Very good teachers and nice person. Knows what she's talking about. Learn alot about lit and writing. Easy grader. No exams. Only wrote 2 papers in the class. Highly recommended.

This professor really deserves a hot "chile". Esta rica...Oh by the way, the class is fine.

She is a hottie, but snobbish. Class was very easy. Each class was a discussion, and two papers due. No tests, no midterm, or final.

She is a very good professor. She is too nice to the students, lucky for them. The class is kinda easy, but a lot of reading, which you must do if you wanna do good in the class.

This is definitely one of the best classes I've ever taken. She may not assign too many papers, but makes sure those papers are thought out and well written. Her class isn't all lecture like most classes, but instead designs it in a constructive way where

she is not that dab, she does give you alot of HW though but hey you are in college, just do the work, if you don't then you'll receive a bad grade like in anyother class...read the books and take notes, it will help you, she just wants to engage you in the class.

She was almost 10 min late every class period.But she had NO tests, quizzes, midterms or final.Big 10pg essay and short 4 pg essay and weekly summerys. I would take her again in a heart beat. Because she is easy and you learn about latin american history

No tests, no quizes, no final, but there are weekly summaries (they only have to be one page). She's really unorganized. Throughout the semester you don't know what summaries are due, but it doesn't matter b/c she accepts late work. There are 2 reports. 1 is 10pgs long and the other 4pgs. You have to try really hard to fail this class.

There is a lot of reading...two papers...weekly commentaries that aint that bad...go to office hours...turn in all the work and its an easy class if you follow everything she says. She is very nice, but can be unorganized. She really likes what she does though.

SHE IS A REALLY NICE TEACHER. THE GOOD THING ABOUT THE CLASS IS THERE IS NO MIDTERM OR FINAL JUST 2 PAPERS (WHICH SHE GRADES REALLY HARD). SHE MADE US SIT IN A CIRCLE AND TALK ABOUT THE READINGS THE WHOLE SEMESTER.SHE TAKES ATTENDANCE AND IT CAN COUNT AGAINST YOU! NEVER CANCELS CLASS.

Need to attend class. Long paper. Need to participate in class discussion. Cares about students.

A lot of reading. Prof. was overall nice and understanding. Attendance and weekly hw is a must. Easy class.

Attendance is a must! Class partipation is also a must! Lots of reading, but if you just do the reading, come to class and give your input, you'll do just fine. Effective professor! I learned a great deal in her class.

THis profesor was really great!!! i learned so much from this class! the readings are really interesting!!! she gives no test, quizes midterms or finals....just a 1 ten page paper and a 5 at teh end of the class. she is the best and she really cares n knows her stuff!!!!! GREAT PROF!!!!

Nice professor whom is eager to help out students with any questions. 10 page paper and 5 page paper are the only assignments graded. Heavy amount of reading, must participate in class, attendance is a must! All in all, a pretty good class.

She is very funny!!! If you do the reading, participate, attend class daily, and do the essays you will be fine! Don't be lazy...

Maria Elena is a wonderful professor. She has an interesting approach to lecturing the class by having us sit in a circle. She does give a somewhat hefty amount of homework, a 10 page research paper, & group presentation, but you'll learn a lot. Very nice and always willing to help you out. Take her when you get the opportunity. ^_^

I Love Cha Cha. Shes Funny, cool and very Smart. She can be a little weird and jump off topic. But overall i love this class. Take Her!!! The only thing that sucks is the 10 page paper...

Fun class. Although a lot of reading, the topics were interesting. Must participate in class as your grade depends on it. The conversatiosn in class were fun and made the time really fly by. The professor genuinely enjoyed what she was teaching & you could tell. She really inspired me to look into the topics in more detail. Fun class, good teacher.

Well everyone is really accurate and its funny how her 245 class descriptions were pretty much like our 445 class! Lots of reading, 10pg paper, weekly summeries, a presentation, and outside events. I felt I was struggling to keep up but I got a B+. Do your best and you'll do well.

No textbooks, just readers. A lot of reading, but interesting topics. You'll do well if you read and participate in class. She is a little unorganized but she knows her stuff and teaches with enthusiasm. I took this course not thinking I would enjoy it, but it turns out to be one of my favorite classes so far.

Great Prof, she didn't make us get books, we had to print a lot of the readings. Very interesting material. The course is very helpful personally. Great prof you should take it. Just be there and do the work and you'll be fine.

She is an amazing professor, very clear and helpful. I recomend her to everyone.

Her class is an easy A, just do her reflection papers and participate as much as you can. Don?t have to buy books, most of reading is online or on library reserve. There are NO TEST AT ALL!! All you need to do is do her 10pg. paper which is super easy (she provides a detailed guide line of what she wants). Attendance is not necessarily mandatory; h

Fairly easy. No test. Just a 10page paper about your family history. You watch a lot of documentaries. Get on her good side and everything will be great.

she is an extremely nice lady. shes very understanding as well. kind of unorganized and you hardly ever get your papers back. but no tests and no textbook. she gives readings and then you discuss them in class. just participate and you should be fine. and the 10 page paper isnt too bad. you do a bit at a time.

Great Professor. She is very understanding. The class discussions are fun. Easy class too.

She is an amazing professor. No tests no final and no book. Just do the online readings and participate in class and you should be fine. 10 page final paper but you do it piece by piece. I definitely recommend her.

A nice, laidback lady. It's more like a high school class than a college class because of the student composition. Reasonable reading and writing assignments plus one family history paper. A very enjoyable experience.

This class is so boring! I hated it! You just read passages, and the next day in class you discuss them. The passages are long, and boring. Plus you have to do a famiy history paper, a group presentation, and attend 3 events outside of class. Easy class though.

she is an easy A she gives you thousands of online readings that you do online and answer questions for. i only did 6 of them and got a b+ she only cares about the final paper/presentation do good on that and make sure she knows you and ur good..no final no text book required.. enroll on time because the class will be packed on the first day

She's the best professor I have hasd at CSUN. Very knowledgeable, sharp, and committed. I learned so much from her. I recommend this class without question.

This class is boring but very easy. Class time is pretty useless since she just discusses the answers to the homework. Readings are boring. If you want an easy A and don't mind being bored or reading long chapters online, then take this class.

The class is easy. No book only online reading, usually one every week sometimes two, class time is mostly just discussion on them. Also have to go to 3 events do a family history report and group presentation. It can be interesting at times. Oh and she never replies to emails!!!

Great teacher! There's no book but all the assignments are online. Seemed like a killer at first but you get used to it and you go over it in class. In class that's pretty much all you do. She has a talent of making you feel comfortable in the class which helps you learn! No tests AT ALL just a paper & weekly assignments. SHES AWESOME!

This professor was very chill. I thought it would be difficult but it wasn't. There is no tests or quizzes. there is a lot of writing of your own opinion online. There is no book so you don't have to waste money. You do have to attend to class she takes roll. If you participate and do all your assignments you should be good.

one of the best teachers you could ever take! her class is super easy it's ridiculous if you dont pass. no tests, no text book. only online readings to discuss in class. & an 8 pg. paper that she helps you with throughout the semester. easy A!

She is a great professor...just make sure you attend all the classes and do all the reading for weekly short summaries and review in class. There is just one big assignment at the end of the semester which is a 10pg paper. She helps you a lot with it though. RECOMMEND!

Very humble and outgoing person. Attend her class and do the readings she assigns. Class is based on readings and discussions. If you dont mind talking, then youll get an A. 10 pg paper due at the end of semester, but shell work with you through the whole semester. easy class. Recommend taking her,

If you want an awesome teacher take prof. Fernandez. All you have to do is go to class, do the assigned reading (which are a few pages long) and attend event which are actually interesting. Theirs one final assignment which is a report on your family, but no final exam. Oh and participate in class, she appreciates it. Definitely recommend!

She is a great person. Sometimes she can be unclear with what she is looking for. But ask questions. She appreciates it if you don't understand. Just show up and do the readings. Make sure you write a guy reaction to everything!

Very easy. No book needed. Class is mostly on readings she posts online. Interesting material. Family paper that she makes you do step by step so at the end you have everything and just put it together. Group presentation. And attend a few events. VERY EASY and interesting.

Great Professor! Very easy, you just need to complete noodle posts and attend class. You'll learn alot and the final is a paper which you do throughout the semester. Highly recommend her:)

I loved her as my professor. She is very knowledgeable about her work and can help as well. There is a lot of readings to do but she gives you a week. Also she explains everything throughly. People who comment bad about her are just lazy about the work. There is also a 10 page paper and a group project and mandatory events.

she is a great prof. awesome personality and passionate about what she teaches. a lot of reading but gives a week to do it. 3 short essays, attend 3 events and a group project. take her!

This course focuses primarily on the Chicano Movement. Prof Fernandez also invites special guests to class throughout the semester. The class consists of reading assignments, 10 page research paper, and a group project based on the research. Overall, the class is okay. There is no need to take notes since class lectures are based on discussions.

Prof. Fernandez is very nice & sweet, her class is super easy. Assigns readings with questions you have to answer on moodle & they are due on the days you meet. Class consists of discussing the readings she assigns. Really wants you to participate, she'll call on you if you never raise your hand. 10-15 pg paper no tests. Bit disorganized in class.

Very sweet and genuine woman. Very passionate and understands what students need in order to succeed in her class. Would make corny jokes once and a while and very easy to talk to. As long as you do the assignments on Moodle, you will get at least a B+.

I would not take her for any course again.

So I saw all the ratings and expected to have an easy A class, yet it wasn't. Yea, no exams, no final. However, be prepared to read 13 to 18 pages, have a summary on Moodle before every class, and to do a 10 pages essay! So If your major requires to focus on major classes, like mine, then this class is not for you. This class is TIME CONSUMING.

This class is very very time consuming. She expects wY too much out of a 200 level course!!!!! Assignments each week, research paper, must attend 3 events and write a summary off each one, attendance is mandatory and pointless lectures. Assignments each week consist of 20-30 mins of reading and atleast 500 word assignments.

Prof. Fernandez is a little messy, but a very good teacher. You will actually learn a lot from this class and gain culture, but get ready to read and write gut reactions to the readings and do a paper that she will guide you through with a presentation. Put in the effort and follow instructions and you will get an A. Would take again!

Loved this class. Other complain about there being too much reading/assignments, but it's a history class. Participation is necessary, because she does not lecture. If you do the reading you will do just fine. There is an assignment due before each class, but easy just to show that you did the reading. Take her if you actually interested.

She is seriously so funny. Makes the class super enjoyable and also isn't afraid to call people out. Very politically correct and will make sure her students know that. Overall super fun and interesting, you will learn a LOT. A bit unorganized from time to time but the assignments are easy so it's not detrimental. You will watch a lot of movies!!

Professor Fernandez is one of the best professors I've had. Her lectures are very interesting. There is weekly homework, but it's really easy. There is also a paper, but it is done by section, so it doesn't feel like a lot. I would recommend taking her for any class. She's amazing!

She provides a platform where students can express themselves relating any political issue or topic of discussion. While the readings were a bit long, I enjoyed engaging in every discussion. Make sure to participate! I took this class as an elective and I can't express how much I learned. I definitely recommend this class

I absolutely love this professor. She genuinely cares for her students. She talks about things outside of class that may affect you like stress, current events etc. Her final project is interesting. She's not a tough grader but you will have to show her that you are actually putting in effort. Love her!

One of the nicest professors on campus! Weekly HW is usual amount, research paper & power point presentation, & participation. Caring teacher who discusses current events a lot & the well being of her students come first. Participate in class and you'll be fine, she does take attendance. Overall I learned a lot in her class and would do it again.

Fernandez is a really caring professor. She really cares about her students and if you have a problem with submitting an assignment shell totally hear you out. Its a hybrid class but she gave a lot of homework. Its a lot of reading but its pretty interesting. The only complaint I have is how many assignments she had every week due

In her class you are given lots of homework, but it is very easy to do, as long as you are okay with that you should take this class. You have class discussions but honestly if you give input once in a while you should be fine, but if no one in class is participating she does choose on students. Overall very easy class, and I recommend!

Wonderful Professor. So passionate about teaching and very respected. This class made me grow as a person and a student. One of the most caring and devoted instructors I have ever met. Listen and you will learn lots. Plenty of assignments but they're not usually lengthy. Best of luck :) you won't regret.

She gives maybe 3-4 assignments a week, will give you a lot of time to finish stuff with not penalty, and is very caring. Her essays and group work are a little confusing, but manageable when you go to office hours. Everything complained about her is false, since everything was on the syllabus. This professor is extremely lenient and considerate.

Lots of reading with questions to answer for each. Occasional in-class and canvas post discussions. One big research paper done in chunks over the course of the semester. She is an amazing professor, really cares for the health and wellness of her students and accepting of her student's circumstances, especially amid the pandemic. I learned a lot.

I loved her. Her CH S 245 class was very clear for her guidelines. She does not really like exams, she wants to make sure her students understand and learn the material. I loved her optimism each morning she walked in. A lot of reading and weekly homework, but as long as you complete homework and few assignments you'll be fine. She is understanding

Lots of reading/writing/papers, but the information I learned in class was valuable. I learned so much about North/Central/South American history as well as the islands. She also covered much about Black history and Civil Rights (I enjoyed that as a Black student). It's hard to keep up with the work, but the lectures are easy to follow.

just made an account to check my prof. for next semester, But writing this 1 for prof. fernandez to share with you, how she'a very lenient, respectable, understanding, & passionate professor. She really cares about the content and the students in it. That is if YOU GO TO HER and put the EFFORT in. utilize office hours. Not hard at all. real talk.

Very flexible and very mindful of the times you work and commuting, she's works a schedule with assignments so you're given enough to do them. Her responses are quite silly, sometimes it just like a "ok" "yea" and just blank stares you which i found silly lol. overall good.

Not sure why Prof. Fernandez has low ratings. There is a heavy amount of coursework, but she is not strict on deadlines. If you need an additional day or days, she is more than understanding. Assignments are a quick reading or video with easy questions. I registered for a different course with her for next semester. She's great.

Not a bad teacher, but I wouldn't take her again. She's lenient and does potlucks(the food is so good if the class participates) group projects, but the homework load is heavy. If you participate and don't procrastinate, you'll be fine. She's caring, so reach out if you need help. I just wouldn't take her again due to the heavy workload.
