Reviews of professor Jose Aparicio

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Great class! Tons of extra credits, enough to cover up your grades. Many readings/videos provided, learnt a lot from those. He teaches for knowledge and personal growth, not for the grades. Tough grading on the papers, but don't worry, finish the extra credits will get you >100% overall grades. Easy weekly assignments and 3 papers for the quarter.

Grading is complicated and very biased. Most discussions/lectures are about race and racism. I think he considers himself a victim and encourages us to find our inner victim, whether it be related to our race, gender, religion, sexuality, or something else. If you have a positive experience or differing viewpoint he doesn't want to hear it.

This professor was extremely unorganized. This is reflected in his lectures when he will go off on tangents and in his canvas course, which is extremely hard to navigate. This professor tended to be ruder than others in the English department as well during communications.

The class is pretty straight forward. Everything is broken down into weeks where you have work to do. Three major essays that you pretty much get at least a B for just trying to do it. He gives lots of feedback. The readings for the class have been the best part.

Class has three major essays. Discussion post, peer reviews, and reflections. He comments a lot but hands out 90s easily if you pay attentionto the comments he leaves on the rough draft (but again, its a lot). He's easy to reach. I appreciated getting that kind of critical comments on essays but I can see how.some might find it harsh.
