I have no criticism for Professor Carpio! Although the readings are quite dense, the examinations and assignments are very easy and manageable.

When I first signed up for this class, I was not expecting to be so thrilled throughout the quarter about this class. Dr. Carpio is very engaging during lectures, open to discussion during her office hours, and meeting with her about Chicano/a/x related ideas even if you cannot make her office hours she was very available to find another time in her week to meet. The required textbooks are not too expensive (and can be found and used as e books) and can be engaging if you are into reading about Mexican American history. Due to the COVID 19, Week 10 and finals week was different; however, the midterm was divided into two parts, one was keywords (during discussion) that are put online since the beginning of the quarter and second was short answer responses (during lecture). The final would have been a take home exam and was 2-3 pages. There is also a zine that is due Week 9. 10/10 recommend this course and especially with Dr. Carpio.
