The TAs this quarter are horrible. They grade everything and are very biased. When you ask for help they don't give much help and they did not set out a rubric for the weekly papers. Every week you have a paper due and they grade unfairly (worth 10 points). ATTEND CLASS, it counts towards your grade. THREE EXTRA CREDIT opportunities, take them because you never know what you're going to get on the midterm or the paper due at the end of class which counts towards your final. Memorize a few lines and do a performance too, that counts as your final. Just go to class and be really nice to the professor (he's amazingly cool and sincere and deserves respect). Talented guy, that's for sure. Not so much the TAs he has.

Fall 2016 - This class reminds me of a play--which is quite ironic--in the sense that you go to class, speak about life and relevant issues in society and then you get to act it out with the class. Sometimes discussions get heated, but then again what opinionated college student doesn't think he/she/they are the next pioneer? The material was great, the reads were also very captivating and the TA was one of the best dudes around. The professor is always on time and will ask the class to participate when he speaks. He does have a tendency to go off on tangents but that just makes the class even better in my opinion. There's not much to say about the class other than take it if you want to read about important events in Chicano history and take it if you want an amazing time and all the while get an A. It literally doesn't get any better than this guys!
