The Avid AdventurerThe wardrobe you packed was better suited for a semester of camping than club hopping. Outdoorsy, you might forgo a crazy night out for an early all-day adventure. You'd rather take in the rich culture of an old town than the metropolis of a modern city, but for you getting off the grid is ideal. |
Individual Course Reviews
| Course Name/Rating: |
History and Memoires of WWI |
| Course Department: | History |
| Instructor: | Andre Loez |
| Instruction Language: | French |
| Comments: | This class was a class at the Middlebury Center. Professor Loez is extremely knowledgeable in his expertise of WWI. The readings for this class is very interesting and from different perspectives. I really enjoyed it because it gave me a different kind of lens to look at WWI, especially from a French perspective as WWI affected them a lot more than other Western countries. We had to do a presentation and 2 exams. |
