Professor Terraciano is the best professor I have had the pleasure of learning from in my 3+ years here at UCLA. Testing and grading is fairly straightforward, but the guy is a champion lecturer, extremely passionate about the history of Latin America and the people there, and his classes will leave you with a newfound respect for Latin America, his ability as a professor, and our university. I took both 8A during my freshman year rand 157B recently. Pay attention in lecture, know the primary sources very well, cram the terms (although you won't have to if you pay attention in lecture), and you'll easily get an A. And that's how college should be, right? His classes aren't easy, but his teaching style encourages you to be engaged and follow along with the course. That is the mark of an effective professor. Many others at UCLA could learn a ton by sitting in on just one of Professor Terraciano's classes.
