Reviews of professor Sonia Sehil-Scheindlin

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Take this class if you are truly willing to learn the language. She will help if you reach out! She can teach very well, but you will need to focus majority of your time on her homework if you want a good grade. The homework can be time-consuming. Participate and do not skip class because you will miss out on A LOT!!

native speaker, well-organized curriculum/assignments, clear and reasonable expectations. a fair amount of work outside-of-class but no more than to be expected from foreign language. classes are engaging and helpful, never overwhelming. very approachable and kind. go to class, pay attention, do the homework and you will learn and do well.

This professor was by far the worst I have ever taken. She didn't care about any of her students and expected all of her students to know everything. She never answered questions and avoided hearing what students had to say. Her communication is horrifying. You simply can't communicate with her. Please take a different French Professor.

She is tough only because French is a tough language. She will work with you if you are struggling and wants will not do any of those super vindictive French teacher things. There's a lot of online homework assignments, but she is really worth taking. Very nice woman.

If you're serious about learning French and want to enjoy it, take one Professor Sehil-Scheindlin's classes. She loves her subject and communicates it very well to her students. She brings a lot of other elements into her language teaching. You'll learn about French culture, history, politics, food, slang, etc. Always interesting and informative.

You never know your grade in this class, which is super stressful. Adding onto that, she kept telling me I was going to fail. Since I had 0 clue how I was doing I believed her. In complete shock, I received a B, which is VERY different than failing. I was confused, and she caused unnecessary stress. DO NOT TAKE

She is a really good professor have for an introduction level French classes. She is organized, gives good feedback, and gives you room to make mistakes. The exams are long and worth a lot of points, but she offers writing assignments and assigns out lots of online HW. She can be a tough grader at times, but it only encourages you to work harder.

I WAS IN A CLASS WITH ONLY 8 PEOPLE. SHE GEARED THE COURSE TOWARDS THIS, SHE WAS NOT THAT HARD ON US AND REALLY HELPED OUT INDIVIDUALS. SHE WAS NICE ENOUGH. I THINK WHAT WAS THE BEST WAS THE HOMEWORK LOAD. COMPARED TO OTHER FRENCH CLASSES NO HOMEWORK AT ALL. ONLY THE ONLINE EXERCISES AND THEN A COMPOSITION HERE AND THERE. SHE DIDNT GIVE ORAL EXAM.
