Are ghosts and monsters “present” among us? Through a selection of films and stories from Latin America, Brazil, and Lusophone Africa, this course examines how the horror genre, in dialogue with Western and non-Western traditions, opens onto questions of history, trauma, culture, and social life.

PORT32 . Correa De Sa A Month Ago

He is very nice and always there to help. Some of the assignments are confusing, but it is easy to ask questions. Lecture and sections are mandatory. Tests were difficult, but personal notes were allowed.

PORT32 . Correa De Sa 2 Months Ago

Personally hated the class because it was boring and extraordinarily disorganized. He assigned a reading reflection due the Friday of Thanksgiving that he gave the prompt for in class on Monday and then extended the deadline on Saturday, 24 hours after it was due. That said, it's an easy GE and you don't really need to do the readings.

LAIS 10 class: Professor Lupi doesn't even lecture, he has other professors from different departments lecture each week. 3 Essays for the entire quarter which sum up grade. Grading depends on TA . Section is mando with a group project. Do not take class if you cheeks at writing.

Easy class, skim books. Two online tests with multiple-choice questions and one essay question. one final essay, Weekly reading responses for a complete/incomplete grade. Attendance required passes around a physical sign-in sheet. Overall good class, easy A just complete and try everything

I loved class with Professor Lupi! He is very sweet, understanding, and genuinely wants the best for all of his students. My TA Vanessa was also amazing! Not the easiest GE I've ever taken, but it wasn't super hard at all! Highly recommend!

This class was unthinkable. Lupi is a very passionate professor. The class was very reading heavy. There were biweekly discussion posts, 4 online quizzes, 2 exams, and 1 paper. You can lowkey finesse not doing the readings but still getting a decent grade. It isn't the most easy GE but it suffices.
