Weber is a great professor, but this class was not super engaging. The subject matter meant that all of our discussions were essentially the same, even when we were reading completely different books. I would recommend a course with Weber, but not this course.
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

I was unsure about this course going into it, but I actually really enjoyed it. Peter is super kind and clearly interested in the material. The readings, films, and shows were generally very interesting and enjoyable to watch. There were two essays over the course of the semester, with one additional essay if taken as a CW course. The course content involves a mix of historic dystopian media (mainly stuff from the Holocaust) and fantasy/sci-fi. There are approximately weekly short written responses (250 words). The class itself is discussion-based and interesting.
