Professor Gould was very passionate about the course material, however, this often led to a monopolization of class discussions that made it difficult to participate. Readings and essays were the main assignments, and there were also two minor lab exercises. The class didn't demand much but wasn't particularly engaging.
Mez was really understanding and passionate about the subject matter. The discussion sections were really collaborative and she made time to answer all questions. We had a long research paper for our final where we got to pick the subject. We had a fair amount of reading but she covered it in the lectures.
Mez is one of my favorite professors at Middlebury, and is extremely caring about her students. Her class does involve heavy readings, but if you do well on two essays and participate often, you'll do well in the class. Her classes are about average difficulty, but she makes them more enjoyable than most Middlebury classes.
