Spring 2020 - I absolutely loved this class with Dr. Chavira. Her lectures were straightforward and really informational. It was too bad we had the online platform, but she was a great professor nonetheless! I definitely recommend this class if you're interested in the disparities in cultures. You learn a lot of valuable information that opens your eyes to the differences among cultures. Our class consisted of 5 quizzes, 5 journal reflections in which you reflect on one of the assigned readings, 1 weekly discussion post, and 2 papers. One paper was about identity and the other was a research paper. Overall, Dr. Chavira presents her lectures clearly and communicates effectively with students. I definitely recommend taking her!

Professor Lopez is an awesome guy, this is one of the few classes I actually enjoy going to and look forward to attending. He is very clear and gives you the lecture slides ahead of time. There are no surprises on the tests, its based exactly on his lectures and readings, and he goes out of his way to talk to students and help them out. Very friendly and approachable guy. Class is very interesting, 3 journal assignments which you get to do in a group. You get to learn a lot about other people and this class really opens up your prespective on the way you look at things. Definitely recommend him to my friends.
