French 60 is pretty easy, but also extremely unengaging. It involves reading 3 books and writing 3 essays, one per novel. Professor Werner walks into class and immediately begins "lecturing," which is basically him talking the entire time in a monotone tone and not engaging the class. You can never go to class and still do fine, he only talks about topics your paper could be about. If I had put more effort into the class I probably could have gotten an A, but writing isn't my strong suit. If you want an easy A/B, take the class. If you want an engaging fun class with an interesting topic, don't.

I took French 60 and it was a really GE, for me at least. There are no midterms or discussion sections. You read three books. The first one is easy to read because it's entertaining. The other two are really boring.

I still managed to get an A in the class without reading much of the second two because he CONSTANTLY is talking about the main ideas of the novels.

So, no quizzes or midterms, no written summaries of the novels, just 2 essays for two novels (5 page maximum) and either a blue book final or another essay.

Writing the essays did take work, but I managed to get A essays just by working on them everyday for a week. Just come to class and listen, even though he rambles a ton and sometimes he gets really off track. It's a pretty easy GE, especially if you're good at writing.
