Reviews of professor Sarah-Kay Hurst

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Easily one of the best French professors. She is so caring and is always available to schedule office hours. She will do everything to help you improve your French. She is so understanding and I always looked forward to her class as it was one of the most fun lectures to attend, she always had fun games to make learning grammar easier and fun.

She goes to great lengths to make this class engaging and interactive. Madame Hurst teaches you a lot while making it all digestible and exciting. If you're looking for an advanced French class where you don't feel overwhelmed, then take this class. She takes her students on field trips, and she is flexible with deadlines. Decent amount of work.

Great prof! So kind, flexible, enthusiastic, and helpful! My only issue with the class was that the tests were HARD. Very little time to do a very long exam (around 5 pages), complete with an essay section at the end. I could NEVER finish on time which caused me a lot of stress, but she grades very leniently so it worked out. Take her if you can!

Professor Hurst is so kind and knowledgable. Be sure to take notes on the grammar pages assigned for homework so you know what's going on in class. She doesn't really lecture, but rather encourages participation in discussions that help teach course concepts which is really nice. She also releases the format of tests beforehand so you can practice.

Professor Hurst always entered class with a smile on her face and she was always accessible whenever I needed help on any of my assignments. There was more grammar than I expected in this class but she is very organized and efficient in grading/providing feedback.

Madame was great and always made sure to go over homework in class. While I definitely put a lot more time into French work this semester than others, I feel like I learned a lot. She was also very accessible via email and gave students the virtual textbook for free. I wish I could take her next semester.

I loved having Prof Hurst this semester! There is a fair amount of homework and frequent assessments, but my French has improved significantly. She is extremely enthusiastic, passionate, and caring. She is so accessible and will respond to emails almost instantly. Definitely recommend for any French course.

She's literally incredible. She wrote the textbook all the french 1004's use and is so patient/kind. Best french experience I've had thus far

(COVID) taken pass/fail; felt like a dumbed down AP French class, i got a 5 and still had to take it for some reason. Personally not a great exp. w her, she was pretty rude and inconsiderate about absences when I was sick with COVID and other. Too many pointless grammar tests which made me feel dumb and WAYYY too much homework for an online class
