Spring 2025 - I was going to drop this class because the final was 50% and I had no prior knowledge in Latin American culture whatsoever, but I stayed because the course content was genuinely interesting, and the exams turned out to not be that hard, just go to lectures or listen to the recordings and you'd be fine. The professor is so kind and tries to remember everyone's names, I actually feel bad that not a lot of people show up. There were a lot of readings, but you don't have to do all of them because you could choose two out of four/five questions on the midterm and final, so you basically only need to do four weeks of reading.
