Spring 2018 - Barreto's class is great, he does a lot to get everyone engaged and connect the material to current events. The current events that he takes at the beginning of class do show up on the final exam so it's important to keep track of those. The hardest part about this class is probably the final data project because of the program you use. My TA was extremely helpful though so overall it was a great class. I'm selling "Latino America," email me if interested: *************

Fall 2024 - The class content was fairly easy. Lectures were often fairly engaging and the professor took her time explaining everything to ensure the class knew exactly what she was trying to convey. Professor de Vega is always happy to answer questions relating to the class during office hours, be it in regards to the exam or lecture content. There were only a small set of assignments, which were a take home midterm essay, take home final essay, and a candidate profile. Not sure if the future assignments will be take home, nor if there will be a candidate profile since there are no elections anytime soon. Would absolutely take the course with the same professor though.
