Fall 2020 - Professor Santa Ana...is odd. On one hand, I can tell that he really does enjoy teaching and he does try his hardest to teach in lecture. I definitely learned some things that are interesting that I would love to learn more about. HOWEVER, this course is...Not great. The professor was unclear in his grading methods, and I think internet communication made everything worse. I wouldn't recommend this course - it isn't exactly what I envisioned a Chicano studies course to be. It was boring, rough around the edges, and it needs a LOT of refining. The readings were insanely long, assignments confusing, and it was just a bad vibe all around. You can always make your own choice, but I wish I read the reviews before I took this class with this professor.
