Winter 2019 - Professor Romero is a kind and caring professor, but his lectures were a bit dry at times. His slides contain a lot of information to write down, but he usually spends a lot of time talking about it and relating it to real-life situations. The readings for this class were okay, sometimes a bit too wordy, but as long as you get the overall meaning you'll be fine; there's weekly journals based on the readings so it's pretty necessary. The midterm was straightforward, my TA helped us come up with answers to possible prompts that ended up showing up on the exam, and Romero gave us a helpful study guide. The final wasn't that bad either, it was a 5-7 page take-home paper, and he allowed us to choose which film out of the two we watched in class to write on. Overall, this class is pretty easy, and I would recommend to anyone looking for a simple yet interesting GE.

Fall 2020 - I took this as a FIAT LUX, and glad I took it. Professor Romero is a super genuine, happy, and informative person. Obviously, this class is not hard at all. The only thing required to pass is one assignment at the end of the quarter. If you identify as a Chicano/a and want to learn more about your culture, then this class will do that. Even if you're not Chicano/a, it is still interesting. Be ready to get political though. Every class turned to a political topic. Overall, easy, interesting class.
