He may be the most dramatic teacher ever, but truly the easiest. Couple papers which are more about you than the readings. A couple novels that are all explained online. If you 'open' up about yourself in your papers your getting an A!!! So easy.

This professor was really nice and passionate about the material but I think that was his flaw. He gets too carried away & doesn't necessarily teach (he cries mostly all the time). He's more concerned about starting a "revolution" than actually informing people of what is going on. Overall, it was an okay class.

worst experience I ever had going to this class. I took it when the SB 1070 Arizona Immigration law came about and he cried trying to get people to fight against it. Every class felt like a revolution meeting with unintelligent students shouting out like it was a revolution. I literally felt uncomfortable in class.

Seriously, find another class to fill whatever prereq you need. It's easy to get annoyed during lecture with his "teaching" style. Most of the stuff we were tested on wasn't even covered in class. Professor is a tool, talked to him once but never bothered going back to him because he was useless and did more harm then good. UGH.

By far the worst class I have ever taken. I'm surprised he hasn't drowned in his own tears already. He will go on rampages about things that have nothing to do with the course description and won't listen to opinions opposing his. Too much reading with no purpose. His lectures are annoying. Test are ridiculously difficult. Do not take this class.

Probably one of the worst classes I've ever taken...the professor is a pretty nice guy for the most part (except the time he humiliated a girl for disagreeing with him) but the material he teaches isn't anything close to the course description, his passion (read:crying)gets old quick, and he focuses on the most specific,useless information on tests

Save urself some time and your sanity..do NOT take this class with Armbruster. TONS of reading, some have nothing to do w/ Chicano culture, tests do not cover any material discussed, passionate but spends too much time preaching and trying to get you to agree w/ his views than actually teaching anything of substance. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS

He is very passionate about what he talks about, but he does not talk about what is described in GOLD's online description. If you want to learn about the Chicano/a culture this is NOT for you. If you want to hear complaining about poverty and immigrant rights then by all means take the class. Also expect to read...a lot.

This professor is simply amazing! He sincerely cares about his students and his teaching style is great! I love how he gets his students engaged in the material he teaches! I highly recommend this professor!

Amazingly great professor, he is really concerned with you as a person. Does not throw in your face that he has a Ph.D. which makes him feel more approachable to share personal problems. Fantastic teacher!

Omg he was the best professor Ive had so far. He is definately passionate and inspiring. Plus the issues addresed in the class are really interesting. You learn a lot...BUT lots of reading.

Great professor. He was very passionate about his teaching which makes you engage in the reading as well as in the class. The reading is a lot but its very interesting, make sure you always attend lecture. Lecture is pretty fun.
