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.
