CLIT189 . Larue R J 3 Months Ago

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.

FR101B . Larue R J 6 Months Ago

he's really chill. just show up and do the quizzes. speak on occasion, but he's not really that strict on participation. midterm and final are written: answer about six short response questions about the lectures and readings.

104C . Larue R J 10 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 :)
