What bothered me most about this course is that Professor Munier fostered a classroom culture where disagreement with her extremely leftist worldview was discouraged. I am very liberal myself, and I often feared to express my own opinions in class knowing that she would consider them unacceptable. The course content only included very leftist readings, which leads to a very incomplete knowledge of contemporary France. I feel that all I learned from this course was far-left French political dogma with no substance or analysis to back it up, and this course has made me unenthusiastic about taking French in the future, and I think that if anything, my French skills have deteriorated as a result of taking this course
