Summer 2023 - So for CCAS 10B I had Paula Ayala during the summer course. She's super nice and seems pretty lenient. Overall the class is boring but worth taking. It's an easy A since there are literally only 2 assignments which are two essays both 5 pages and they're based on a topic of your choice by using the readings she provides for you to create an argument and write about. The class is super easy. It's 10% participation and 10% attendance while the essays are worth both 40%. Seeing as I'm writing this while on week 5, I don't know exactly how she grades on the essays since she hasn't submitted any grades. But seeing as she also didn't provide much information or rubric on how to write the essays we should be fine. I also got by without readings some of the texts she provides since in class she talks about it but her lectures are kind of all over the place. Overall take the class for an easy A.

Winter 2023 - i took this class completely online so i'm not sure how different it would be now, I also took it about a year ago so I kind of forgot most of it but since there's no reviews I thought this might be slightly helpful. we had small 1-2 page reflections every week based on the readings, which were graded on completion. then, we had three longer papers (4-5 pages) in which we had to create an argument based off of the readings. in short, all you had to do was have a general understanding of the readings in order to do well in this class, since all the assignments were based on the readings. my ta omar was great, would 100% recommend taking him if you can. you'll do fine as long as you try your best. the material was pretty interesting.
