hard but a good teacher

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Mme. Dana was one of the best teachers I've had at Emory. She was very hard at first but I can honestly say I improved my french writing skills tremendously because of her. She makes you work for it, but really cares about her students. Don't be scared off the first day! She is a tough grader and there is a lot of work, but it will be worth it.

Dr. Dana is one of the most demanding professors I've had at Emory, but also one of the best. She is available for discussions and help outside of class time and genuinely cares about making students improve. My French skills all improved drastically through taking her class, especially writing.

I was intimidated by Dr. Dana at first because she only spoke French in class, but she is one of the best instructors I've had! My French-speaking improved SO much, and I'm a lot more confident now. Also, my writing drastically improved and in my other courses in English too. She is very accessible and really cares about her students ��

Dr. Dana is an amazing teacher, but only if you let her. A lot of students are afraid of making mistakes, so they get hurt when she blatantly points them out, but she is honestly just trying to help you improve your French. As long as you are not afraid to speak and participate in class, you should learn a lot from her.

FREN 313 with Dr. Dana was amazing. She genuinely cares so much about what we learn about and about us as students too. It was very intimidating to only speak French, but I improved SO much because of this. Our class was very discussion-based but it was from questions we wrote ourselves, which made me know what to expect.

Dr. Dana is an incredibly caring teacher, the best type of person to teach during a pandemic. There is a LOT of writing and collaboration work, but you definitely get better at French. I don't know if I'd take this class during the pandemic, unless it's one of 4 classes. It was really stressful, but I learned a lot!

Dr. Dana is truly one of a kind. Do not be scared to speak french, just enjoy the class and this unique professor. She genuinely cares about the students and her character makes the class very enjoyable. You still learn a lot! Your french speaking and writing skills will improve for sure.
