Pros: Interesting lecturer
Cons: Midterm and final are dumb. He does IDs so you have to know names and small ideas in addition to big ones.

Dr. Chasteen is very excited about Brasil, and the class is very interesting and informative. The readings, especially Samba, are excellent, as are his lectures. For an upper level history class, the essays and papers are pretty reasonable, though you still do definitely have to do the material. I'd recommend this class to anyone who wants to understand Brasil or for whom it fulfills an important major requirement, but if you want to use it for a lame gen-ed requirement, there are easier courses, though I'd still recommend this, because it's pretty interesting.
