Janet Janzen was the best instructor I have had all year in McGill! She would always try her best to help us in terms of understanding the material and preparing for tests, etc. Additionally, she would let us all participate in class and give us all the time needed to answer a question...no pressure! ... By the end of the course, when the two summer school Intermediate German instructors were explaining the program to us, we all understood every single word uttered by them and that made us all smile a little inside. Couldn't have done it without you, Janet! (Winter 2009)
Mme Janzen est une personne tres motivante - elle sait bien saisir les forces de chacun et s'en sert pour le bien du groupe. Que de bonnes experiences (Fall 2009)
Janet's mixed use of German and English during class forced students out of their language comfort zones and allowed us to expand our knowledge of the German language very effectively (Winter 2010)
Students weren't "invited" to share their ideas and knowledge...they were FORCED!! Naw, just kidding. But yeah, she's always asks us to contribute and even if we'd get an answer wrong or spend forever answering it, she didn't get impatient one bit! (Or at least she didn't show it!) (Winter 2009)
