Madame Jullien is a very sweet woman. She does, as everyone said, have a soft voice, but it's part of her nice personality. That being said, don't let the soft voice deceive you, she is a very strong academic and her grading is confusing until you approach her, at which point she's more than happy to help! If you visit office hours, she's great!

Being quiet doesn't make one a bad professor. She gets across points from the readings that are worth thinking about and that help students understand the time period being studied. Come to her with direct/prepared questions in office hours, participate, and try to keep up with readings and you should be good.

She's a tough grader, attendance to lecture is mandatory, and you HAVE to do the readings. But she has a way of lecturing about hard stuff that, instead of making you feel naive, makes you feel smart just being in the conversation. If you show effort, participate, and talk to her after class once or twice she'll give you a boost at the end.

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.
