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.

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.

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!

This class seems so interesting, but the lectures are so dry and brutal that it somehow makes the topics excruciating to learn about. The final and midterm are both pretty tough, and there is just so much information to know for it. I wouldn't recommend this class.

Although Prof. Jullien tends to be too quiet, and the class isn't particularly hard, I loved it. I recommend taking advantage of her office hours because she always answers your questions thoughtfully and helpfully. She is a very kind and intelligent lady.

Although she can be too quiet sometimes, she is obviously passionate about the subject and that comes across, especially in office hours (take advantage of them!). Make sure to keep up with the readings! The tests are easy though and she is a generous grader.

She needs to know how to use a microphone because you can barely hear her during lectures. It gets boring to listen to her. Unfortunately, you have to go to lecture because of clicker questions. If you do the reading, you'll be fine for the tests.

Soft spoken. Course is so easy though, just go to lecture and take notes on why parts of the stories are Fantastic. Easy A if you dont just regurgitate the plots on the midterm/final.

Very boring and soft-spoken, avoid if possible. I was very excited for this class, but towards the end it was just terrible.

Worst class. Avoid at all costs. She couldn't answer any questions during class clearly and don't even bother asking questions regarding the midterm- she nor Kosik will give you a straight answer. Was really excited for this class then it turned out to be the one class I dreaded every week.

Apparently everything is "uncanny" and "Fantastic" SO boring and after 4 lectures became very predictable. Got an A is first test because just kept saying the mentioned words above. Got a little creative with the final and got a B even though I did considerably better. Pretty much tell her what she wants to hear. Useless class but not much work.

Although she is soft spoken, she was very clear about her expectations and the tests were fair. The lectures were interesting, but you have to do the reading!

Her lectures are incredibley boring. The exams were easy, but she thinks that analysis is equating everything to the "fantastic" or the uncanny. Nice lady, not bright.

Way too soft-spoken. I could barely understand what she was saying. Her lectures were really boring and not engaging at all. To be honest, I didn't read much, but even when I did read it wasn't helpful. The questions she makes for the tests don't really facilitate understanding of the readings just random facts. Not worth my time for for 3 units.

Soft spoken, but tries to speak up (it doesn't help she doesn't understand microphones or overhead projectors). Her lectures are either all summary or almost entirely unrelated to the text. She lets Kosik dominate, and can't make decisions without his input. Nice woman and probably brilliant, but this class is a waste of her talent.

Neuroscience and the humanities. She was a little dry and kind of soft-spoken, but not incomprehensible (and got loud when students said they couldn't hear). Really clear expectations, fair tests that looked at the "big picture." DO THE READINGS.

Can't stand this woman. All she does is summarize. She has such a soft voice and doesn't know how to use a microphone, let alone speak audibly without it. She made class less interesting for me...which is why I stopped attending... even though I was riskin it cause attendance is mandatory. Still got an A. oh well. easy buttttt cant stand her!

Jullien teaches in the Comparative Literature and French-Italian departments. Her class on the fantastic was very interesting and engaging. Her tests are text-driven, so you have to be on top of the reading and there's a whole lot of it. It's pretty difficult to keep up, although I tried my best. She needs to encourage more class participation.
