Professor Arroyo was clear with the way she shared and explained her slideshows, but I wish she included worksheets or social activities to help you test your understanding. This lecture consists of 2 classes and 1 discussion every week, you listen to lectures/take notes, show up for attendance, do weekly discussions, and are expected to do readings on your own. It's a good class if you learn by teaching yourself half of the subjects but terrible if you prefer to have guidance and clarification. We do have TA's that lead the discussions but it doesn't compare to group activities or physical paperwork that allows you to get answers to your questions.

This class does require a bit of outside research for the material on class, however, I would recommend this course to everyone.

This was my first class at UCLA as a Spanish major, and I loved it! Easy in the sense that there are no exams, and the final project is quite flexible, so you can do what you are passionate about. My TA was especially helpful with the worksheet assignments. I would take this class again!

Class is engaging despite often being at a late hour. Professor is funny and nice and will always answer any questions you have. Would take again 100%!

Professor Arroyo is a really great professor. Slides were clear and helpful, plus her worksheets are not that difficult if you are a great notetaker. You will need to pay attention in class to complete worksheets, unless you research on your own which can be more time consuming. Final project is a pretty big project and worth a good percentage of your grade but it is not difficult, just do not procrastinate. The TA I had gave great tips and was helpful the whole quarter. No textbooks are required and gives lots of extra credit and makes you log in your attendance through an app that counts towards your final grade as extra points. Readings are a bit much but nothing anyone cannot handle. Would definitely recommend her and take another one of her classes again.
