Took him fall quarter for CHST1A and I loved the class so much. He is very passionate about what he teaches and sometimes gets emotional during class about certain topics which makes the class feel special and inspirational. There are readings and some are long but they are very interesting.

Professor Ralph is a very honest, down-to-earth professor who takes the time out of his day to connect with each one of his students. I took Chicano Studies 1A over the summer and it while it was a bit reading-heavy, the assignments and "exams" had clear expectations. He also provides amazing feedback.

Very personal and emotional setting. Engaging with the class regards of how large it is, went around with a mic handing it to students who were interested in sharing. Easy to engage with after or during class. There is a lot of reading (I believe at least two books and some articles). Lectures are sometimes just movies.

Prof. Armbruster was very nice and VERY passionate about what he teaches. However, the TA you get determines everything. I got a terrible, over the top TA who dropped my grade from an A to a C+ just from the final alone. Never got my final back, so I have no idea why she gave me such a low grade. Easy class, as long as you get an easy going TA.

This class was so interesting and included awareness of important topics such as immigration, politics, the wars in Gaza, Lgbtq+, and women. I felt inspired and left this class feeling more educated. The professor is amazing and really tries to connect with his students on a deeper level.

Great topics and lectures. Readings weren't difficult but could be long, definitely do them if you want to pass they'll likely be on the midterm or final. Professor was very genuine and cared for this topic which made lectures super interesting. He'd get emotional which was slightly awkward, but showed his passion and would definitely retake.
