Comment:
I took this class asynchronously - thats what I would best recommend. Watch recorded lectures on your own time, take quick quizzes every week, and move on. Not much effort had to be put in the class except for the midterm/final. All written based and open note. Easy to complete, just writing heavy and time consuming. Books not really needed.

Comment:
Madrid is the best gov professor at UT hands down. Lots of reading for weekly quizzes, 2 tests, and an essay. Test and essay are a big portion of your grade. This class was accommodating for online school with COVID and one of the best online formats. He's also really nice and funny, and knows his stuff which makes lectures interesting.

Comment:
He expects a lot of his students but will help you every inch of the way! He is one of the nicest people I have ever met and I am so happy I took his class. Lectures are a bit slow at first, but then it really speeds up at the end. Honestly he is one of the most knowledgeable professors I have ever had.

Type everything he says in lecture and study it a few days prior to the test and you'll do well. lectures were usually interesting and he definitely knows his stuff. tests were 10 multiple choice and several essay questions, if you take good notes during lecture you'll be fine, questions are more big picture. gave us some extra credit, great prof!

Professor Madrid is an excellent lecturer, he makes his lectures interesting, he is also very knowledgeable about the subject and has high interest. His test are straight-forward, you do have to study A LOT but most test consist of 10 multiple choice and 2 essays. The essays are questions that if you study your notes you will answer very easily.

Comment:
The class is kinda boring but you can tell Madrid really likes the subject. Be sure to do REALLY well one the tests. If you don't do well on one, you're kinda screwed. The essays were graded kind of hard.

Comment:
Dr. Madrid is a good professor who is passionate about his forte, which is Latin America. I made a B in the class because of my lack of commitment to the class, so I imagine achieving and A would not be extremely difficult. Go to class, and at least skim through the readings for the sections he doesn't cover in class.

Easy-to-follow lectures along w/ powerpoints (posted after class, too). 3 tests: first 2 with essays, last w/o. One 5-page paper. The MC questions on the test are very simple if you take notes and study his lectures! Nice guy.
