Most Helpful Review
Professor Gans is a very kind professor who really cares about his student's learning. I took him for French 12, which is about French poetry and other French literature, and even though I hate poetry, he made it interesting. He adjusted the syllabus to accomodate the whole class' progress to make it easier for us to learn and turn in hw on time too. He also changed the grading scale to our advantage based on what we were doing well in. He is very specific about what he's going to grade on in his midterms and finals and if you take that into consideration when studying, it's really hard not to get a good grade. He was really nice when I went to see him in his office hours. He really cares about you getting a good grade. If you really make an effort to read (which is not a lot), try to do the work and go see him in his office hours once in a while, he'll like you and probably give you a better grade than you deserve.

This Professor is seriously a joke!! Do not take this guy, he speaks to himself the whole time, no interactions with students, students were sleeping in his class!!! You will have 2 essays to write (4-5 pages), 40% each, attendance and class participation is 20% (does not let students participate much!!). I think that he should retire, he has no love for teaching, just wanting to collect his paycheck. It is really unfortunate that teachers like him are allowed to teach. He might be a good writer himself but definitely not a good teacher!! I got an A- in his class, being a native speaker and having a bachelor in French literature from Paris!! What a shame!!!

Very unhelpful. He really did not seem to care about his students or how they were doing in class. Also very unhelpful outside of class. Not interested in talking to or helping students AT ALL. He was also a little rude and condescending. The class itself was pretty easy though. Two short papers and participation points (which basically consists of saying "here" during roll call) are all that is required.
