Professor Cao Danh makes all of her classes very enjoyable and helps your conversational French a lot by only speaking in French during the class. She expects you to participate and gives you helpful study guides before every exam.FRN1101 2015-06-12 03:18:53 +0000 UTC
I took her french film and culture class. It was easier than a middle school class. The only problem was that she never respected others views on social issues. She constantly voiced her marxist viewpoints, and once, I may have even seen s a little red book amoungst her piles of papers... hahaFFC101 2009-12-04 18:50:54 +0000 UTC
Extremely easy grader on the exam (only 1), and on the papers and there's only three of them, none have to be more than 5 pages. The films are interesting if you have an open mind, and she knows a lot about them and the culture of France.LNFU280 2007-12-05 08:20:28 +0000 UTC
This class was pretty good considering half of it was spent watching movies. There are no books, only some reading packets. She's a really nice person and pretty funny at times. Very passionate about French film and hopes you will be too, easy grader on papers and no final.CIN280 2007-10-26 14:34:43 +0000 UTC
A funny/kooky professor. Class gets really boring by the end of the semester since you do the EXACT same thing everyday. The final is not cumulative and the HW is just from the workbook. If you have to take this class anyway you might as well take it with Cao Danh.LNFU102 2006-12-07 12:59:18 +0000 UTC
Dr. Cao Danh is a true professor. She grades fairly, treats you with respect, and goes the extra mile in class. She is fair with homework, once or twice a week (not a lot and isnt strict on deadlines, as long as you get it to her). Prepares you for each test. Tests have no surprises. Shows movies sometimes and brings treats to class on holidays.LNFU102LNFU20 2006-07-20 12:54:15 +0000 UTC
one of the best lang profs here. engaging, clear, helpful; she makes learning the lang easy. also is fun, a little kooky but fun, give insight to french culture and ends class early if you get through the material! you can tell she wants her students to do well, and you will if you do the hw and participate in classLNFU101 2006-04-13 19:26:44 +0000 UTC
very energetic and always interesting and fun-loving. She really cares about the students and teaches about French culture as well as the language. She also has a very effective way of teaching and it just makes sense.LNF101 2005-01-10 12:13:35 +0000 UTC
She is really nice and is not very hard. Her class is enjoyable and interesting...FRENCHFILM 2004-12-01 15:59:23 +0000 UTC
Very nice, great teacher. French 2 is taught the same way as French 1.LNF102 2004-10-04 14:47:23 +0000 UTC
Class is not that challenging, but you do have to study for exams and do the workbook work. Strict Attendence Policy, as with all language classes. Really good professor overall, very smart and willing to work with her students. I would definitely take another class from her. Very much enjoyed the semester. Easy quizzes- no cumulative final.LNFU102 2005-12-15 18:59:54 +0000 UTC
A really nice woman and can be funny at times. Class can be a little boring as it is basically the same everyday, but the tests aren't hard and the final is not cumulative. I think some poeple in my class had a problem with her, but only cause they weren't good at french. :P I thought she was a good teacher. Strict attendance.LNFU101 2005-12-15 19:36:46 +0000 UTC
Fairly easy but lively, funny, and enthusiastic about teaching. Lots of class participation, verbal exercises from the book. French accent.LNF101 2004-03-19 08:25:16 +0000 UTC

Taught just like 101, but speaks more French. She is a little crazy so that makes class a little more interesting. Assumes that the class has learned things that we haven't, but overall, she's good.LNFU102 2005-12-02 22:42:21 +0000 UTC
