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.

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.

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.
