–          Juliette is awesome so unbelievably helpful. It’s  obvious how much she cares about her students and all the efforts she puts into helping everyone. She also makes you work and learned a lot from her and the class.

French 2500 SP2010

–          This course as really helpful – I feel I have learned more than I have in any other class with any other instructor.. J. Bourdier pushed us to be the best we can & never gave up on us when we weren’t doing our best. She tried many different formats – presentations, group work, photostories to get us all involved. And in my opinion it worked. Merci beaucoup, Madame Bourdier.

–          J’aime sa classe! Était très difficile et la prof demande beaucoup, mais c’est très beneficial. Pour moi c’est la meilleure classe de français et madame Bourdier est une très bonne professeur (sic).

–          Madame is a great instructor – her style is very different from the usual French class but it is very effective for learning French.

–          Difficult in the beginning as well as unenjoyable, however, by the end of the semester this was both an enjoyable and useful course.

–          The class was challenging and sometimes felt there was too much work, but I’m so better at French now, and appreciate the amount of time Mme Bourdier put into this class.

–          Tu as fait un très bon travail comme prof! votre intelligence, motivation et disponibilité étions tout à fait super ! et tu êtes très compatissant avec les étudiants. (sic)
