Course explores the creation of a space where a fantastic perception of reality developed and thrived, hesitating between the real and the supernatural, in the intermediate space of the unexplained and unexplainable. Works by Balzac, Poe, Stevenson, James, and Borges.

Usually 2-3 readings a week and a one-question MC "quiz" at the start of each class. No need to buy anything, she provides online pdfs of the readings. One midterm, one final, and the rest is attendance/participation. Amazing academic and hilarious teacher. Some have expressed difficulty in getting accommodations with her though.

This class includes 2-3 readers per week. I did not think the workload was unreasonable. I think that Prof. Jullien does a good job of leading the class's conversation, and the readings themselves were interesting. Overall, pretty straightforward. Graded on participation and 2 exams. She is fair. If you want to succeed it is definitely possible.

Inaccessible outside of class, doesn't know how to speak to students not in the major, unclear and inconsistent grading, only a midterm and final for grade. Brilliant academic, horrible teacher.

Class is tough because it is reading heavy, but she explains very well in class so you have to go if you want to understand. Not a tough grader, and loves when people show interest and ask questions. Go to office hours or talk to her after class, she is very kind and seems to care about her students.
