Michal is easily the best professor I've had. She really cares about you learning and enjoying the class, and not on making sure you know x amount of words or conjugations. At times, it was hard to keep up because everyday we would learn a ton of new vocab words, but Michal was very understanding if you didn't remember everything that we had covered.
Michal is the chillest teacher at Middlebury and is so beyond accommodating that she would do pretty much anything to make sure students are enjoying the classes. There are no homework or tests if you don't want there to be, and vice versa. This class has you as the captain of the ship.
