CollegeBonjour! J'ai pris le cours de Francais 5 et 6 avec elle. Marion a un air de jeunesse qui inspire la classe. Elle m'a encouragé de chercher les opportunités pour apprendre plus. Il y a beacoup de devoirs. D'habitude, ils sont pas tres difficile mais ils durent longtemps. J'adore l'atmosphère de la classe et je vous conseille de le suivre avec elle!
She is the best!
Marion is very passionate about teaching. She is friendly and responds quickly to emails. She provides great feedback on compositions and excels in breaking down difficult grammatical concepts. She encourages students to participate and speak French but not in an aggressive manner. UCSB is lucky to have her as an instructor.
Marion gave me so much confidence to continue with French. One of my favorite classes I took this quarter. Of course, there was a lot of homework, but that's what it takes to learn a language, I guess. Gives great feedback on papers and in class. Would 1000% recommend it.
BEST PROF EVER!!! She is truly amazing but be warned FR6 is not for the faint of heart! This class is extremely difficult, not because of the prof but because of content. Be warned!
Marion Labatut is one of, if not, the most amazing professor I have ever had at UCSB. She is a light in the classroom and inspires students to have a good time while learning. I woke up each morning happy to attend her class which made participation easy! I highly recommend her for any French course.
