Reviews of professor Ruben Espinoza

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Super interesting class and interesting content. He does not take late work so stay on top of the readings and be ready to write

He's passionate about what he teaches and his lectures are so fun and engaging. Weekly readings are posted on Canvas and assignments consist of take-home quizzes(super easy), 5 reading responses(also easy), and the final is a research paper. I 100% recommend his class

I would recommend this course! Prof is really kind, can be a hard grader, but use the criticism to improve and he will definitely notice. Knowledgeable about Latinx culture and its very interesting.

SUPER SUPER EASY GE. This is the easiest A I have ever gotten. The class subject is boring, but the prof is a great guy himself. Super clear and easy grading criteria. If you do all the work on time you will be done with assignments for that class a month before the term ends. All you have is an essay for the final based off a movie you watch.

It isn't the most fun class, but it is a free A. Take it if you want an A or want to get rid of a GE. He's a really nice guy too.

Take this class if you want an easy A for GE. Although Professor Espinoza can be bit awkward at times, the class content is really interesting. He only requires one textbook for reading responses, and the quizzes are really easy if you do the reading. No midterm, and a paper final. Overall great class

Expectations are clear on the syllabus. If you don't agree drop the class. Lots of quizzes but easy if you read. Midterm and Final are essays. Overall, easy class as long as you read (fun readings). I really enjoyed his lectures in person and it sucks that it moved online. However, he tries to be engaging and is always accessible for any questions!

Class was basically a free period, very little homework, would recommend for an easy GE! He is also a super sweet guy and cares a lot about what he is teaching.

Pretty easy class. Easy quizzes and writings about the readings of the week. Gives a good amount of readings, but don't have to read them all. Attendance mandatory. Just lecture's with slides and songs. Goes off onto unrelated topics though. Also, shares his political views that don't correlate with the class and some sources shared are biased.

Professor Espinoza is very passionate and engaging. I learned a lot of new things in his class, and assignments were simple and straightforward. He was always finding new ways to engage with us and relate class topics to current events. Also, as someone who hates presenting, the class presentation was pretty easy and is nothing to worry about.
