The reading tests and listening tests are pretty easy, never really needed to study for them but be well prepared for the writing tests by practicing responding to prompts that are related to the topic of the unit and all the past in class writing and speaking prompts. The questions on her daily slides are basically the same as her writing and speaking tests so go back and review those. The class is very French based, she will mostly speak in only French unless she has complicated instructions so be ready for that.

Her class is very organized, so make sure to stay on top of your work and on kershaws good side since that carries you far. The writing essay questions are pretty much the daily warm up questions, and the class overall is so easy. The projects and speaking and writing tests are really hard, but studying and practice make it easy to pass. Reading tests are easy, and take notes during the listening ones. Other than that, it’s fun and it’ll be good.

Be sure to prioritize work and participate. At times, Madame Kershaw will like you more if you participate. Be nice and don't get on her bad side.

The class was ok. The class this year (2018-2019) was shifting away from the use of textbooks and the tests were not focused on memorization but rather your ability to grasp the language that you were learning (acquisition). If you are ok in French, you'll get a 8 on her rubric scale while a 9 requires to you go above and beyond what you should know.
