Jerry Philogene

Professor Philogene is a rare gem at Middlebury, a professor who truly values student contribution. This class mainly centred around discussing the readings, and she always opened up space for students to discuss their interpretations. Discussions were always enriching, and I felt like there wasn't significant pressure to contribute if you did not want to. This course has 4 papers to write and 4 books to read, which isn't very difficult to keep up with. One thing of note is that Professor Philogene does take a long time to grade your essays, so if you need feedback before doing another paper, it is better to speak to her during office hours or try and improve on your own. Overall, I would recommend her courses.

Professor Philogenee is one of the best instructors I've had at Middlebury. She has such enthusiasm for the course material and has made every single class memorable and fun. We read 4 novels and have discussions every day, so the course is very dependent on classmates' willingness to participate. Overall a fantastic course for those intersted in the subject. You get what you put in!

Professor Philogene is AMAZING. She is so passionate about what she teaches and loves getting to know her students. I genuinely loved coming to class every day because she was so enthusiastic and made such a fun classroom environment. That being said, she can be a hard grader but she genuinely helps you become a better writer in the process and is more than willing to talk through any edits with you. While I got a lower grade than I wanted, I didn't mind because I truly felt like I got so much out of the course and it was extremely rewarding.
