I never write reviews but here I am. I feel compelled to help out my fellow gauchos, and warn all to not take this class. The material and classroom discussions are interesting and intriguing but this grading criteria is extremely unclear. His way or the highway, dont even try to voice your opinion because it will be "wrong."
Severely disappointed. Words can't express how much I hated him. Subject material is fine, but he's a tough grader. He is what they call "basura." Didn't turn in grades on time, didn't show up to office hours. For sure an unfair grader! Save yourself and your GPA, and your time, and your tears, and SKIP OUT ON THIS PROFESSOR!!!
Lomeli has a lot of weird criteria that are hard to follow. He thinks about the books in his own way, and isn't really open to other interpretations. He grades essays/tests very harshly, and assigns a heavy amount of reading. There are extra credit opportunities if you make in-class presentations. Your grade is 1 MT, 1 final, essay, and attendance
I took this class this past summer and loved it! I was able to use my brother's reader from summer 2010 and all the books were the same too! He has you read a novel, a series of short stories, a short play and some poems from the reader. He gives you extra credit for participation, so participate as much as you can and ALWAYS attend class!
Attendance is mandatory during summer. Interesting lectures, but his opinion is the only opinion. Papers were difficult because he wanted "new" ideas about the subjects, but everything was covered in class. Tests were very easy as long as you went to lecture.
Awefull class! too lazy to write more. he sucks tho
