Spring 2025 - I took CCAS 101 with Professor Romero-Chao as a required class, and overall, it was a very manageable and light course. The class covered a variety of foundational theories in Chicano Studies, and while there was a fair amount of reading, the overall workload wasn’t heavy at all. Some weekly reflections, attending section, two exams, and a final 6-7 page paper was manageable. One of the best parts of the class was how easy it was to keep up with the material. The structure made it easy to succeed if you stayed on top of the terms and main concepts. The exams were a mix of multiple choice, true/false, and fill-in-the-blank questions. They could be a little tricky, but nothing too difficult, studying the readings and understanding the key ideas was enough to do well. Professor Romero-Chao is a good professor, and I’d definitely recommend this course with this professor to other students. If you’re looking for a light course, this is a solid pick. Easy A if you put in just a bit of effort.

Spring 2023 - This was one of the best classes I've taken at UCLA. Professor Romero helped us breakdown the cases involved in the history of affirmative action. We had great conversations in his class. I find him to be fair and pastoral, even if you don't agree with him. Read the cases, go to class and go to discussions and you'll be just fine. Grading is based off a weekly discussion post, midterm and Final. He did offer extra credit throughout the course, so take advantage.

took the affirmative action course 150, winter 2013. Romero is quite the advocate. Sometimes i felt (along with several of my friends who took this course with me) that he pushes his liberal agenda on students. Several instances where he makes you feel bad for being middle class. I remember one lecture during the quarter he was talking about the 11 million illegal latinos there are in america and how they should ALL be given citizenship. I dont know about all that. Overall his class was really boring. You read court cases off a powerpoint and take two tricky quizzes that ull prob end up getting B's on. The take home final is 60%, and we still havnt recieved our grade for the class (its been 11 days already..) Romero in my opinion is racist towards white people. I really hated going to class because of this, i really did not enjoy hearing his racist agenda. UCLA shouldnt have professors that make you feel this way.
