<p>Elementary French shouldn't be that hard, correct?</p>
<p>There's only one professor teaching it, and she's gotten bad reviews. I have no need to take French; it's purely for enjoyment. I CANNOT get a "B."</p>
<p>Any insight?</p>
<p>why can’t you get a b? med-school? </p>
<p>what professor is teaching it? and actually there is only 1 lecture day with the professor and the rest of the 4 days are with a TA/instructor (usually a grad student in french)</p>
<p>french will be intense…esp if you’ve never had it before…</p>
<p>LOTS of vocabulary…LOTS</p>
<p>I would recommend definitely NOT taking a language for fun at Cornell. I love languages but they are just too demanding.</p>
<p>I would recommend taking it for fun. Yes, they are very demanding, but if you’re going to Cornell you’re probably up for a challenge. And in any case, it would probably count towards something, even if you don’t really have to take it.</p>
<p>I don’t think that knowing you go to Cornell is a reason to be reckless with your time…especially when getting a B is apparently not OK. also just because you are at Cornell does not mean you’re universally capable at everything. I bet if I took even an intro class in AAP I would be totally unable to keep up.</p>
<p>faustarp makes a good point…just because the idea of taking french sounds appealing doesnt mean the work ethic will be spot on…</p>
<p>there are other ways to learn french…rosetta stone is one of them. </p>
<p>you could always take french and then drop it before it’s too late…</p>
