Reviews of professor Gabriel Buelna

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Going to class feels like a wast of time. Mainly graded on 3 major assignments. 1. A mid-term(3 short essays in class) 2. A research paper. 3. A final essay(take home). Have some weekly assignments to comment on reading or just watch a video. Main book used is Occupied America. Recommend this class if you want an easy upper div GE/gov GErequirement

This professor is the worst professor I have ever had. His class is awful, unstructured, and a huge waste of time.  I wasted time, money, and effort with this professor. He says he will do things like grade your essay by Friday or within 24 hours, but he doesn't. It's the end of the first semester and I still do not know my grade for this class.

CSUN uses canvas - Bulena doesn't. He lists no grades (only emails them). His assignments aren't in the calendar, but come as announcements (which means they don't show in the dashboard). He misspells basic words like "good" in the sparse emails he sends. What the mid-term was graded on came in the grading email, instead of with the prompt. Beware.

There are essays due every week based on the reading and articles/videos he attaches. This is the only homework he assigns and although class isn't mandatory, the essays do count towards participation. There are no other tests or quizzes (strictly essay based), however there is a powerpoint presentation on a chapter from the book.
