Therese Banks
The course is fast paced but it is worth it and you'll develop your skills very fast. Just keep up with the homework and pay attention in class as well as contribute to discussions and you will gain a lot from this course.
Prof Banks is very knowledgeable and punctual. She explains grammar well and is flexible with homework. However, make sure you submit it on time. Once she gives you a 0, she might forget to remove it ;)
Professor Banks is very knowledgeable and a good professor. However, the course material was often hard to understand and not super interesting to me. I have enjoyed my other French classes a lot more. If you are really interested in French renaissance authors and poets then this class would be for you. It is more work than most French courses at Midd.
