Fall 2020 - Professor Alma was super accommodating and understanding of students needs! I really enjoyed how she didn't have any midterms and didn't stress note taking during lectures, but listening, to learn how to be a better activist and ally. Really enjoyed this class and strongly recommend as an easy, interesting, and useful GE!

Fall 2025 - Lectures cover a broad range of topics related to Chicano history/culture, basically giving a good introduction to a little bit of “everything.” Interesting content about race, colonialism, and chicano movements. Tbh, Prof Romero repeats a lot of what is said in the slides, but since the slides are not usually posted online, definitely go to lectures. Even though the lectures are recorded, seeing the slides and explanations during the lecture is helpful. Readings every week (one simple writing assignment every week), we’d have a required film to watch on our own time every week (with writing assignment due almost every week). It’s not bad at all though. However I do recommend taking decently good notes on readings and films because they will be useful for the final. Only had one quiz, and one “take home” final essay, basically gave us around a week to do it and turn it in on canvas. Great class, recommend!
