CHST184A consisted of weekly reading, questions, blog discussions, and essays. A lot of homework but no studying needed!

This class will test your self-discipline. The professor will not give you homework regularly. Regularly watching weekly readings and videos can help you get through midterms and finals. There's not too much pressure.

In this class Professor Hernandez gave lectures in class about the books and the Chicana writers. Some guest lecturers were included too. However, I did most of my work with my TAs. The TAs helped the most with the papers and preparing for the midterm & final which were take-home. Class was not bad, but not as interactive with professor.

Class itself wasn't too bad, grade consists of 4 papers and a group project presented in section. Lecture can get boring and isn't really necessary since the essays are based off reading. Hernandez can be condescending and will cut off students at times, especially if what they are sharing isn't something she agrees with.

Okay so the class is easy BUT holy moly does she assign wayyyy too much to read. She also will drag on a topic for 40 mins that only takes 15 mins to explain. Get ready to read and don't fall behind! Workload is ridiculous but content is manageable.

Completely terrible. The workload she assigns is inhumane. She expects you to read 100 pages in a single day, with questions on the reading due the very next day. Grade heavily depends on your TA. Lazily rehashes old material. Boring, outdated content.
