GER101C . Reder E R 9 Months Ago

After having completed the whole GER101 series, Evelyn has consistently been the highlight of my week. There's never too much work, and she is truly such a funny, caring, passionate teacher who tries to learn so much about each and every one of her students. I wish she taught more classes, because I would take anything she teaches.

Evelyn is an amazing professor. She truly cares about her students and their well-being. I've taken her for German 3-6 and she's the most enthusiastic professor I've ever had. The midterms and finals have been more group-projects or group-related! And they're fun and easy.

GER101A . Reder E R 1 Year, 3 Months Ago

Professor Reder has a clear and infectious enthusiasm for teaching which makes her classes extremely positive, informative, and relaxed. We learn about relevant topics, interesting stories, and even watch movies here and there. A lot of grammar is learned in this class, but it is in a fun, engaging, and conversationally-relevant manner.

GER6 . Reder E R 3 Years Ago

One of the best professor's I've ever had. Many students prioritize other coursework since German is rarely their major, and as unfortunate as that reality is, Evelyn is super patient and understanding so long as you put in the effort to learn the material and participate in class. You will no doubt have a wonderful time in her class!
