I took Coleman for French Autobiography and I was a little iffy about this class from what I had read here, but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. This actually ended up being one of my favorite classes. The assigned reading is manageable and his lectures were pretty interesting- he gave meaning to the texts. There was a paper, in-class midterm and final take-home paper. You will probably fail if you don't show up to class because he covers a lot of information. Just do the readings and try to speak up every day- you can tell he appreciates the students who ask questions and give their opinions. Overall he's a great professor- I would definitely take another one of his classes if I had the chance.
