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 2025 - OKAY, here's a super honest review. Her formatting of exams is all over the place. You have one midterm that is closed closed-note, and you will be proctored (the same case for the final). She arranged the final and a group project literally in the same week, which was really annoying and took a significant amount of time to study for. This class is a lot of work, but I will say I never paid attention to any of her lectures and just solely read the book and got an A plus. She does get mood swings where she is super angry at students because she thinks they are using Chat GPT LOL. Overall, though, if you study hard and read the book, you should do well. Make sure, though, you either come to class in person or via Zoom bc she does scan QR codes that will hurt your grade. I never came to class and went on Zoom, so take that information as you please.
