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.

Love Prof Weber, he’s a great lecturer, chose interesting content, and is very approachable and accommodating. Undoubtedly one of the best professors in the French department and worth taking a class with him. That said, I was enrolled in the CW section of this class, which I would not recommend. 5 major papers, presentations, a midterm exam, weekly writing responses, and hours of weekly readings was brutal. My French writing improved significantly but it was not the most enjoyable experience. Definitely take this class, but avoid the CW section.

This is the continuation of 101. 101 and 102 together finish the textbook. However, 102 gets more intense as it's the only class that semester. Meeting times are prolonged, and times spent on homework are roughly doubled. You will be kept relatively busy while your friends go to the Snowbowl daily.
