Catherine Combelles

Catherine is one of the nicest professors at Midd, is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about this material, and overall makes this an amazing class (in addition to having interesting material to begin with). Cannot this class recommend highly enough!

Combelles is so, so nice. This class is her expertise so it's super interesting and the depth of her knowledge is palpable. She answers all questions honestly and is open to taking the class in the direction that students choose. As a J-term course, it's very project heavy, but they can be creative and fun. The material is super interesting, and she's very flexible and understanding.

This course was a worksheet-based class meaning that we were split into groups, and we had to work on a worksheet with the help of TAs. The Prof only commented on the word document, and there was hardly any teaching on her part besides having to watch video-lectures before coming to class. The TAs were doing the professor's job, which was odd. The readings and tests were durable.
