VERY DIFFICULT ONLINE!!! Tougher than FR251 as well, but I don't think I can specifically say why. It's a very rough course to take when you can't ask questions in the moment as you can in person. Extremely necessary though.

Good continuation of previous grammar courses, fair tests and great online resources to help you learn and practice on your own beyond what is covered in class

u/QuanticSaber: “I also went to a full French high school and on the first day of the class they told me I couldn't get the credit for FR 151. If I wanted to take a French course it had to be either FR 251 or FR 252”

“Taking STAT 230 online. How does the grading work? Midterms, finals...?”
u/flamedramonx: “Serious advice, it's super easy to fall behind in online courses. I once tried taking FR252 online and left it really to the last minute and took the WD. Make sure to stay on top of it.”

u/ThunderEcho: “… I haven't taken FR 250, but I have taken FR 251 and 252, and they were both alright but a little too easy. I was a French Immersion student in a fairly high-end French program in high school though. …”
