CHST184A consisted of weekly reading, questions, blog discussions, and essays. A lot of homework but no studying needed!
Completely terrible. The workload she assigns is inhumane. She expects you to read 100 pages in a single day, with questions on the reading due the very next day. Grade heavily depends on your TA. Lazily rehashes old material. Boring, outdated content.
Absolutely awful. Inhumane the amount of work she gives. She expects you to read like 50-100 pages in ONE DAY and the very next day those reading questions are due. Wouldn't budge on the grading policy until she was hounded by hundreds of students. Depends on your TA but they make or break your grade.
Absolutely hated the lecture style. Online course, two people presented each day. Heard from the professor during class sporadically before and after presentations. Not what I wanted from the course, I wish there were real lectures.
Professor Hernandez is intelligent and knowledgeable. Personality may not be for everyone, as she may come off as tough or rude. Expects participation and there's a group presentation at the end. The readings weren't too bad, but they are important for the 3 response papers. Class content is interesting and easy A if you do the work and show up.
This class will test your self-discipline. The professor will not give you homework regularly. Regularly watching weekly readings and videos can help you get through midterms and finals. There's not too much pressure.
