I took three classes with professor Harris: M155A, M155B, and 155C. I thoroughly enjoyed her classes and the literature we had to read. In fact, I learned about one of my favorite books "The Miraculous Day of Amalia Gómez" in her class. Professor Harris introduced interesting topics for our class discussion, which were always very relevant to this day and age. She made great parallels to the social issues of the Chicano movement to present-day ones. She encouraged class participation, so I would recommend staying on top of the reading assignments. Her midterms and finals were also more creative. For one of the classes, she gave us the choice of PowerPoint presentation, scripted video, or written essay. I do feel like this was one of the few classes I took at UCLA, where I was able to use my creativity instead of writing your traditional 10-page essay. I also liked how lectures weren't limited to literature, she would also share relevant digital media. One of my favorite lectures was when she brought the director of "No mas bebes" to talk to the class after a class viewing of the documentary! Professor Harris is also nice and easy to talk to. I always felt comfortable sharing my ideas and point of view during class discussions. I would definitely recommend any of her courses if you are looking for compelling literature and engaging conversations.
