I am in this class now and apparently nearly everyone in the course thinks that "easy" means the same thing as "no work." This is not the case. It was painful listening to group projects where people did the bare minimum to get by, and Prof. Guevara had no hesitation calling the groups on the carpet when their work was shoddy. This is college!

Prof. Guevara is great. I am done with De Anza and remember him as one of the teachers from whom I learned the most. TIPS: you have to attend class, show up on time, "be quiet" during his lectures, and hand in all projects. Trust me, if you do everything he ask you and you study for the (one) midterm and final, you'll get an easy A. Take him.

Easy class, interesting teacher. Assignments are few and far between-there are only about 4-5 total for the entire quarter, one of which is the final exam.

Easy "A" just show up to lectures and do the study guides. He tends to go fast during lectures so don't even attempt to take notes, all lectures/Videos are eventually posted online for you to review before a test. He never gives back graded tests tho so you'll never know what you got right or wrong. HE WILL NOT GIVE YOU THE TEST IF YOU'RE LATE!

I was looking forward to taking this class, but boy was I wrong about his class being an easy A class. The lectures are long, the book was never used, his study guide was not helpful for the exams. I have been going to De Anza for 3 years and if you are thinking of taking one of his classes beware he is not your typical helpful professor.

Worst of the worst!!! I thought this class was going to an average class. Its not its a Professor that does not like to help his students and sets them up to fail. His study guide for test is a joke. He is hard if you are OK on exams. If you are good at memorizing then you should be able to pass. He grades on exams that's it, prepare to fail.

Not an easy class as you would like. The subject is interesting, but the professor is a joke as he is not there to help. He is there to do a job and that is to get paid, not help you. His study guide is not helpful at all as almost none is on the exam. Try it at your own risk with this professor.

On the essays he collected he graded pretty tough. He never gave back the assignments and never gave feedback. All the books that were "required" were only used once.

He just lectures during class and doesn't let you take notes. He hardly gives out homework. One midterm and a final. The powerpoint are online but it doesn't really help.

He was a good teacher! Basically just show up and pay attention to the slides, you do not have to take notes. The midterm was multiple choice and I just goggled the terms, made flash cards and got an A. I did the same thing for the final. The written assignments are a piece of cake. Some lectures are boring but over all a very chill class.

This man is an embarrassment to the Chicano Studies department. His curriculum has not been updated to include contemporary material at all, I took him 3 times for 3 different classes, it was all the same intro n lecture. This class was so easy that I rarely showed up and still got an A. God forbid you email him, he never responds.

Class required me to work beyond the lecture, not spoon-feed.

Dont be fooled by the "no homework". There is no homework, but this class will without a doubt put you to sleep. His lectures require intense note taking and memorizing. Study guide is so out of order. Makes you buy multiple books but we never touched a single one. Dont bother wasting your money, I promise. Im not a lazy student. Good guy though.

Skip class? You won't pass.
