Professor Akers is a great professor! He makes learning Chicano history enjoyable. There are no tests or books, just a lot of online readings that you should take the time to read. He's very passionate and easy-going, I would definitely recommend taking him for 141A & B! As long as you work diligently and show up to class, it'll be a breeze.

Very interesting to see that he is of Mexican and Anglo descent, and interesting the effort he gives to continue both of his heritages but in partcular the Mexican side.

His class was by far the best I`ve taken at SWC. He is very clear in his lectures, very sarcastic and funny. Attending and paying attention to his classes is the key to a good grade. I would definately take his class again.

Definitely assigns a lot of reading!! Gives 10 pts for participating in class discussions about the reading. Kind of hard to follow along in lectures-- he talks while you are trying to copy down the powerpoint. Rambles during lecture, makes it hard to pull out key points. Is willing to look over your notes and make sure you are prepared for tests.

He tries to make it seem like its going to be a hard class, yet when it comes down to it his tests and quizzes are fairly easy if you do the readings. Stay on track with the powerpoints and do the Reading reviews and you will do just fine.

He was a nice teacher. He wasn't really funny, but he does give lots of examples to make you understand. He's got the best powerpoints I've ever seen and you can learn quite a bit from them. He gives a lot of readings and work, so just stay committed. It's not a real fun class to take, but it can be an easy class. He needs to work on his teaching.

Truly one of my 2 best teachers. Still here "advising" me in the movement. If you really want to learn about the movement of la RAZA, definitely take this class. Its hard, but worth it, and I should know 'cause I used to be a lazy boy!

Funny and snippy all at once. Will bury you in work but his teaching style gives you incentive to actually do it and retain the knowledge. Can go off on tangents but usually catches himself before it gets too serious. DO NOT COME TO THIS CLASS IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE OR ASLEEP!

Awesome, down-to-earth and helpful. He's very accessible which makes you feel like he's more your friend than teacher.

Was a really good class.Very interseting.He did know what he was talking about. The only thing is WATCH HIS GRADING!He "accidentaly" gives your points to others and turns extra credit into assignments when most of the class does it.
