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.

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.

Fall 2023 - This class is made up of 2 take home quizzes that are open note, 4 reading reflections, and 1 annotated bibliography at the end of the quarter (makes up a lot of your grade). Not many assignments but super easy if you go to class, do the readings, and understand the material. She records lectures but there is a participation part of your grade that can be made up with the occasional in-class participation. The one con with this class is the reading/content load. Expect 50-100 pages of reading a week and sometimes a 30minute-2hour long documentary. All the content is super interesting about social justice and issues in Central America. I learned so much and I am very glad I took this class.
