Comment:
Grades you on 2 or 3 papers based on movies or documentaries we watched in class, a midterm, and a final. Lectures are boring but he is an easy grader. Not really detailed and leaves things up to you. He's a little strict on absences.. with that said, don't have more than 3. Overall a nice guy and really passionate about Latin America.

Nice guy, cares about his students. Has an accent, but easy to understand. Midterm and Final were easy, his review beforehand is helpful. Very strict about cellphones and lateness. Not bad.

1 paper, 1 midterm 1 final. gave us the questions for the final before hand. midterm was take home. Super easy class, show up and your good. Tells stories doesn't like when you come in late though. I'd recomment this class to anyone.

Easiest A ever. Took this class in 2008. Do not even bother to buy the book. Just show up and pay attention to each class before the midterm and final.

Comment:
Gets mad when people come late. He gives 1 paper, 1 midterm + 1 final. Rarely uses the book and goes by his own notes. But he does tell you whats the on exams and such. But can be BORING at times. Borrow the book and save yourself some $$ cause the only time your gonna need it is for the exams on topics he never covers anyways.

Dont bother buying the textbook-- you will never use it. Bring something to do to stay awake in class. He gives the midterm/final essay questions beforehand, so just study that. He doesnt really give A's though, so stay away if thats what you're looking for!

He's a great professor, but doesn't really encourage involvement in discussions. I barely read the text. Still, he grades fairly well and is a genuinely nice guy.

Very difficult to understand what he was talking about...he went off on tangents every 20 seconds, but there was little work to be done in class. Big on lateness and absences. However, there was only a 3 page paper and midterm/final (in which he gives you the questions before hand). Basically if you wanna sleep in class, take him

Says the stupidest pointless things. Not a hard grader at all, but it was because of him that we had a FINAL. NOT A BAD TEACHER AT ALL.
