Summer 2025 - I took this class through the freshman summer AAP program. The lectures were clear and easy to follow, but the workload was light, including the final assignment. Over time I stopped taking notes since much of the class involved watching movies. While the instructor occasionally shared interesting personal insights, the teaching relied heavily on reading directly from the slides.

Summer 2025 - At first, when starting this class, I thought I was going to be informed about something great about Chicano culture, but instead, I am always hearing this professor brag about himself for the whole lecture. I can't even talk in the lecture because he will kick me out! He kicked out former peer learning mentors for the class just because they were talking to each other. Worst of all, the slides aren't even posted online. I would never take another Chicano class if it's him teaching it. The lectures are very unengaging, and it's most of the time, he paraphrases the slides. The work is manageable tho.

Winter 2019 - This class was super easy. I didn't really pay attention in lecture and only read one book out of the two required. Just read one book and you'll be fine and take notes on the slides because he doesn't post them on ccle. If you need any of the books from the class (Critical Race Theory or The Latino Threat) message me, I'm selling them for cheaper than the UCLA store **********

Fall 2020 - I took this as a FIAT LUX, and glad I took it. Professor Romero is a super genuine, happy, and informative person. Obviously, this class is not hard at all. The only thing required to pass is one assignment at the end of the quarter. If you identify as a Chicano/a and want to learn more about your culture, then this class will do that. Even if you're not Chicano/a, it is still interesting. Be ready to get political though. Every class turned to a political topic. Overall, easy, interesting class.
