Summer 2018 - Get ready to read! Professor Lacayo is incredibly knowledgeable and gives amazing lectures. However, the amount of reading she assigns is astronomical. The readings are very dry and boring. Midterm was a 5pg essay and final was an in class essay. Additionally, she assigns two documentary reviews. Those are pretty informative. Go to office hours!!! It helps

You can call it an "easy course" because there is no midterm or final, but this class is by no means an easy A. You will find lectures and discussion sections pointless because they are so unstructured and irrelevant. The readings will be pointless because there are no exams. Everything that can be learned from this entire course can be learned through simple research online or through simply having a conversation with a member of surrounding Latin@ communities. Don't waste your time on this course I can assure you that you will be left with boredom and regret. Do something more exciting like actually going out and talking to some Latin@s and discovering these issues through your own experience. Don't waste your time on the course, trust me, don't do it, don't do it.
