Review:
Lots of romantic era spanish poetry is not really that lively. Dean Simpson relates to the students well and makes the class and the subject matter as fun as possible. He is definitely the most active and basically my favorite teacher after my first year at Tufts. I definitely suggest taking this class with Professor Simpson.

Workload:
Reading consists of a mix of spanish stories and poetry. Sometimes the reading is indeed a little lengthy. Each classmate has to present one author and a few of his works (this is a pretty easy A as long as you prepare). You get the choice of a midterm, which i suggest you choose to take because although it is difficult, he grades it pretty leniently. Essay final at the end, easy if you prepare. There are also a few short essays which he allows for corrections on. Definitely a good overall class experience.
