I took his Perspective Mondiale 12. I really enjoyed the class. The class was relaxing and chill. There isn't too much work and he gives you lots of in-class time to do almost every single assignment. Although, I never really used the in-class time because the class was too quiet and I just couldn't concentrate. That being said, it is a pretty easy class. The class primarily consists of presentations, but they are all group ones. You get to choose your own group. He likes to experiment with different types of presentations such as your classic PowerPoint in front of the class but he also gets your group to lead a class discussion that should take up almost an entire class. He also gets you to write three essays. The essays aren't too difficult. I think one or two needs to incorporate something a group talked about during a presentation so try to pay attention. I and all my friends couldn't get above a 90% on the essay, but it is possible. He also gets you to do many other mini-assignments which are just questions and you need to search for the answers. Sometimes they are worth grades, other times we would just talk about them in class. A crucial must-do in the class is to participate. It's okay not to participate every single day, but you need to share some genuine ideas. Participation is a big part of your grade. He gives you many many chances to participate. The only way you get a bad grade in this class is by not doing the work and not participating.

I really liked this teacher. He is extremely respectful and understanding. He is very lenient on due dates. I know presentations in front of the class and stuff seem daunting, but this teacher makes it more tolerable. I really appreciated his kindness and fairness. It was a pleasure to be in his class.
