Class is great, very discussion based. Juan is super passionate about the class which makes it even more interesting and makes you appreciate Latin American culture. Juan also invests a lot of time into the students, giving lots of feedback and opportunities to learn more, and genuinely asks about how we are. Grading is super light, total of four essays on topics we all talk about in class and based on movies and books we read, these essays are also open note. And besides those essays, just 2 participation grades and a group presentation about any topic of your choice. Also knocks a bunch of gen-eds so def take this class |

I took this course originally as a gened that I had no real interest in, but because it satisfied extra requirements. After a few weeks, this became one of my favorite classes. This professor studied literature, and you can tell he is passionate about it. Every class is formatted with some form of media that we discuss as a class, and he really tries to get the class thinking critically and outside the box. The class delves into deep rooted issues and topics that you wouldn't think would be the focus of the class at first glance, but it makes sense and it makes for an extremely interesting class. Attendance is semi mandatory, but he will make it so that you want to attend anyways. This professor clearly cares for his students learning, and for their well being. Many professors have not cared about my personal struggles at all, and Juan has made sure that I am doing ok and accommodated, even at times when I didn't need it or didn't ask. |
