CollegeAbsolutely 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.
In this class Professor Hernandez gave lectures in class about the books and the Chicana writers. Some guest lecturers were included too. However, I did most of my work with my TAs. The TAs helped the most with the papers and preparing for the midterm & final which were take-home. Class was not bad, but not as interactive with professor.
