A service course for graduate students from other departments who need to satisfy language requirements. Divided into two levels: 11A (elementary) for those who have no, or hardly any knowledge of French; 11B (intermediate) open to students who have an appropriate level of knowledge of the language and to continuing students from 11A. Class meets twice weekly. Focus is on grammatical preparation and translation skills, not spoken fluency.

CollegeTests are take-home and open book. The homework is the same way and not that long. No midterm and the final is a group project and presentation. There is also one other presentation you have to give in the quarter, but it can be solo or in a group.
It's my 2nd time taking Marion's classes (Business French 1&2), I absolutely love her and the way she teaches the class. The lectures aren't boring since we always do activities and she really puts in efforts for her students. We had no in person exams/quizzes. Either online open notes exams or in person presentation. Also she takes attendance.
Marion is genuinely one of the best professors I have ever had. Coming in as a brand new French student, I was super worried that I would fall behind the rest of the class. The pacing and flexibility that Marion has to structure the class is top notch. I highly suggest taking all of her classes!
