I did not specify my grade because I just took my final...it will either be an A or a B. This class is difficult, however it is possible to make a good grade if you put forth enough effort. The lectures are interesting but hard to follow (he talks extremely fast, which will overwhelm you in the beginning). 15% of the class is participation and quizzes, 40% consists of two short papers, the midterm is worth 20%, and the final is worth 25%. A major plus, in my opinion, is that a research paper is not required, which is unusual for a history course. The two short papers (3-4 pgs a piece) are not difficult but I wouldn't say they were easy either. Prof. Eagle is a moderate grader. My main complaint with this course is that there is SO much info you are required to know for the tests and I don't believe that you can adequately complete them because you do not have enough time. Also, Prof Eagle is not one to cut you any slack, which I don't guess you should really expect. I am a history major and I would not suggest that you take this course if you are not required to. However, if you are you will learn a lot about Latin America (he really knows his stuff) but this is defiantly not an easy course. He will provide you with help outside of the classroom if you ask and is quick to respond to any email questions. I think that Prof. Eagle is generally a nice guy but I would caution you about this course if you are not willing to put forth quite a bit of effort.
