French 133 was by far the best French class I have ever taken. Prof. Mabanckou is congenial, charismatic, and HILARIOUS. He made the class laugh out loud several times per class! The lectures were really interesting and he grades very easily. I did most of the reading and wrote the papers and I received an A+ in the class; plus, I became quite interested in a topic I knew nothing about previously. I am not a French major, but I will go out of my way to take another course with Prof. Mabanckou before i graduate.

Fall 2022 - The class name represents this class well. You are given short stories each week (usually 1-2/week). After reading, the class gathers for discussion. All the short stories chosen are famous and representative, and the discussion with Professeure Murat and her explanations will inspire you a lot. Easier class comparing to FRNCH 119 since short stories are easier to follow. In general, if you love this language and really want to learn, don't hesitate to choose this class.
