This class is very chill, my only issue is the time, which for us was late in the afternoon. Other than that, the professor is understanding and is helpful when it comes to the readings. There are a lot of readings in this course, however, you really could just skim them or not read them at all since the next class, the professor will talk about it anyway and you just take notes. Be sure to take notes on what he says because you will have to write papers for both a midterm and final and his talking points are very helpful. There are some moments in class for discussion, but for the most part the professor just kind of talks the whole time. In my quarters, the "exams" were really just papers, though for some reason he would refer to them as "take home" exams. If you are actually interested in the literature, I found that most the of the writers were from 1900-2000 so the language is not too antiquated. I also found that most of our readings were from Argentine writers (the rest were Carribean/Colombian). There were no Mexican or Spanish literature from what I can recall. Professor Marturano is Argentine, so if you are not familiar with a Rioplatense accent, then it could be difficult to understand him, but you'd adjust pretty quickly since he talks very clear. Overall, very easy class (did not take up too much space in my mind to be honest) and very nice and chill professor.
