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.

Professor Casillas has a lot of passion for the subject, and the lectures are interesting. The midterm, final, and group presentation are all very easy.

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.

Very easy ge with no exams just 2 papers and 2 projects. Never showed up to lecture but section attendance and participation was required.

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.
