I took 205 last semester, and this class was definitely a lot more work. You have to write 250 word paragraphs for almost every class, and Tarjanyi isn't a very easy grader. But you gotta do what you gotta to do get the major/minor, and it's not too bad once you get used to writing paragraphs in French.
This was an instance of "love the professor, don't love the course." M. Weber is an excellent teacher and he does his very best to get interesting discussions and thoughts percolating amongst the students. That being said, I did not realize how much reading there would be. There was too much reading in this class. The readings frequently didn't make sense and we were doing dozens of pages of difficult French reading a night. I would take a course with M. Weber again, just not this class. The papers weren't too hard to write, but the drowning in readings that were hard to understand (probably would have been pretty difficult in English as well) was not a fun time.

M. Weber is a great professor. The class was boring at times as it felt like some of the media we study is a bit outdated or not as relevant, which led to disengagement from the students. Despite that, he was super enthusiastic and accommodating of needs. He is also super sweet and approachable professor who also knows how to keep his professionalism
