Fall 2018 - I really enjoyed my time with Professor Brozgal in French 41. In the beginning, my motivation in taking this class was to fulfill a GE; however, I am so happy that I was able to enroll in this class my first quarter here at UCLA. She is incredibly kind and understanding. After attending her office hours once, she remembered my name. It is so gratifying to hear your name in a classroom of 120 students. Whether you want to talk to Professor Brozgal about your thesis for the 2 short essays (10% of your grade each) or your upbringing during her office hours, she is open arms. The model of the class is one day is a screening day and the other a lecture day. I have been able to enjoy some of the best French films in this class. Her lectures sound like essays due to how well spoken this woman is :). The grade composition is made up of 1 midterm and a final, both which are online and multiple choice. There are about two hours allocated for the exam, but I only used about 30-35 minutes. 10/10 Would Recommend!!

I absolutely adore Brozgal. She's incredible. The woman spent several years living in Paris and, let me tell you, it paid off. Her French is amazing. She speaks so quickly with an immaculate Parisian accent that you'd never guess she's American. I was scared out of my mind when I started French 120 with her last quarter. I thought I would have to drop the class because I'd only understand 60-70% of her lectures. I went to her office hours and expressed my concerns...she is very empathetic and an excellent listener. She encouraged me to stay in the class and do my best. By the end of the quarter, my comprehension of French had improved SO much. I wish I could take her every quarter. She is passionate about this language and culture. She's also a classy dresser and very beautiful. She's pretty young, too, so she's "hip with the kids." Haha. TAKE HER AND THANK ME LATER.

Brozgal is amazing. By far one of the most passionate and personable teachers I've ever had. She is an incredible educator and honestly takes the time to get to know her students. I'll be taking as many classes with her as I can. She gives a lot of work, but it will all pay off! Take her!

Fall 2020 - If you have the opportunity to take this class, TAKE IT!!!! Or really anything Brozgal teaches. She is engaging, kind, and she cares deeply about her students. The course material helps you foster appreciation for French culture rather than prepare you for exams (there weren't any in this class). Overall just a very enjoyable way to spend my time. I feel like I got to work creatively which I've never done before at UCLA! 11/10 for Prof Brozgal

Winter 2017 - Professor Brozgal is my favorite professor I have ever had at UCLA. Not only did she do an excellent job of teaching the material, but her passion for both her students and the subject matter shone through in every single class meeting. She selected readings that were very interesting and engaging. Never before have a actually done all of the readings for a class and been excited to complete my homework! She fostered an environment that encouraged discussion and deep thinking, and used autobiographies to teach broader lessons of gender, race, religious, social, and political dynamics. Best class ever with the best professor ever! Four papers, I believe 5 pgs, 5 pgs, 8 pgs (your own autobiography), and 3 pgs.
