The professor seems very sweet and approachable. I recommend sitting closer to hear him better because if you're far away, it might be hard to understand. If you keep up with the readings, you should be fine. I never really went to lectures or read and still managed a C +. So, if you do the readings regularly, you should get a high grade easily. My TA was Kelsey and she was nice and understanding, I recommend her !

I took this class for my major and definitely did not expect to get a B+, but I was thrown off by the midterm. Other than that, I found the content really interesting and it could have been my own fault that I never took advantage of office hours or anything. The paper was also relatively easy, I thought mine was horribly written but I still got a 92. Lectures are boring and can be confusing or hard to understand due to the accent. Read the textbook if you can, I think my only downfall was that I second guessed myself a lot on the exams. Not a bad prof, but if you're choosing between Villareal and another with a higher rating then perhaps choose the other.
