Evie Munier
I enjoyed this class as it focuses on real-world issues such as immigration, identity, social inequality, and urban life. The workload was very manageable. Prior to every class you had to submit a discussion post in response to the assigned film/reading. The final was very flexible and could explore a topic of your choice. This class is highly discussion based and participation is graded. I would recommend this course if you are looking to improve your oral communication skills and learn more about modern France.

I didn't love this class, and I don't know how much it has to do with Munier versus the Midd french curriculum. I felt that I wasn't able to dive deep into content and was penalized for trying to get more out of a given reading than I was allowed. Munier was lovely and kind, and genuinely does have passion for the subject, but I felt that the goal was to get us to align with her own views on the media we consumed. That being said, the films and readings were all super interesting, but how we applied them felt lacking.

Professor Munier was very nice, but the material felt forced and dry. We had to meet a required quota of how many times we spoke each class, which often made discussion feel artificial. Old french poetry is not the most fun topic but we had a fair amount of homework and wrote a few in class essays that werent too hard.
