pretty fast. He's pretty clear on all the material and if you need help just let him know!
