I took Coleman for French Autobiography and I was a little iffy about this class from what I had read here, but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. This actually ended up being one of my favorite classes. The assigned reading is manageable and his lectures were pretty interesting- he gave meaning to the texts. There was a paper, in-class midterm and final take-home paper. You will probably fail if you don't show up to class because he covers a lot of information. Just do the readings and try to speak up every day- you can tell he appreciates the students who ask questions and give their opinions. Overall he's a great professor- I would definitely take another one of his classes if I had the chance.

Please, you guys need to stop crying like babies. Professors aren't there to hold your hand and make sure you feel relaxed in class. This isn't junior high. And just for the record, he smiles plenty, and often gets us laughing. Coleman is a perfectly good professor. He asks a lot of engaging questions and does a great job of steering us in the right direction. He may not pat you on the back for every thought you decide to share with the class, but we don't have time for that. He focuses on the material in lectures. He's also very friendly and will bend over backwards to accomodate your schedule for a meeting time. His papers and tests are fair--no surprises, and the reading list is fairly light. I would recommend him to just about anyone. I think he did a great job.
