Amazing

Figueroa is an awesome professor! She is a great lecturer and super caring of her students. Her class is not difficult at all, so long as you do the readings. And the reflective journal is super helpful for the final, its totally worth it. She is one of the best professors I'd had in UCSB.

This class was a bit of a mess sometimes, but I can promise you that it will be worth it. Theresa is a great lecturerwho really cares. We had some guest lecturers which I really appreciated. If you do the readings somewhat and attend class you'll get a good grade. The sections take up a lot of time but are rewarding if you get along with your TA.

As long as you do the readings, this class isn't very difficult. The lectures can get a bit tedious and lengthy, and the readings are very long. Still a very interesting class, make sure you don't put off the readings, they do pile up!

She had us keep a reflective journal that we had to update every week with a brief summary and a 2 page reflection of that week's readings. She changed the grading criteria/format for this assignment every week. It was TONS of work and only counts for 10% of the grade. Also the readings are dense and she stopped putting slides online 2 weeks in.

One of the worst professors I have ever taken at UCSB. There's so many readings per week, and a reflective journal that you have to write in weekly. Her lectures are very boring, unorganized, and not clear. Everything is based on TA grading. Also, she will sometimes speak in Spanish and never translate it back to English.
