This course covers the social science literature, including the causes and consequences of immigration, the economics and politics of immigration, the adaptation patterns of immigrants and their descendants, the impact on the societies left behind, and the long-term effects of immigration on American society.

Gives extra credit! She is very passionate and educated on the topics she discusses. I have taken two classes with her so far and always enjoy her lectures. Always tries to get to know her students and is very kind.

SOC124 . Arenas Velazq 1 Year, 13 Days Ago

Graded by 5 quizzes, in-class assignments (open and close for the duration of class, but can be completed anywhere), an in-depth interview, and a paper. The prof is very passionate about immigration, but did not present the material well at all. When she lectured it was confusing and other days she played films or had a guest. Offers extra credit.

I do not recommend taking classes with this professor. She changed the due date to the final the night before it was due. She is also not a good communicator, I made 3 attempts to contact her via email and got no response. Very unprofessional.

Many issues with this professor. There were limited directions and expectations were unclear. She also changed the due date the night before for the final is due. Giving us less than 24 hour notice. Also never responds to emails.
