Quarter: Fall 2023
Grade: A

Dr. Colon is great! The course is centered around a novel that we read throughout the quarter along with weekly busywork. Though the weekly workload wasn't necessarily difficult, it often felt tedious and could get a little overwhelming. The tests were never difficult if you had been doing the weekly grammar modules and assignments. Overall, would recommend!

Quarter: Fall 2023
Grade: A

I took this class because I was considering minoring in French and the course is called Introduction to French Culture and Civilization. However, this is NOT the case. The first half of the class is spent analyzing French suburbia called "banlieues", with a decently large amount of readings / assignments each week. We had to do mini writing assignments every so often which the class thought was graded upon completion, but it was not. Luckily, the grading on those wasn't too harsh, but the prof gave almost no full credits, with the high often being 95 and the mean being somewhere around 92-93 on most assignments. This is fine, but if you slip up on one assignment it could be difficult to get an A since the average is just on the cusp. You can tell the professor genuinely cares about the material, but I think they should be a little more understanding that most people are not as invested as them. The readings were very very theoretical and difficult to understand and they would often assume students did not do the homework or put much time or thought into the assignments when the reality was it was just difficult to grasp. Overall I did feel like I learned and that the professor was good at teaching, but I do wish the subject matter was more engaging, or at least more relevant to "Introduction to French Culture and Civilization". Would not take again but I'm not mad
