Comment:
At first, I only took his class on the First Nation because I needed credits and it fitted well in my schedual. But his passion, the texts and the subjet were alle very good, and it interested me more. He his a tough grader, but if you participate, listen and take note, you can have a good grade! I recommend him to anyone who wants to learn.

Comment:
Son cours n'est pas le plus palpitant, car il a tendance à lire ses notes. Cependant, lorsque vous allez le voir pendant ses heures de de disponibilité, il est très aidant et dévoué et cherche réellement à mieux répondre à vos questions. La notation est très sévère.

Comment:
Professeur qui maîtrise très bien sa matière, et qui toujours prêt à aider les étudiants. Le seul problème est qu'il maitrise mal le français, ce qui le rend parfois difficile à comprendre et à suivre. N'hésitez pas à lui poser des questions et lui demander de l'aide, il tentera toujours d'y répondre au mieux !

Très bon professeur, qui connait très bien sa matière. Ses cours peuvent paraître difficile et sa notation sévère, mais on ne devrait pas en attendre lorsque l'on suit des cours universitaire. De plus, il est très ouvert aux questions et il tente d'y répondre au mieux de ses capacités.

Comment:
Cours absolument incompréhensible, professeur qui n'a aucune capacité en français, qui tente de transmettre un cours qu'il lit littéralement sur ses feuilles. Sécher ses cours deviendra votre passion. Sa notation est aussi sévère, et il rend la matière inintéressante.

He's a nice teacher: helpfullness, always smiling.. The only problem is a lack of clarity due to his french language level but i think it doesn't affect so much our learning.

Attendance mandatory in lecture, however they are well organized and very well articulated. Kind of a hard marker but always available if you need help or clarification. Really enjoyed this class

Really very approachable. He is a tough marker, but he is also readily available to help you through essays etc. He really demands hard work in these assignments, but I learned a lot in this course and would definitely recommend it. Very interesting and also very relevant.

This was DEFINATELY my favourite professor this semester. If you get a chance to take a class with him and you like history, be sure to do it! He taught my conference too and made sure he got to know everyone one. All and all a super great person and teacher!

His lectures are extremely interesting, engaging, and I feel like I got a lot out of his class! He is not that hard of a marker, I thought that he was fair. The readings were not too long and definitely added to my understanding of the course material. He makes an effort to learn your name, he cares a lot about students! Highly recommend!!

Meren is nice, but he's also a very hard marker. In fact, he was the hardest marker I ever had in the 4 years I spent at McGill. I can't say that I found his tough grading to be justified.

I loved Professor Meren! It was his first time teaching a class and he did an amazing job. Lectures are extremely well-organized and he does his best to make them interesting. It's a lot of reading so be prepared, but he's well worth it!

Great lectures, he obviously comes to class well prepared, and full of energy. This was his first class and he did very well. But it's not an easy ride, extremely tough grading.
