Spring 2025 - Amazing professor, considering it was my first upper-division honors course through Honors Collegium. I had a great time in this class, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a course that is entirely dependent of reading literature/lecture slides and willing to put in the effort to work towards a term paper due at the end which comes close to about 20 pages. It's a pretty doable course if willing to put in the effort. Professor Santa Ana is very caring and compassionate to working with students and will go out of his way to help you.

Fall 2020 - Professor Santa Ana...is odd. On one hand, I can tell that he really does enjoy teaching and he does try his hardest to teach in lecture. I definitely learned some things that are interesting that I would love to learn more about. HOWEVER, this course is...Not great. The professor was unclear in his grading methods, and I think internet communication made everything worse. I wouldn't recommend this course - it isn't exactly what I envisioned a Chicano studies course to be. It was boring, rough around the edges, and it needs a LOT of refining. The readings were insanely long, assignments confusing, and it was just a bad vibe all around. You can always make your own choice, but I wish I read the reviews before I took this class with this professor.
