Most Helpful Review
Fall 2024 - I absolutely love Carlos's class. Though the 8 am sucked, he made it worth waking up for. His lectures are more seminar leaning as we would discuss a wide variety of topics, all of which covered how media influences or projects what society thinks and feels. English is not my strongest subject, but the topics that we covered made me appreciate more. Also, make sure to participate during the open discussions!! We never got a breakdown of how each assignment/participation was weighted, but I'm pretty sure attendance and participation held a good chunk of the overall grade. Assignments were never overbearing (only if you procrastinate). The readings are dense, but it is essential you do them or you will have no idea what to do during lecture. All of assignments during lecture are based off of the assigned readings and done in table groups. There are two main essays, one which you get to redo for a better score and then the final. For each essay, Carlos arranges a meeting to help you revise your draft and answer any questions you might have. Overall, Carlos makes the class really fun. He's a really chill professor and has good style. He's passionate about what he teaches and does everything to make sure you succeed. 10/10 recommend! :)
