Casillas is really nice and the material was all very interesting! However, most content in the lectures included stuff that had nothing to do with the assignments/papers. Papers and assignments were not that hard or bad though, but it was relating stuff from the material to your own experiences/life. Overall, it was a fun class!

I loved Casillas. Took this class as a GE and ended up really enjoying it. Super engaging, knowledgeable, & kind professor. Assignments prompt you to relate class material to your own life experiences. As long as you go to lecture, sections/assignments are much easier. 10/10 would take another class with her if I could.

I really enjoyed taking this class. Easy GE. 2 papers and one visual map assignment. I found the lecture topics to be very interesting and the paper topics as well. I am glad that the PowerPoint are posted because I personally think the slides go by too fast to be able to take proper notes. I think the reading amount was acceptable.

Dr. Casillas is the sweetest! Her lectures aren't mandatory, but they're pretty interesting. She's a really nice and caring prof and there are no exams. This class was super fun and I'd recommend taking it as a GE.

The lectures have nothing to do with the assignments that are painful. So far we wrote 2 single-spaced pages about our favorite songs (a lot more painful than it sounds) and 5 pages about your favorite piece of clothing. Ridiculous. Somehow despite almost graduating college I'm having to do assignments that feel like they belong in grade school.
