Comment:
A very interesting class! I am taking this professor again this semester. For 125, it is important to do the reading, and some people had trouble understanding the text. But he tests and grades fairly given the difficulty of the reading if you keep up with the work. I got an A in the class. He is an interesting professor!

He uses the textbook A LOT! Make sure you do the reading and come in with questions if you do not understand it. His lectures are based off the text. Very funny guy, but serious about his subject. Don't expect to do well unless you read.

A great guy with a fabulous sense of humor. BUT, the course really lacked. His lectures consisted of summing up the reading we had been assigned (instead of discussing why it is relevant or branching out on a related topic). We got our first grade at the end of November. No clear feedback on how to improve out writing.

Comment:
At first, this class seemed easy to cruise through-- no tests, the homework being to "read" some chapters and watch a movie outside of class every once in awhile, and laid-back lecture style. Then the actual papers were due, and Allende grades much more... diligently than he lectures or assigns homework. Good class, but stay on your toes!

The class is great but there are so few assignments that each one is worth a huge part of your grade and he isn't very clear on what he wants nor does he give much feedback so if you don't do well to begin with it is hard to know how to improve.

"if it were not for the CIA in this country, your professor would be laying back and relaxing [in chile] with a big belly full of tomatoes". how can you not LOVE a prof who would say something like that?

Not necessarily always the clearest teaching style, but his fabulous life stories and experience make up for it. Plus he's so damn cute with his comments about having to dress from wal-mart because he has cats to take care of, you know.

i was randomly assigned him as a first year and couldn't have been luckier! he's tough and makes you work for the grade (more than others i mean) but after it all you know that you have gained a great amount of insight and knowledge. i love that he is compassionate, emotional and human.

I LOVE DR.ALLENDE! He has a VERY intersting past and a famous family, but that does not faze him. His course has made me into a poli-sci minor. He also reminds me of one of my uncles... He loves group discussions and short papers. I HIGHLY recommend him!
