This class has been very interesting. It wasnt exactly what I expected but I still learned A LOT. I think the incorporation of other lecturers was weird to me. I have never had that type of experience before but it fit for this class since there were so many topics covered. I loved the incorporation of films that were related to our readings and lectures; they enhanced the topics and helped me connect more. For instance, in the film about Arenas I saw that they were leaving from the port that said MARIEL and I was like (in my head) "LOS MARIELITOS" and I remembered that that was the group of homosexuals and other men that left during that time. It made since that he would be leaving in that group. For the next classes, try to connect ideas like that more often. I could have missed other instances but that one was one of few I caught.
As far as discussion, I wish I could have made it more...and on time. However, the ones I went to really helped me to grasp the concepts. The key terms were especially helpful. Keep up the good work Isabel!!!!!!
PS. Im not really a blogger so this was hard keeping up with it. But, it keeps us updated on other people's opinions.

I agree! I also learned a lot from this class, and I'm surprised at the amount of material we were able to cover in the past four months. I think the guest lectures and films were a great way to bring in other perspectives on the subject being taught. It has given me a well-rounded knowledge about the Latino community.
I wish we had more classes to choose from that had to do with Latinos studies next semester. I would love to continue exploring this subject area.
Thanks to Profesora Cotera and our GSI Isabel!
