Comment:
Was excited to take this class w Ralph but soon enough I was so over it. This guy is ridiculous! Cries every other day, constantly preaching about Christ, had nothing to do with Chicanao Studies, and basically forced us into doing a "social movement" on campus. He really needs to know where his boundaries are and when not to cross over.

Comment:
Undeniably a well-meaning person, but is far too emotionally unstable to be considered a competent professor. Did very little objective teaching, and lectures/materials/exams were all over the place. Class was not structured, grading expectations were consistently unclear, and Ralph would cry during class on a weekly to semi-weekly basis. Avoid.

Comment:
I agree he is very passionate but he's not a good teacher. He taught with his heart rather than his brain which led him to be rude and biased. He did not accept anyone's opinion if it was not similar to his. Horrible class and horrible professor.

Comment:
very passionate teacher about social justice. he gets really into his lectures and puts himself on the verge of tears. no need to take notes in class. just listen to what he has to say and read the books and you should do fine. all about class unity and a different kind of classroom environment. wants to make you passionate about social issues

I took his black and brown metropolis and forgot the course number so I just put 1A. this guy is a tough grader, but a great professor, and for some reason he always talking about something called "a nikokoya." i don't know, it was weird. He's a good author too.

One of the greatest people ive had the pleasure to meet, a wonderful human being who cares about what he teaches and cares about those he teaches. He will challange you to think outside the box and more importantly to work to crate change outside the box.
