He is a nice guy and knows his stuff, but he does not teach very well. His lectures are so easy but you have to read tons of material on your own and his tests are tricky.

Morales knows how to tactfully approach certain topics and address them in class for students to discuss. He was respectful of student's opinions and views and was lenient with the reading load. Written assignments were quite managable. It sometimes seemed like the course objectives were not his priority--some might call that "laid back." Easy A.

Try to keep up with the assignments and you'll pass. Get ready to watch videos but pay attention because he'll give quizzes about them so pay attention to detail he's usually tricky with that. I've learned to carry scantrons with me at all times because he'll randomly give a 10 question quiz at least twice during the semester. Overall, he's great.

To be honest, History is my worst subject and I had no interest in taking Chicano Studies 8 course. The only reason I took this class was because Prof Morales has jokes and was very passionate about this subject. He made his lectures relatable, clear, and they offered a different perspective. Be prepared to do much reading. Overall, he is on point.

The worst online class I have ever taken. The assignments are not clear whatsoever. Quizzes based on textbook so it is necessary to have. Essays written on historical figures are easy and researched online. Some of the information taught isn't referenced in the quizzes or essays so it is a little confusing knowing what is going to be on tests, etc.

This professor may be funny, but he is the absolute worst in terms of communication. He will not respond to an email for days. His assignments are simple and there are only two exams. Class lectures are rushed and unorganized. He mainly shows movies and youtube videos that teaches a majority of the lessons. He leaves the classroom fairly often.

I took the winter 4-week class wasn't too bad. He required a paper or two a week (400 words each). Sometimes I don't even think he read the papers just gave full credit for the writing and bibliography completion. He gave 3 tests and a final but ended up pulling two tests at the end of the semester so it was pointless even to do them. Easy A+
