Reviews of professor Cedric Briand

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He's funny and nice. His tests were way harder than I expected and the written homework's are graded really harsh but there wasn't that many of either. He won't be my first choice again but definitely a solid backup. Also it wasn't an option but I was in 112 not 232

He uses class discussions to work on French and won't mind if you don't know how to say something. This lets him help you express your ideas in French, and he values quality ideas for the midterms. He creates an environemnt of learning and reflection, so this is a good class to prioritize learning and improvement, not grades, in. Good

Prof. Briand was great! While there was definitely a lot of homework, he always made sure students knew how to do it and provided ample opportunity to make it up if it was missed. He went out of his way to always be kind to students and helped all of us with our accents significantly. My confidence in French grew a lot after his class!

He was kind of disorganized and opinionated. That being said he was still a fair grader and turned out to be friendly by the end of the semester.

Interesting and caring prof. Orals and midterms/finals are graded easily, homework is practice for the exams and is graded much harder. He appreciates people who participate in discussions. Out of class activities requirement is a lot, try to get it done before December. Overall, great class, learned a lot, would take again.
