CollegeZulueta is a nice guy, but this class was very mediocre. The class consists entirely of lectures, and the structure and organization of the class' content don't make sense. There are a lot of readings, but they're not required whatsoever. He encourages participation but rarely asks the class to do anything. 6 assignments total, and an easy final.
Zulueta disregarded a derogative comment on Black People in a Filipino American class. Furthermore his class structure might just be the worst thing to ever exist. It has already been about 4 weeks now and he still hasn't had a real lesson plan and he just tends to ask really surface level questions.
Best lecturer I've had here. Engaging. Weekly reflections and moderate amount of reading if you choose to do it. Not difficult. Rlly big focus on learning over a grade. Rewarding if you go to class. Like a more engaging history class w/o memorization. Super small class. You'll actually try in the class bc the prof is so sincere. take it!
Prof Zulueta has amazing lectures. He's very passionate about his courses. Class is only Midterm & Final blue books, that's it. If you're good with blue books, take it! Or if you're interested in learning about As-Am. His classes will change your perspective and they are worth it. Lots of readings!
