Honestly, Ramirez is not a great professor. His class organization is inconsistent and unclear. He grades on the unnecessary work that he gives out instead of valid tests. Overall, he grades you on subjective information and assignments instead of objective and actual knowledge you know or have learned about US history. Handouts vs. Tests.

Okay teacher but not understanding at all. I feel like he was mad at me because I missed some classes due to an illness. He asked for doctors notes & when I gave them to him he didn't accept them.. He's very fickle & isn't there to help students succeed. Also if you disagree with his views I feel like that affects your grade. Overall bad experience

I was not in love with this class but I didn't hate it. You have no tests, which is nice- but you have quizzes on readings and these Reaction Papers about certain readings and if you aren't specific on your answers you will get a bad grade. And you have about 4 projects which are all papers except for one which was a field trip. Last paper is 10pgs

Everything he looks for is detailed in the syllabus and nothing changes. You are graded solely on the quizzes (which is the first class of the week that is over a chapter in the book) and the debates. Definitely read the material, or you will do terribly on the quizzes. Debates are not difficult as long as you research your topic. Very pleasant.

I absolutely love Professor Ramirez. His personal experience combined with his teaching style make his classes fascinating and engaging. In History of Native America, the field trip opportunities alone are worth taking the class for. There's a reason there's a plaque with his name on the wall.

Amazing professor! He would give us usual presuall assignments along with weekly quizzes. He does give plenty of opportunities for extra credit to boost your grade up and you will have to reach a chapeter every week because that's what the quizzes were based on. No big exams just a final project (audio interview) & a 500 word paper assignment!

If you are considering taking his asynchronous History of US Latinos/Latinas, please do! It was such an interesting and easy course. Assignments and quizzes are simple and quick to complete. Pretty easy A if all assignments are completed! He also gives multiple easy opportunities for extra credit. Amazing course and professor!

I would 100% recommend him. The work is easy and manageable, he gives great feedback on essays and assignments, he is always willing to help you out if you need it. You get extra credit just for participating and he's a pretty generous grader.

Professor Ramirez is super knowledgeable and clearly passionate about U.S. history. His lectures are structured and informative, with a good mix of big-picture ideas and specific examples. The pace for the summer course is quite fast, just 4 weeks long, but he was always open to clarifying things in office hours and through email. Great professor.

Professor Ramirez is a great teacher! I really enjoyed the 4 week course. The online assignments were very manageable - mostly reading articles, watching videos, answering a few questions, and responding to peers' comments. There was a test and essay due each week. I highly recommend taking a class with Professor Ramirez!

He is a great professor. I took the accelerated summer course so it was crammed into four weeks which was a challenge, but it wasn't a ton of work considering. He graded things quickly. Made weekly encouraging announcements and gave great feedback. Would definitely suggest taking his class if given the opportunity

I had a tough semester with a house fire and some other personal events in the family and Professor Ramirez was not only understanding but helpful and kind. He gave me hope again and I am so grateful to have had him as a professor. Great class, very informative.
