FR151F . Larue R J 1 Year, 8 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

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.

I took vegan lit, he is an amazing lecturer and very insightful. The course is really interesting, and he offers lots of extra credit. You NEED to do the readings! Not a difficult class if you pay attention and read. I could not recommend this class more.

He was a good professor, but you HAVE to do the readings or else you won't pass. This is not an easy A class so don't take it if that's what you're looking for.

He is super passionate about this class! It is super interesting, but do not take it if you do not go to class, or you do not do reading.

Prof. Larue is very passionate about vegan Literature, he really loves what he does, and you can really tell through his awesome lectures. Exams were all handwritten, 6 SAQs and one essay. There were 3 exams total, you definitely need to do all the readings and take notes on lectures if you want to get an A in the class.
