A very kind professor who is very passionate about what he teacher. This course had many long readings but there were overall interesting. he cares about his students outside of class and is easy to reach. He is flexible and definitely willing to work with you.

One of the best professors out there. He really cares not just about teaching but he wants to get to know you and connect with his students. His lectures will have you tearing up from how powerful he speaks and teaches. The midterm and final were very easy if you payed attention during lecture, even then you can do some last minute reading to help.

The prof was my favorite part about the class. I always left inspired because of the way he saw life. It left me thinking. Besides that, the class was easy. If you pay attention in lecture, the midterm/final exams will go smoothly. There is also a creative paper assignment to do which wasn't too bad because it is about your life.

Took his class this past summer, I enjoyed the material and the touching conversations we had. Prof. Ralph and TA's were very understanding and definitely recommend reaching out to him. For summer 2020 we had 3 papers and weekly discussion post. A is very doable! Pay attention to instructions when writing those essays.

Professor-yes a little disorganized but means well. Content(books, articles, films):amazing, inspiring, thought provoking,powerful(covers Central America as well) All majors should take it. Im a Chicana. Loved it. Had no classes like this in HS. Was going to take it later but glad I took it sooner. Mid,Paper,Sec Part,Fin-All make you thinkple

Alright so there aren't any textbooks, but he does have you read some books. They aren't boring, so they were easy to read! Make sure to attend lectures!! This class was one of the best I have taken so far, and I'm glad I took it with him 'cause he is such a passionate, caring man. The GOAT!
