Comment:

Four 4-5 page reflection papers, two all written exams, one group speech project and one final take home 10-12 page essay. There's a fair amount of writing in the class, but it isn't terrible because he's not a super tough grader. You have to put in work in the class, but show an interest, work hard and you can get an A.

Comment:

The whole class is Dr. Carrion reading off of slides that are word for word from the textbook. The TA was super unhelpful and could not correctly answer questions with problems in lab. The lab portion was a waste of time, only one or two concepts from lab was applicable for the final paper.

Dr. Carrion is amazing. He is so funny, passionate and knowledgeable about everything. It's really important to do the readings in order to do well on the exams, but I sort of did them and pulled off a B+. His class wasn't a joke but it was really interesting and enjoyable. I highly recommend him and this class!

Comment:

Only took this class since it was required for all Political Science majors, but it has no actual politics discussed. He gives weekly hw assignments and three or four tests, all written no multiple choice. Plus you have to learn to program SPSS and write a 14 page on it. Did not enjoy but got through it. Said he'd curve the class but never did...

Mi estimado CarriÃ³n, always be looking out for you. I love his class. I would definitely take his class if I could. Very clear: 4 short essays, 2 exams and 1 take home (12-15 page paper).

Highly recommended. Great professor who cares about his students. 2 exams, take home final, and 4 easy short response essays. There is a fair amount of reading and material, but it's straightforward.

Two exams and one final paper are all that is needed for this class. You can show up to class, but as long as you read the assigned papers a week before the exam, you should be fine in this class.

Two tests and a final paper. He gives out study guides for the tests, but not only a few days ahead of time, so there isn't much time to do them. He uses the same questions from the study guides on the tests. He seems to know everything about Latin America. Would definitely recommend a class with him.
