Dr. Romero's specialty is middle eastern history, so if anyone has any interest in this field I would recommend taking this class, however, the content was not really what I was expecting. I went in thinking we would learn about some of the ancient middle eastern civilizations such as the Persians and others, but the content starts with the founding of Islam and you cover topics/issues all the way up to the present day. Dr. Romero is a very nice and interesting guy and he is always willing to help, but he has high expectations for his students (especially since this is a senior level History course) so this class is pretty difficult. There is a 15 page term paper (which I thought was one of the toughest papers I've ever had to write), 2 in class analysis in which he gives you a topic and wants you to elaborate upon it and offer your own opinions on the issue, along with the mid-term and the final. The exams are pretty tough but he does give you the essays and IDs beforehand so you know exactly what to study, but he picks and chooses what he wants to put on the tests so to have any chance of doing well you have to study EVERYTHING. Dr. Romeros lectures can get pretty boring but I did learn a lot in this class, so if you want to learn about an interesting part of history that most are probably unfamiliar with, take this class, just be prepared to work.
