Reviews of professor Nathan Cartagena

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Cartagena is one of the best professors I've ever had. Always puts in 110% effort into each lecture, truly cares and understands his students, and really knows what he is talking about. He isn't afraid to be honest and will blow your mind with his insights. 100% recommend his class to gain extremely helpful perspective on race in America.

Dr. Cartagena is an incredibly intelligent professor. He has many anecdotes from his past that have clearly impacted his view of the world. Classes are almost exclusively lecture with small group discussions throughout every class. If you show up and do the work, incredibly easy A. He has some views that aren't particularly palatable for Wheaton.

Dr. Cartagena is great!  He has strong opinions but is super kind and always willing to hear opposing ideas.  He really knows his stuff, is great at answering questions, and is just generally a great guy.  I was able to reach out to him when I was dealing with some personal stuff and he was super understanding and empathetic.  Take him if you can!

Dr. Cartagena is a super caring guy. He is definitely passionate about Race and Justice and even cries often about sensitive topics. Super easy class as far as work, but also challenging emotionally. The class is overall fairly engaging, but you do have a daily assignment. As long as you complete them, you'll be totally fine.

Dr. Cartagena is an amazing professor. He works very hard to prepare great classes and is always honest and caring with his students. He values everyone's thoughts and opinions and does a fantastic job of including everyone. He also works hard to instill valuable life lessons and teachings that go beyond the course work.

My absolute favorite professor at Wheaton. He is such a caring individual and the class goes so much deeper than just grades. Cares deeply about his students and has an amazing backstory. My perspective on so many things were changed and challenged. Absolutely the best

Professor Cartagena has great lecturers. Comes to every class very prepared to give each lecture his all. However, for a 100 level class he grades very harshly. If looking to take this class for credit, I would definitely reconsider.

Very passionate lecturer. Lectures were definitely very insightful. However for a 100 level course, grades very harshly.  Philosophy is that points are earned, not given. Respectable philosophy, but does not give out As

Cartagena is the most knowledgeable, patient, and truly caring teacher I have ever had. He worked alongside me when I fell very ill for a lot of class and made it evident he cares more for students than he does a grade. Also- Cartagena knows his stuff. He is very trustworthy and is willing to have deep, thought provoking conversations. Amazing prof
