Before taking this class I read review about this professor that said something along the lines of "avoid this class like the plague." I disregarded this advice and now regret everything.

Melzer likes to use word documents instead of slides to present her information and it pretty much turns the class into a cluster f*ck. Her presentations are simply multiple pages of fragmented thoughts that you have to piece together in your essays. She will say she will post the notes, but will only do so a few days before a paper is due.

If you are looking for an easy GE without much workload, this class is not for you. You write SIX essays each three or four pages. She gives the prompt a week in advance, but by the time you decipher what she actually wants you to write you have about 4 days. Each prompt gives you two essays to write. So effectively you have about 4 days to write two essays about two very different topics. You do this three times and by the third time you start to question your will to live.

The only thing that held this class together were the TA's and wishful thinking. Combine the disorientating presentations, the ditsy professor, frustrating essays and you get French 16.
