Peter Tarjanyi

Professor Tarjanyi was great. The content and material were super interesting, which made some of the long readings more enjoyable. There were a lot of films, and each one contributed to my understanding of the material. Much of the content was a little out there, but I would take the course again in a heartbeat.

I genuinely think that Peter Tarjanyi is the best French Professor in the department. He was very kind and understanding whenever I had a course conflict, and he was willing to accomodate shifting around deadlines and making exceptions, which was really great as I was taking four other courses. Not much work outside of class, but I still feel like I vastly improved my writing skills through the Par Ecrits. Would take again, hoping to have him again.

This was my first French class at Middlebury, and I have enjoyed it. It is a mix of poetry, short readings, and films. There are 4 essays over the course of the semester, and 1-2 200 word homework assignments each week. Each class requires a short amount of preparation, typically some reading. Peter is very kind, and will never make you feel badly if you say something incorrect during class. He's also very willing to help with questions on homework or essays. The classroom environment is pretty comfortable.
