His class ruined my experience here at UCLA. His lectures were unbearable, keeping us up until the last minute every session, and they were not helpful at all with regard to our final paper. Our pop quizes killed my final grade. There is a lot of reading material, he has no genuine concern for his students, and basically I think he just likes the sound of his own voice. Unless you enjoy ruining your GPA and spending a quarter wasting your money and time...I would avoid his class at all costs.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! WOrst professors ever. Makes you buy his book and read too many pages a night. Lectures are boring and he uses pointless powerpoints for nothing. Class was overall very hard, 3 suprise quizzes worth 30% of your grade, long research paper that requires a lot of outside research. If you don't have a car like me, don't take this class b/c you'll have a hard time getting to your research location. Professor Hernandez-leon doesn't care at all about his students' learning. He'll especially favor u if you can speak Spanish or is Hispanics. The class was supposed to be Sociology of Immigration, but you only learn about Mexican immigration? What happened to all the other immigrant groups? Class was ever disorganized and useless!

Professor Heernandez-Leon is the worst professor at UCLA. What kind of professor gives 3 surprise quizzes worth 10% each? WTF is that about? Not only are there surprise quizzes, but you're required to do a 10-12 page paper on an ethnic enclaves. The paper itself was too time consuming. He does not care about his students and his lectures are boring. Don't take this class if you don't like reading over a 100 pages a night and spending your free time researching your final paper!
