I love this professor. He was truly born to teach.
The lectures are pretty long, but always interesting. For the two papers in the class he has you choose 2 topics to write about (5 pages for each topic regarding material read in class, so a total of 10-page papers). These papers are generally not very difficult because you can look to lectures for the answers. He also seems to reward critical thought and individual interpretation of the readings.
He is a wonderful professor and has awoken a newfound love for Mexican literature in me!
I fully recommend this class!

Summary of this class:
You read works of Mexican literature (and also a Mexican screenplay). There are only 2 grades; midterm 1 and midterm 2, equally weighted (50-50).
Both of the midterms contained 2 essays each. Each essay could be 5 pages max.
The essay questions were very difficult, and even more difficult if you didn't take good notes in lecture. When I was writing the essays, I was frustrated and often didn't know what to write. But, I pulled through, found some good points to support my thesis and wrote them down. And I did very well (straight A's)! Can't say the same for the rest of the class though... I'm not sure what he looks for in his grading because it appears I never did anything wrong!

Anyways. Overall I recommend. Here's a great professor and funny too.
Side note: I took his class online during corona time.
