Class was not as exciting as I thought it would be. Very repetitive and to a certain point found lecture pointless. Overall, easy class only 3 short papers, 3 quizzes,and a final. Not too bad for one of my first classes at UCSB. Teaching skills could have been more entertaining; pretty dull towards the end.

Prof. Yosso was passionate about the course she was teaching but only stated her opinion on things instead of teaching the material. Lectures were boring/pointless & her study guide for the final did not help. If you keep up with the reading and know every term, you should be able to pass. Three quizzes, a midterm, final and paper were assigned.

Showed up to the first few days, got a feel for the professors style of lecture, and didn't show up to anything but sections until the final. The professor over exaggerates her voice and puts on an show like she's an actress on a stage. I could complain for days. Just don't take this class as long as Yosso is lecturing it.

She was a very annoying professor and her lecturers did not always make sense. The class had many readings that overlapped and she did not teach the course well.

Absolutely most annoying professor ever.Uses overly complicated words just to sound smart. I only enjoyed the readings and my section. (Take Magdas section)U will pull through if u read the reader and try to understand the material. Lies to u about her availability outside office hours, classifying you as not important enough for her time.

I could not stand this class. The professor's Minnesotan accent combined with her attempt to sound Mexican was nails on a chalkboard. I learned absolutely nothing from her lectures. Readings were unbearably boring. TA was unprofessional and cussed a lot in class and was a harsh grader. Course material was bogus. Do not take this class. Trust me.

Its honestly hard to describe how bad this professor is. She substitutes actual teaching for movies and when she tries to give a lecture she starts ranting about anything that crosses her mind. She blames everything on white people. I did not learn a single thing from her lectures. You should only take this class if you are desperate for GE's.

This is the worst class I've taken at UCSB. It is all structured around the extremely biased book that Yosso wrote and focuses on how white people are to blame for the bad situations that Mexicans are in. Her lectures are boring and repetitive as well, if you don't need to take this class, DON'T!

I really had high hopes for this class and was hoping for somewhat familiar topics since the focus was to be on culture - most of the class was almost all focused on education and history. I usually don't want to believe negative reviews on here, but I should have. I would only recommend this class to anyone interested in "ChicanA/O" supremacy

Horrible professor. Does not know how to use computers, often pauses in lecture, unsure of what to talk about. Stretches concepts to death. My TA was somehow even worse. The readings were actually quite interesting, but she never discussed them beyond just talking about her own book. Often showed movies instead of lecturing. Very easy class, though

Truly an awful class. She has no idea what she's saying and repeats lectures frequently. The worst class I've taken so far

I hate this class with a passion do not take it. It is not worth the many GE requirements it satisfies you will be stressed out and annoyed for 10 weeks of your life.
