CollegeDr. Zulueta is such a sweetheart and genuinely cares about what he's teaching. He is always on top of responding to emails and concerns, and just wants you to succeed. There are weekly readings for the class but they're really not too hard and line up with his lecture material, so I recommend reading them.
Dr. Zulueta is very understanding and approachable outside of class, and the material covered in this course was interesting. However, I found the slides unhelpful when looking back and reviewing to write papers.
Zulueta is easily one of the worst professors I've ever had. His lectures lack content completely and fail to address the learning objectives with any detail or depth. The entire time he's talking he says nothing. All of the readings are long and very dense. Nothing gives enough info to be able to write the papers well. DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS.
I really enjoyed the readings in the class, but the lectures were not helpful whatsoever. However I LOVED the TA for this class. The sections are pretty interactive, comfortable, and eyeopening.
Pro Zulueta is very approachable and genuinely cares for the success of his students. although the course could be organized better, it's truly the professors who care about their students that makes it worth it to attend class. He's also very reachable outside of class to answer questions and of course, assist you during office hours.
Zulueta is a great professor! I don't understand the hate. He tries really hard to connect with the class and offers many opportunities for participation points. It's not hard to get a good grade if you show up. I didn't do all of the readings but still succeeded. No midterm or final. Graded on 3 writing assignments and a final essay.
