Comment:

My experience in Dr. Davis's class was very positive. It's easy to tell that he cares about his students and is really willing to go the extra mile to make the class fun and engaging. Actually read for his class, make a good faith effort to engage in class, and listen to his feedback on papers. If you do these things you should do well.

Comment:

Dr. Davis-Undiano's class rocked! He is a mentor and friend to students. He makes his classes exciting and is an inspiration to all students; not just minorities. My favorite part of class was the high level of group interaction and prof. feedback. Before this class I wasn't excited about Chicano Studies. Now I can't wait to learn more!

Comment:

His grading scheme is unclear. He is very biased. I got my A because I basically wrote what he wanted to hear. He is a very good human being though. I did learn a lot about Chicano culture from him. I wish he got better reviews but the criticisms here are valid. Take him though, you could certainly do worse!

Comment:

A very decent human being. However, as a professor he can seem aloof and self important. In the class I took (on "Chicano lit") he seemed only to be interested in the insights and opinions of the Latin American students. Does not always show up for appointments scheduled outside of class (he is a busy guy ...also edits a lit publication).

Unprepared and egocentric. Doesn't seem to know how to explain hard material, is unclear when you ask for help--and then slams you in the grading.

Comment:

His "teaching" amounts to reciting one P.C. cliche after another. He assigns irrelevant, fringe authors who happen to be his friends just so their books stay in print. I made an A in his class so I have no ax to grind. He's just not a good teach

Comment:

When you study under Davis you are studying under a true scholar. Check out his publications and editorships before you decide he is too difficult. The moaners who posted before me must have been looking for some blow-off class, as usual. SLACKERS!
