Reviews of professor Isabelle Exposito-Breden

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I made an easy A in FRE 1010 with a different professor, figured I would be ok for this class and was dead wrong. I dedicated a lot of my time to studying, but the tests are never what she says they will look like. Attendance is mandatory as in you lose points if you dont go but it doesnt help your grade at all.

Mme Breden is a good professor & is very nice. She's from France originally, so knows her stuff and has good cultural knowledge, very interesting. Good extra credit opportunities, usually a quiz and a test per unit. Tests are a mix of short answer, matching, fill in the blank, & multiple choice. HW every night, but easy to do quickly.

I love Madame Breden as a person, but she is very hard on her students. We get a lot of work and though some may say that has its pros and cons, I think my first semester was made very difficult because of the amount of homework she assigned per class period.

The expectation for tests is very unclear. A lot of homework assignments and quizlets, so if don't like busy work don't take this class. The material is not well explained.

She has a confusing course plan. There are so many assignments that it is nearly impossible to keep up. She is nice and caring however and will help you out.

I took this course with no previous knowledge of French. I am usually a good student, but this course had a very heavy course load. Not a lot of the assignments were graded and it was very disorganized. I needed this class for my major, but I had to use a career drop on it. Don't take this class if you don't know any French at all.
