Reviews of professor Tanya Mushinsky

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I took three years of French in high school, so I took FR101 for a GPA booster. Lots of students struggled in this class. During the semester, the class average on myfrenchlab hovered around 63%. She did not explain trends in conjugations such as endings for -er, -ir, or -re verbs; she also wouldn't translate new concepts into English.

This is the worst professor I have ever had at Alabama. The only reason I was able to pass with an A is because I had 4 years of french coming into the class. She gets nervous/ scared when students ask her questions, makes a ton of mistakes, and can't explain things. Speaking english in class lowers your grade a lot. Avoid her if possible.

She grades a little tough (not so tough that the class is impossible), but she does give great feedback and just wants you to learn. She is a more old-school professor than some of my other French professors, with lectures and strict corrections, but if you want to improve your French, sometimes old-school works. She is really very sweet and caring
