CollegeThis is the most confusing grammar teacher! My notes were always unorganized and erratic because that's how she explains things. She rarely uses the white board for examples, she'll just badly explain essential grammar rules & expect you to understand. I struggled in the class and went to her for help only to get condescending, non helpful replies.
Professor Schultz is wonderful! The transition to intermediate French is definitely difficult and requires a level of understanding and attention to detail, but Prof. Schultz was always available to clarify any questions we had. You will get the grade you work for in this class. Jean Schultz is the gem of the French department!
I had Schultz for French 2-6 and she is honestly my favorite professor at UCSB. She cares so much about her students and is so flexible and understanding. That being said, she really appreciates genuine effort so show her that you care and it will pay off. She wants learning French to be fun, not stressful! Lots of extra credit opportunities.
I absolutely loved her class. I learned so much. She recognizes hard work and rewards you for it. She cares about her students, and she grades fairly. Yes, she lectures all in French, but that actually forces you to LEARN the language. She is available during office hours for a one-on-one. She also offers extra credit opportunity.
Do not take if you actually want to express yourself in French. The courses are fill in the blank grammar on paper. The textbook and online homework are so expensive and barely necessary to learn the material (the prof is the author of it, surprise!). Learn a different language if you must at UCSB.
Jean Schultz is like the mommy of the french department! Yes, she may seem intimidating at first but she really cares about her students and wants you to do well. Don't expect her to grade as easily as the TA's but I got an A so just do the homework and you'll be fine!
