Winter 2021 - Professor Thomas was the best! He is very helpful, kind, and understanding. The format of our class was preparing a translation from French to English once a week and translating one in class together. We all participate and Professor Thomas jumps in to help us and is quite encouraging. The final was translating a longer piece and one of our own choosing. Easy A as long as you participate and come prepared for class. The homework was also very light! Would highly recommend this class and I hope I can take another class with this professor.
