CLIT189 . Larue R J 1 Year, 5 Months Ago

I took vegan lit (CLIT 186FL) and I loved it. This class may have been better than other classes with him because he has a passion for vegan literature and has written a book about it so he might be different in other classes, but I had a great experience. He is very knowledgeable but not pretentious or preachy, funny, and very approachable

CLIT189 . Larue R J 5 Years Ago

Prof. Larue is great! The class is pretty straightforward, but you definitely need to read otherwise you will not do well on the quizzes. Extra credit option was easy and everything was simple as long as you did the readings. He is a nice guy and really cares about literature and making sure his students know what's going on.

104C . Larue R J 5 Months Ago

It is clear that prof Larue is passionate about what he teaches. He answers all questions with careful consideration, and will put in the effort to respond to every email in detail. I found his class difficult, but worth taking and made easier because of his teaching. He was very kind and his lectures were organized effectively :)

FR151F . Larue R J 1 Year, 3 Months Ago

He is so nice and you can tell he loves teaching. He rarely makes the students talk, it's mostly him going over slides, which is nice if you are shy. You have one group presentation(2ppl), quizzes everyday about a movie (pretty easy if you watched it, drops the lowest), the midterm/final are questions about the class so skipping is not a good idea

FR151F . Larue R J 2 Years Ago

Renan is a very passionate professor which makes his classes very interesting. If you're in an upper div French class, he'll speak fast French so be ready for that. In 151F you have to watch lots of movies and series which can be long but you'll learn a lot. Quizzes after every movie or text, so you definitely need to watch them.
