You won't find a better teacher on this planet! He changed my life. I have had many teachers, and he is the most engaged, caring and a fabulous artist. He is willing to make you part of his life: 15 years after taking his class he still remembers me! I became a teacher and artist because of him.

Comment:
Prof. Montoya is amazing. He truly has the ability to make you look at the world through a completely different view. Truly eye-opening, especially because he was an pretty famous and important person in the Chicano movement of the 60s and 70s and even today. He has first hand experience that is unlike anything you can imagine. A unique experience

Malaquias changed my life! He was the most memorable professor of all my 7 years of college so far. He really treats you like a person, not a number, and his community murals inspired me to become a muralist. I wouldn't be the same without him.

Class is easy overall, you must attend class because he takes roll. Just do the readings and you will be fine. Also, he sometimes picks on random people of no one participates. Good Class though!

make sure you do your readings...he will pick on you and ask you what you think about the readings during class discussions...it will help you out with your participation grade.

Without a doubt, he is one of the best professors that I have ever had. He is very amiable - he had the entire class over to his house for a final critique and potluck. I found him to be a wonderful teacher and mentor.

Knows his subject very well. Class can become very political. He holds very strong views and doesn't hold back on making them known to the class. Opposing views aren't exactly welcomed with arms wide open.
