Reviews of professor Malick Coly

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
When taking this class just know that you are going to read! As long as you keep up with readings you will ace all quizzes. All you will do in class is discussion. He does grades with very little points and does use attendance so just show up and do the reading!

I'm in French 1 and I find this class extremely difficult. I took French for 4 years in high school and I come to Slippery Rock and I'm barely passing.

He is an okay professor and a tough grader. If you miss one class your participation grade will suffer even if you have an excuse. He never answers emails which are very annoying. He wants you to participate in class so always come prepared. He is a nice person outside the classroom just an average professor.

If you don't know any French this class will be very difficult. I knew enough from high school for this course to be pretty easy, but Dr. Coly is honestly not the best at explaining things. He's really nice, just not the best teacher. Decent amount of homework and quizzes.

Dr. Coly is hard to communicate with over email, but is he a nice guy. He does give random quizzes sometimes, so definitely keep up on the reading (most of his assigned books are actually good reads). Make sure you participate at least once a week to get full credit!

Unless French is your native language, you're gonna struggle hard. He speaks French 90% of the time or more. Expects you to teach yourself. Most of us clearly had no idea what was be said or going on most the time.

Dr. Coly was fine, he is an easy grader. You have to read each novel assigned and write an essay on each, but none were too difficult. Overall, no complaints.
