Prof. Sanchez has probably been my favorite professor since I've been at the university. She is extremely knowledgeable and generally an amazing scholar, thinker, and teacher.

Can can be a little slow, but has extremely interesting readings! Great guest speakers and short films. Midterm is based off of readings and the final is a paper with your creative art piece. Would take another class with her again!

Amazing professor, fair grader, overall excellent experience

Dolores is an amazing professor! Took her for my Senior Seminar, lectures were super interesting and discussions were both enlightening and stimulating. The readings were long but very relevant to the course. Highly recommend taking a class with her!

Content was great, lecture is not mandatory but it is very helpful to go because she pretty much sets you up for the final. Readings also important to read as they do help with understanding the concepts. Smart and beautiful lady too.

LOVE HER. Amazing content (I'm an LC&S major), and she's a fantastic lecturer. She's very funny, genuine, and intelligent without being condescending or over-demanding. She's always up for talking to students outside of class about various things, and she's enlightened me about a lot of topics in the realm of language politics. Take this class!!

Pretty demanding class, as with most ethnicity classes. Lots of reading and a variety of assignments. But prof Casillas is a fantastic lecturer! Loved her personal anecdotes. She knows what she is talking about and who she is talking to. Very competitive to be a TA so they are good as well. Taking this class was a very positive experience!

Amazing class. Not a CH ST major or even Latino/a but I felt like I learned so much about Chicano culture that I have retained & carried with me. Prof. Casillas is a fantastic speaker & so passionate about the subject. Explains concepts clearly & helps you succeed. I read the 300+ pg reader cover to cover & I havent ever done that for my major.

She is a good speaker. I took the 3 week summer course only had to do a midterm, a critical analysis, and a final. Also gave extra credit by turning in your phone during lecture. She's really down to earth, funny, easy to understand, and does care about her students. She uses powerpoint in her lectures and posts them on Gauchospace.

Professor Casillas is a great professor who really cares about her students and wants them to succeed. Class was interesting and she taught it well. Put the work in and you will do well. Definitely recommend this course.

This was my first upper div, and I really enjoyed her class! She is funny and down to earth, and the subjects we cover are interesting. I got a lot out of the class. The more you go to lecture, the more you learn, and section is straight forward. Pretty easy too. The readings were good and she was a clear speaker. Definitely recommend this class!
