Karin Rosemblatt HIST251 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/14/2024	Prof. Rosemblatt is a good lecturer but not a good teacher. I did not like how she structured the class because it made me abandon my history minor. There are no research papers or out-of-class writing assignments related to the course content. We go through the history of 8 different countries through various readings and lectures, but we don't spend a lot of time connecting them together. You're expected to do that on the midterm and final, but even then only for the sake of the essay. Halfway through, the class became quite boring because we were going through the politics of dictatorship after dictatorship. Don't take this class if you have a mild interest in Latin American history and really just enjoy studying the complexity of history and writing about it. Take it if you think you're interested enough that a history class with memorization and surface-level class discussions will be enough for you.
