Fall 2021 - This was a super easy and interesting GE. There were no test or quizzes just two creative projects, a presentation and a short paper which she ended up cancelling. Alma is passionate about what she teaches and keeps class interesting. I would take another class from her and would recommend this class to anyone looking to fill a GE.

Spring 2020 - Because the course was online, I feel like we got off easy... But the 1st quiz was a nightmare; I don't know how people did but it was eternal and kind of hard. I think the professor maybe realized the 1st quiz was hard because the 2nd one was WAY easier, with only two questions instead of 20. There is A LOT of readings every week, most of them over 15 pages and really tedious. What saved me was the extra credit and the participation in discussion. I don't know what I expected from this class. It was interesting learning about Central American history, but it was way harder than I had anticipated. Don't know if I would take it again, especially considering that I think this course will be a lot harder when it's in-person.
