Homework and exams always felt like just enough to help you learn, never felt annoying or too much to handle. Also 10/10 fashion taste",

He would assign readings and lectures to be completed in the first half of the week on your own time and then we would meet for a discussion for the second half of the week. Prepare by taking notes and then just listen and participate in group works for points. Straightforward and easy!",

The class content (French 228) is something you don't want to miss! Wish I could take this class again.",

Almost every week there are guest lecturers and then you have a quiz on the lectures in discussion and as long as you go to lecture you'll get the points. Besides quizzes the only other grades are the midterm and final which are take home and only have short answers and a two page essay each.",
