Soccer has caught the attention of not only the international media but also of disciplines such as sociology, psychology and cultural studies, as well as art forms like photography and filmmaking, digital art and comics. However, more than just a form of entertainment soccer is considered a national sport in most of Latin America. How is it that a game that originated in 19th Century England was adopted by a large and varied culture as a matter of national identity and pride? Focuses on the history of soccer and on soccer as a cultural phenomenon intimately linked to nation building and to notions of progress and national self-image. ### requirements text None ### credit offering ids None recorded. ### llm job id enrich-8b774950c2b6adfdc46d1b82 ### llm output id ffb9b6f8512de92b72a029174d4b889f185acab1ff74097a5f729d97f4c32189 ### llm model nvidia/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-NVFP4 ### llm model revision 1355db6a052410cfd62085d94b58866fd0f2c3c5 ### llm task version 14 ### llm search status valid ### llm summary Examines soccer's transformation into a multicultural phenomenon and its role in Latin American nation-building and national identity. ### llm topics * History of soccer * Soccer and nation building * National self-image and progress * Soccer as a multicultural phenomenon ### llm skills None recorded. ### llm assumed background None recorded. ### llm search phrases * soccer culture Latin America * sports national identity * soccer sociology history * cultural politics sports ### llm requirements status valid ### llm student summary status valid ### llm experience status insufficient\_evidence ### catalog variants None recorded. ### student summary #### context hash 0518b9fc592788cf24a4309e70495004cef4622cbf84b822856f301c429dd99a #### course id SPANISH 230 #### current instructors None recorded. #### difficulty workload None recorded. #### errors None recorded. #### historical context None recorded. #### message No course-specific reviews available #### offered false #### profile hash 5cb4dabf887cdbcd8c00d5a1312e10828b95c63f30bc3ea76aea199565390d02 #### quick take Recent recorded grades — Spring 2026: 3.34 GPA, 75.7% A/AB (n=37 letter grades). ```json { "citations": [ { "course_id": "SPANISH 230", "run_id": "20260907T155543-ce3781c4", "source_record": { "entity_id": "5f073404-0145-3786-a57b-1acb7db220bd", "file": "tables/observations.parquet", "kind": "grades", "source": "madgrades" }, "table": "grades_latest", "term_id": "1264", "type": "grade" } ] } ``` #### student experience None recorded. #### task hash 74fb0997943e888960bbc9e47db8c4fd12e4292d55c20509d8d89db6a9910f68 #### teaching history None recorded. #### term id 1272 #### term name 2026 Fall #### version 2 ### requirements #### nodes ```json [ { "children": [], "condition": "None", "course": null, "evidence": "None", "id": "source_requirements", "kind": "condition" } ] ``` #### notes * Display fallback using original requirements text; not an LLM-parsed rule. #### root source\_requirements #### status needs\_review ### instructors None recorded. ### offerings None recorded. ### sections None recorded. ### grade instructors ```json [ { "instructor_uid": "instructor_5c963a799a52e16b84f2031f", "source": "madgrades", "source_instructor_id": "4004543", "identity_basis": "source_id", "identity_status": "source_identified", "name": "MARCELO A PELLEGRINI", "email": null, "first_observed_at": "2026-09-06 23:14:58.172943+00:00", "last_observed_at": "2026-09-07 15:55:43.033547+00:00", "grade_statistics": { "gpa": 3.751, "graded": 1468, "counts": [ 1105, 173, 109, 27, 37, 13, 4 ], "sections": 103 }, "instructor_url": "/instructors/MARCELO_A_PELLEGRINI" } ] ``` ### grades ```json [ { "run_id": "20260907T155543-ce3781c4", "semester": "1272", "observed_at": "2026-09-07 15:55:43.033547+00:00", "course_id": "SPANISH 230", "course_uid": "course_c1ac479eca337c1147d2f48c", "term_id": "1264", "term_name": "Spring 2026", "instructors": [ "Marcelo Pellegrini" ], "a": 16, "ab": 12, "b": 3, "bc": 1, "c": 1, "d": 4, "f": 0, "satisfactory": 1, "unsatisfactory": 0, "credit": 0, "no_credit": 0, "passed": 0, "incomplete": 0, "no_work": 0, "not_reported": 0, "other": 0, "total": 38, "source_aliases": [ "SPANISH 230" ] } ] ``` ### statistics #### gpa 3.338 #### graded 37 #### counts * 16 * 12 * 3 * 1 * 1 * 4 * 0 ### grade conflicts None recorded. ### evidence #### history * [/data/e243353dcb7d79b7247ced91d69443ef4c2a6349/history/course\_c1ac479eca337c1147d2f48c-0.json](https://uwcourses.com/data/e243353dcb7d79b7247ced91d69443ef4c2a6349/history/course_c1ac479eca337c1147d2f48c-0.json) #### traces * [/data/e243353dcb7d79b7247ced91d69443ef4c2a6349/traces/course\_c1ac479eca337c1147d2f48c-0.json](https://uwcourses.com/data/e243353dcb7d79b7247ced91d69443ef4c2a6349/traces/course_c1ac479eca337c1147d2f48c-0.json) #### results * [/data/e243353dcb7d79b7247ced91d69443ef4c2a6349/results/course\_c1ac479eca337c1147d2f48c-0.json](https://uwcourses.com/data/e243353dcb7d79b7247ced91d69443ef4c2a6349/results/course_c1ac479eca337c1147d2f48c-0.json) ### revision e243353dcb7d79b7247ced91d69443ef4c2a6349 ##
