Reviews of professor Stephanie Palisse

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Palisse is very kind, but her tests are really hard for people who are only at a grade 12 level of French, especially in terms of listening comprehension.

took her course in sem1. I'm a 1st year from french immersion 12, there was overlapping concepts from gr12. I'm sure the class would have been a lot better if it was irl, but it didn't translate well online. You have to participate for marks, and she gets (understandably) upset when the class doesn't. Assignments were a little confusing too.

The organization is so confusing. I get that she wants us to participate and wants us to learn a lot. Still feel like she doesn't explain the concepts that clearly and makes us pretty much learn everything on our own!

Mme Palisse is a lovely professer. She is helpful, kind and makes any 9 am class zen and enjoyable. She is very French and knows exactly what she is talking about at all times. The course is fun as there are many group tasks and many opportunities to engage and really practice the language.

I took this course before they switched the codes, now this is a 300 level course i believe. To be honest, I was not a fan because I found the instructions to be somewhat unclear and inefficient. I always had to "look around" when it came to completing assignments and studying. And Stephanie, though nice, I found she became easily frustrated.

This is my second course with Palisse and I can't be happier. Compared to my prof in FREN 122 and 123 who does not show up on time or teach us properly, I learn a lot from Palisse. I feel like she is really clear with her deadlines and instructions, but just some students in the class don't know how to be organized and complain about her

She seems like a nice person however her lectures are so dry. She expects you to just know what's going on. Her canvas page is very confusing and it's difficult to find out what assignments you actually have to get done. She is also very passive aggressive when answering questions, I did like having synchronous and asynchronous classes though.

She is organized and provides feedback on time, but that also means that she expects you to do the same. The tests are a bit difficult for this level, and assignments get high but usually not full scores. I guess that's the course's policy to keep the average around high 70s and yet not have people getting 90s which is a bit unnecessary imo.

I understand that the transition to online classes has been difficult for everyone but she is beyond confusing in terms of her canvas page. I never know what's going on and the whole class has expressed their frustration and stress in our group chat. She is passive-aggressive and it makes me scared to speak out. Very unclear with instructions.
