CHST1A is an easy class to pass. You literally cannot fail this class. If you show up to class, do the readings and attend your sections then you're basically set. I didn't do the readings until the last minute and still passed. Profe Ralph is super easy to talk to and is very passionate about what he teaches. You'll be fine.

Professor Ralph conducts lectures in a way that leaves you entertained and smarter regarding Chicano Studies. The class itself requires lots of reading and memorizing. Luckily, the Professor provides a study guide for both exams and the half of your grade comes from your section, so participate and attend your sections if you wish to pass.

i love him. he is so passionate and knowledgeable, and his class is genuinely worth your while. pretty reading-heavy, there are books to read on your own time. pay attention and take good notes! grading depends heavily on your ta, make sure you know what your specific ta is looking for. make use of office hours and outside of lecture sessions.

I love him so much. He cares about his students to the point where he'll come up to you to say hello. has such a big heart and provides countless opportunities for u to get involved with the content that ur learning about. as long as u ACTUALLY do all the required readings and make flashcards for the key terms, you'll ace the midterm and final.

Professor Armbruster-Sandoval made it clear how to succeed, and his passion for his students, what he teaches, and creating a positive learning environment was evident. Attendance wasn't required but I WANTED to come to lecture each week. Truly one of the best professors I've ever had at UCSB.

One of the most passionate professors I've ever had!
