This man is so sweet, understanding, and the most accomodating ever. We only had 4 essays total, 1 was considered a midterm, the other one was a final an dthe other two were just in between. prompts were not difficult especially if you attend lecture. The readings are pretty easy to understand, I would love to take another class with this professor I highly recommend

HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this class along with Professor Terraciano. Funny and engaging teacher and will often provide extensions on papers. Lectures are in person but are also recorded and uploaded quickly. The class material is super interesting and gives you a new perspective on early Latin American Natives history (The truth about Columbus and the following colonizers for example). The class consists purely of about four essays I believe and the prompts are released a week to two weeks before they are due. I got an A on each paper! A quick tip that helped me: there are three textbooks, but what made life super easy for me was just reading specifically for my prompt instead of reading the entire textbook material.

Prof. Terraciano is amazing!! His lectures are really engaging and it's clear that he knows a lot about what he's teaching + he's really passionate about his subject! He's very accommodating and my TA Chase was super helpful as well.
I'm selling the textbook (A New History of Colonial Latin America) and reader (Red Reader/Selected Writings from Iberia & Latin America) for this class. Contact me at **********.

Professor Terraciano is the best professor I had. He is super kind, understanding, and really cares about his students. He is easy to communicate with and is passionate about what he teaches. His class consists of so much reading and only four essays which is doable. He was also a lifesaver in the class and would hand out extensions and an easy final during the TA strikes. I definitely recommend him!

TL/DR: There's a reason why this professor gets such good reviews. The class is simply designed, the material is very interesting to learn (albeit some of it is incredibly depressing), and Terraciano is a great professor who actively cares for his students. This class, although affected by strikes in Fall 22, still managed to be enlightening.

I never went to a single lecture and only read select excerpts from 1/4 books when I had to write an essay, and still ended with an A. This class is chill. It's just based off of 4 essays, so as long as your paper is decent and meets the requirements, you'll be fine.

I genuinely have so much appreciation for this professor, he is THE sweetest and most caring ever. He was so accommodating, especially during the TA strike, this man facilitated my life and I am so thankful for having him as a professor. you can tell he knows so much and enjoys this subject. I cannot recommend him enough. There was no homework, only 4 essays which were all pretty manageable and TA didn't grade harshly.

One of the best history professor ever. Prof. Terraciano is such an amazing professor that actually cares about his students. The class was a lot of fun. 2 essays and 2 take home exams(midterm and final). He proved most of the books for the class which made it really affordable. Totally recommend taking the class.

Took this class and overall it was easy. The lectures are optional and the prof just has slides that are read from. The discussion section is mandatory and useful depending on the TA. There is no homework but there are weekly readings but it's ok if you don't read them. There are 4 essays, each one increases in percent value. The TA grades the essays so make sure you listen to the discussion section because they usually tell you what they are personally looking for in the essay. Overall the class was easy to handle and if you read the notes/comments from graded essays and use this as a guide for the next essay you will receive a good score.
