Reviews of professor Rachel Watson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Prof. Watson is really an amazing teacher! She is passionate about teaching, cares about students, & introduces interactive games to make learning fun. My French improved drastically and I feel well equipped to be able to converse. I would definitely rate her as one of the best professors at NYU! This class will both challenge & inspire you!!

Professor Watson is delightful. She is really good at engaging the class and creating an environment where everybody feels comfortable to learn. Even though the class was structured around the department textbook, she managed to keep it interesting and even managed to get us to remember obscure things like 'armchair' or 'eggplant'.

I had Rachel as a TA for an NYU Texts and Ideas requirement, and she was an amazing discussion leader and overall presence. Her chosen texts were relevant and interesting (a specific lesson on Rabelais and the grotesque comes to mind), and Rachel's genuine passion and love for English (and for teaching us!) was clear in every single class.

Rachel is a very good professor who did a great job of explaining difficult concepts that we learned about in our readings. She made a conceptually challenging class much better and she's definitely one of my favorite professors I've had at NYU. I wish her nothing but the best

French has always been a hard subject for me but after this class Professor Watson was very accessible
and made sure that I was prepared for the upcoming exams. But she is definitely a bit strict with cell phone policy and lateness. But if you arrive to class on time and participate you won't get a bad grade.

Rachel is one of those professors that enters the classroom and immediately energizes the students. She's so enthusiastic and animated that it's almost impossible not to get equally as excited. Her pacing was appropriate, she kept class activities and lessons interactive and engaging, and she was genuinely interested in getting to know her students
