Reviews of professor April Baca

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
For the level class I took, was not expecting it to be so reading heavy and lecture heavy. The readings are extremely profound. Have trouble understand heavy words and don't have time to research every other word in the readings? Or lectures? Don't take it. She is extremely well versed in the topic, very passionate.

The work is really easy, you write about at least one of the texts she posts on canvas every week. The final is a 6-8 page paper, but if you don't procrastinate you'll do well. It's mostly writing which might not be 'fun' but it's not hard.

amazing course if you're an art or art history major but probably difficult if you're coming from a different area of study (idk I think these upper division classes assume you already know some things?)

This class was the WORST class Ive ever taken. Its a capstone but she teaches as if we were art majors! She reads off script the entire class & uses an overtly wide vocabulary that makes it even that much harder to understand. I dont recommend taking this class, very disappointed & annoyed that I had to sit the whole quarter through this.

I really appreciated that attendance was made optional since we're all still learning online right and still have jobs, kids, and more that we need to attend to. Gives opportunities for extra credit/submitting late work too.

This prof is pretty cool. We recently had a big in-class discussion about how hard the material is and she was totally open to changing things around so that it's not as hard on the class. I think the problem is a lot of people weren't saying anything/asking questions and still expected things to change.

Cool prof. She looks pretty young (thought she was a student at first) and relates a lot of the material to pop culture/social media. Reading is hard, but she explains most of it in class.
