Reviews of professor Manuel Velez

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Didn't grade anything until after the class ended. Poor AV quality lectures that haven't been updated in years. Too much political bias. Speaks and teaches opinion as fact. Promotes victim mentality. Unavailable to talk to. It basically seemed like he just threw a bunch of stuff on canvas that was from previous classes and left for the summer.

He's SO hard to get a hold of - he rarely responded to emails, and was never around for office hours. Ironic, since part of out participation grade is from interacting with him. Incredibly slow on grading. Long, long lecture vids. If you're a good writer and skimmer, you'll be fine. Quizzes are doable. It's just a lot to read :(

He is super nice but he takes forever to grade things and never responds to emails. there are a lot of writing assignments but he gives you a prompt for each one so it's fairly easy. the quizzes are also fairly easy you can redo them and the answers are literally on the reading that he gives you.

I took Professor Velezs Chicano 210 and it was my favorite class of the semester. The class was very easy and his lectures were very interesting. Not a lot of homework just a take home quiz and case study about every 2 weeks.

This class was fully online and 8 weeks. Usually 8 week courses are really fast pace and a lot this class was really easy to follow. This Professor posted videos explaining each assignments and would post lectures but was really useful. There would be about 2 assignments each week which was nice.

Professor Velez was truly one of my favorite Professors at Mesa College. He is passionate about Chicano Studies and a very smart man. I took his class in person but his exams and papers were turned in online this made it easier to pass the class. He is very engaging and is a story teller. Take Velez if you are passionate in Chicano studies.
