Reviews of professor Rachel Willis

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Willis is a great French teacher. She is passionate about what she teaches and really wants the students to speak french to the level that she does. I started in French 2001 from taking AP in High School, so I was ahead of some other students. She can be difficult, but if you know the language you will breeze through.

Professor Willis is the best professor. She makes going to class enjoyable, especially since it was online due to COVID-19. Her feedback is really clear and allows you to make improvements for the future. She's also super funny and tries to make class a little different each day so it's not the same old lecture every day. TAKE HER CLASS IF YOU CAN.

Dr Willis is an amazing french teacher. Her Conversation et Composition class is so fun and the discussions were always interesting and engaging. She really cares about her students and give good feedback in class and on assignments. There were short essays due every week but they were not hard. Definitely take her if you can shes awesome!

Elizabeth was the first French teacher I had at DU and I was scared out of my mind. I tested into 1003 but was put into her 2400 class and I could not be more grateful. It was intimidating, but Elizabeth (that's what she goes by) made it so much more comfortable. She really helped me learn and inspired me to get a major in French along with Psych

She is such a great teacher! She places more of an emphasis on ideas and trying your best rather than absolute perfection like some other teachers in the department. So you won't get a terrible grade if you make just a few mistakes. And she is so nice and engaging in her lectures. I also love her Quebec perspective and canadian french!
