Winter 2025 - An amazing professor who genuinely cares about her students (the protests were going on during this time and was understanding) and the information she teaches. She breaks things down to simple concepts, doesn't give busy work, and truly wants people to learn about Chicanx studies. While her lectures were not mandatory, they were nice to listen to as you can also hear from other students' experiences of how societal standards effect them. I genuinely learned a lot and was not burdened by a lot of work that would influence my major classes. Would take her again! Also, discussions were chill, just review the articles and you should be good.

Winter 2025 - I absolutely loved this class with Professor Abrego. The class consists of two quizzes and a final annotated bibliography. The quizzes were easy if you read and attended the lectures, but I would say you could still pass them if you don't attend lectures. She gives you a whole layout of the class, so nothing is a surprise. For the quizzes, you have the whole weekend to complete them and a 2-hour time limit for when you do decide to take the quiz. Many students finished in less than an hour since there were only 8-10 questions. My TA was not present most of the time, so it was hard figuring out the assignments for the annotated bibliography on our own, but it was all doable.

Fall 2023 - Professor Abrego's class was very interesting and made me a lot more engaged in the topic of Central American culture and history. The class was manageable and well-structured, but the TAs themselves were not. Most would offer no help whatsoever and kind of just gave students whatever grade they felt like due to them also constantly cancelling class every week, which felt like I was not learning nothing after Week 4. The readings are actually useful and the class is graded on two open-note exams and an annotated bibliography. I would definitely take her again, just with different TAs if possible. She is very knowledgeable in the subject and her lectures were always super interesting.
