LING187 . Casillas D I 7 Years Ago

Online midterm and final exams, which were hard if you didn't do the readings and go to all of the lectures. Two simple and straightforward papers. Pop quizzes in section. TAs and Prof are accessible. This class was great and I definitely learned a lot!

Content was great, lecture is not mandatory but it is very helpful to go because she pretty much sets you up for the final. Readings also important to read as they do help with understanding the concepts. Smart and beautiful lady too.

LOVE HER. Amazing content (I'm an LC&S major), and she's a fantastic lecturer. She's very funny, genuine, and intelligent without being condescending or over-demanding. She's always up for talking to students outside of class about various things, and she's enlightened me about a lot of topics in the realm of language politics. Take this class!!

Pretty demanding class, as with most ethnicity classes. Lots of reading and a variety of assignments. But prof Casillas is a fantastic lecturer! Loved her personal anecdotes. She knows what she is talking about and who she is talking to. Very competitive to be a TA so they are good as well. Taking this class was a very positive experience!

She treats her class like it is an upper div. She thinks everyone cares heavily when everyone is taking her class for an easy A. It is an easy A.

Professor Casillas is a passionate professor; however she would often push one-sided political messages in lecture. She would present political arguments while never providing a counterargument against her claims. To put things in perspective, I would have never imagined a day where a college lecture promoted 400 lb "body positivity" influencers.
