I'm actually scheduling a face-to-face with her about this and a few other things I've seen that I find just as bad. While she does intimidate me, I find that most people react better to a meeting than to a letter.
The one thing that I forgot to put in there that prompted me to write this whole thing was that we were given one day's notice to prepare an oral presentation that counts for 5% of our grade. I know 5% doesn't seem like much, but considering the quizzes all together are 5%, that's a pretty big deal.
And then, with one day's worth of preparation, we weren't allowed note cards. I use note cards in English presentations, let alone foreign languages!
So, yeah. I'll be talking with her when I can schedule some time.
