I really enjoyed taking French 2 from Marion. I have experience in many other language classes at UCSB and abroad in French and German. I found her to truly care about student progression. A native speaker teaching a language adds a critical component to comprehension and understanding. Her enthusiasm made the rapid pace of summer tolerable.

She is a really good professor, approachable, friendly and knows her stuff. Office hours help any confusion about any grammar or anything. Super chill and helpful in knowing cultural aspects of french life (she's from paris so yeah).

Always so smiley and awesome!

I took her for French 2 and was blown away by her teaching professionalism, her incredible patience, and her warmth as a professor. She explained everything in great detail, gave countless examples for everything, and would write every single thing she would say on the board in order for students to visualize the material. Superb professor.

Marion is a really great professor. I took her class for French 2 and she was extremely helpful. Her class was not boring and she explained everything clearly. The course itself is not so hard but you really have to focus and memorize what you have learned.

so incredibly disheartened that my 5 star review (although one of many and thus unhelpful) might be for nought just because the UC system wants to digitize language learning. my first and last class with marion and it was amazing.
