Spring 2024 - This class was an insanely easy elective. The only things that are graded are two 20-question True/False quizzes (one as a midterm and one as a final), one research proposal that’s 2 pages double spaced, and a research paper that’s 5 pages double spaced. Attendance isn’t taken and considering the lectures are extremely boring I wouldn’t recommend going. The quizzes are online take-home so that makes them easier. The research proposal and paper can be on any topic you want within Spanish South America, it doesn’t have to relate to anything taught in class. I seriously only spent probably 10 hours on this class outside of lecture for the whole quarter.
