Prof Maillard is by far the best teacher I have ever had and this course was by far the most interesting one. Unfortunately, she is leaving. Don't know how the course will continue without her. Won't be an easy task to find anotherProf Maillard.

I literally love Prof Maillard! I took two first-year classes and one second-year with her. This quarter, I had her for Business French. She is one of those rare professors who are professional, inspirational, passionate, fun and caring. Her teaching style is very interactive and based on discussions and critical thinking. All in French, of course!

Great course. You learn a lot and as said previously, all you do is applicable to the real world. We did a lot of "real situation" acting like a Job interview in French after we designed our resume. I enjoyed this class a lot and Professeure Maillard will push you hard. Also it is not a lecture so, you have to participate!

Business French has not only been the most fun and interesting french course I've taken at UCSB but I also feel as though I've gotten the most out of it. As a graduating senior entering "the real world" these assignments were extremely helpful and applicable to my life now! Professor Maillard is doing an excellent job! Highly recommended!

The two parts - 104E and 104F - of Business French were by far ones of the most interesting French classes I took at UCSB. Prof Maillard made us invent a product and present to the class. This was a memorable experience for my friend and me. I really like Prof Maillard as a person and a professor. Take this class if you can. You won't regret it.

She is good about clarifying concepts after class or in office hours, she wants you to do well. Attendance is required but she is pretty understanding, if you have a reason to miss class she'll give you points back. Almost all of her lectures are in french, but the textbook explains everything in English so its easy to follow. Overall great prof!

The material for French 2 is difficult and she is very aware of this fact. She is very patient and helpful. Looking forward to French 3!

Okay, I signed up for French2 after French1 I took last quarter. Let's say I didn't know French2 would be that hard! I know it has nothing to do with Prof Maillard because she is a great teacher, but my advice is "be ready" Prof Maillard said that it's the hardest level. I am glad I finish the quarter with an A :-) I highly recommend her!

Who would believe me when I say that this class is fun? Professeure Maillard captivates her students with her style and activities. She is wonderful! You just don't learn to translate. She goes beyond and teaches pronunciation and grammar! It is intense but entertaining. She makes learning fun. I am definitely continuing next quarter.

I learned in three months more than three years in high school. I enjoyed the class a lot especially because I could review and also because Mrs Maillard is a very good teacher. Don't expect to go to class and do nothing though because she wants you to participate. I agree with the previous comment, she is extremely helpful and a nice person.

Best French teacher I have ever had. After this quarter, I feel it was a full year honestly because I learned so much! You work hard - be ready - but at least Professor Maillard recognizes your efforts. I love her!

I enjoyed the class even if it was kind of hard for me. Me Mailard helped me so much though giving me ways to raise my grade by correcting my work like tests. She really wants you to improve and supports you alot. She is too nice to some students sometimes. I would take another class with her if I could because I am sure I will learn alot.
