Collegesuch a good professor who is passionate about the topic and keeps you engaged. exams were online and open note, he wants us to learn rather than fail.
One of the best Chicano classes I've taken so far! Professor Batz implements in-class group quizzes, 2 major essays, weekly forum posts, and 3-4 individual assignments. Lot of reading but he does summarize in class.
I love Dr. Batz. Really seemed to care about his students, and provided clear guidelines on how he was grading. Two essays and weekly forum posts, but reading is interesting so it doesn't feel like homework. Love this professor and hope to take another course by him in the future.
