CollegeUsually 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.
Professor Jullien is a very smart lady. Although she is very quiet during lectures, they are still engaging, as long as you did the reading! Also, take advantage of office hours because she is very sweet and answers all your questions! She appreciates when you take time to come see her with specific questions. Overall a good class!
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!
