Dull moments are a rarity in Professor Morales class. He is very knowledgeable and his lectures are intriguing. I definitely learned a great deal and have been inspired to continue diving into Chicano Studies. The field trips were informative, fun, and thought provoking. Multiple quizzes, short papers, and lots of reading. He is receptive.

Professor Morales is a gem. He is hilarious and really cares about his students. Don't take his jokes seriously he's just sarcastic. His classes are always relatable.

Comment:

To be honest, History is my worst subject and I had no interest in taking Chicano Studies 8 course. The only reason I took this class was because Prof Morales has jokes and was very passionate about this subject. He made his lectures relatable, clear, and they offered a different perspective. Be prepared to do much reading. Overall, he is on point.

Professor Morales is a great teacher. His lectures are filled with passion and humor. Although some jokes may be inappropriate it's not to be taken to heart. He really cares about the material & the assignments that are given have purpose. He deserves his title and I would take his class again. Read it will help you ;)

Try to keep up with the assignments and you'll pass. Get ready to watch videos but pay attention because he'll give quizzes about them so pay attention to detail he's usually tricky with that. I've learned to carry scantrons with me at all times because he'll randomly give a 10 question quiz at least twice during the semester. Overall, he's great.

Morales is definitely one of my favorite professors. He's really funny and assionate about the material. His tests are kind of hard but you really have to pay attention to the videos, lectures, and read the book because he likes to take certain lines out of them and put them on the tests.

Comment:

I had him for Chicano art (online). I personally never used the book at all and it wasnt hard following along. Overall not a bad teacher. He assigned an essay and another VERY last minute one after the final. Does not respond to emails; I emailed him about twice but no response. The brochures are such a pain to do; there were about 16-20 total.

His class was enjoyable. I don't really like Chicano studies but a lot of ppl reccomended his class. You have a couple of brochures which are a pain as well as pop quizzes and a midterm/final. He tells you information as they are with a humorous twist. You also go on field trips. Cool guy and a laid back class. Easy class overall. Would reccomend!

Late review but I took Professor Morales Chicano 7 class, his class was fun and went by fast. He does offer extra credit when you participated in class. Do the reading, the quizzes are based on the book. Take notes when he shows you videos.
