Wonderful professor, very passionate and approachable

He is very passionate about what he teaches which is great and even tries to get you involved in things outside of class which is amazing! Definitely just have to read and study to make sure you know IDs, the readings and films well and understand all the important concepts they try to get across for the midterm and final. Great at connecting.

Amazing professor. You can tell he really cares about his lessons and students. He trys to get to know. each of his students and listen to them. As long as you do the readings and know definitions to specific words you cannot fail. Would take his class again!

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.
