Dr. Rojas is great. She's compassionate and very knowledgable. She expects alot but it's worth it. I learned so much I never knew or thought about.

very interesting, and intelligent, I had her over summer for three and a half hour classes and enjoyed our class, even though it was long the time went by fast and wasnt boring.

shes a good teacher, you must show up to class and participate in discussions. if you go to class and read prior, you will do just fine, A or B. i dont think shes hard at all, because she explains issues well and you will remember. i dont no if it makes a difference but i had her for winter sessio

Really good professor. Interesting class discussions, as well as material for class.

One of the best teachers....She really enjoys teaching. She is very nice, and loves to listen to what people think. Assignments are easy, extra credit is offered and test are all written.Make sure to participate, counts as 10% of grade.

LOTS of reading. Must participate in class. There are Beachboard assignments. It's a very interesting class and she's a good teacher. But if you want an A, you have to work for it. There's lots of opportunity for extra credit.

She's one of the best professors at The Beach, by far. She is also a very fair grader. Just do your work.

Dr. Rojas is one of the best professors I have had so far, she really knows her stuff. All the reading, the two papers, the beachboard assignments were relevant and interesting and her lectures were phenomenal. A must take professor!

She is the best in this department. She is understanding and will take the time to talk to you about any issues. She will get you prepared for graduate school and life in the real world.

One of the best professors I've had. She really knows what she's talking about and gets everyone involved in class discussions. Class topics are interesting and relevant to issues in today's society. Her teaching style is great because the information really sticks. Highly recommended!

i've read some really good books in her class this semester but i feel like she gives us way too many papers and that they're all reptitive. i also don't like how she calls people out in class, she can come across as very ****y. she knows her stuff, but i don't think i'd take another class with her.

she is a good prof. her expectations from are reasonable. i learned a lot of useful material. the midterm and final are writing.

Like the other reviews on her, she is difficult and does expect a lot from her students. Don't expect to sleepwalk through her class and do well, actually do the work, read the materials, and learn from the discussions. One of my top classes at CSULB.

Clear and intelligent young lively lady, the class material was intense and real, and she is engaging, and very fun. Her teaching style was wonderful and she has a presence that is fascinating. I'de take it again in a heartbeat ;)

Okay class. You read a lot. I didn't read the last book at all and still got an A. I skimmed over the readings for class. I didn't say mcuh, but made up for it my papers. Just write you papers like the class discussions and you're fine. Midterm was easy, just do the study guide. Final was super easy and so was the film presenation.

I took her in Summer '07. This class changed my perspective many issues still faced today. I LOVED THIS CLASS & still think about what I've learned. She was an awesome teacher; material was very real and intriguing. Take her for a great capstone, you'll learn a lot. Not hard at all, just a lot of memorization.

Professor Rojas is an amazing teacher. This was one of the best classes I've taken so far. She really knows how to engage the class in the material and really knows her stuff. I took this for summer and we had two papers about 3-5 pages and a couple tests. She grades fairly and because the topics are really interesting, its not that bad.

Be prepared to be overwhealmed with reading! their good readings just A LOT of them! Gives pop quizes, beachboard assignments, midterm, final, and a paper as well. Full packed class!! Good Luck!!!

GREAT! take her...she is amazing! You do alot of reading, but makes your time worthwhile, her discussions are so interesting! one of the best professors ive taken:)University 100..over summer attendance is mandatory

You will work, but you will also enjoy this hard working professional. She is inspiring and incorporates tons of interactive projects.

Dr. Rojas is a good prof. She picks interesting materials and is big on discussion. If you don't like attending class don't take her, she will bust your chops. I felt bullied one day when I didn't read the right material and she embarrassed me. However, she has a passion for teaching and is interested in the opinions of her students. I recommend.

Rojas is very encouraging and doesn't condemn her students' opinions when they don't concede with her own. From my observations, she merely expresses frustration when they fail to elaborate on their responses or are so off base you wonder if they've even been listening in the first place. My advice to you critics is that you think before you speak.

She is a good professor. I have to be honest though because at first I thought she was a professor who was always critical and hard on her students, but today I finally realized that she really is a nice lady who really loves and encourages her students. I give her an A for that but still she could liven up the class by adding more class activities

She is a great professor. She cares a lot about her students and welcomes all insights. She is generous in grading because just trying your best is already thev road to success in her class. I did not like taking notes all period though but the films she showed us made up for that and also some of those beautiful passages she made us read.

She is what an academic professor should be! Challenges her students to be critical and provocative both intellectually and in paper. She is precise and effective in her teaching methodology. For some, she may seem intimidating, in reality, she's extremely helpful, warm and cares tremendously about her students progress and success! Recommended!!!

can keep a discussion going which is nice. shy or disinterested people might not like her teaching style. so much reading and essays...ugh. but very friendly and really looks out after you.

Dr. Rojas is probably one of the nicest professors I have ever had. She truly believes in her students and pushes them to be critically aware instead of just relying on generalizations. Her classes are not necessarily easy "A"s , but are more concerned with providing an overall learning experience. Discussion is an important part of the class.

Dr. Rojas is a fabulous professor. She has a passion for education and has full faith in her students. She encourages critical thinking and discussion in class. Therefore you must attend class, otherwise you feel left out because a lot of issues are discussed. The topics are always interesting so there never was a boring day for me in that class

This class was easy. Attendance counts for your grade. You could get an A in this class without going to class and just reading the book because class is mostly discussion. I didn't feel like she really taught me anything I got 100% and 95% on the tests because I did the study guides.

One of the best professors on campus! I've enjoyed the class discussions in her class. She encourages her students to use what they've learned in other disciplines and apply it to whatever subject one is studying without unconsciously projecting a particular bias to the subject. Take her courses! She is beyond awesome and extremely helpful!

Definitely not an easy class to walk in. A lot of lecturing and note taking. Not something I would retake ever; it is only for some people. Test are not easy unless you study. I am a hard working student and I would stress about her quizzes. She's a tough teacher and genuinely nice. Will pick on you to answer questions and loves class participation

Dr. Rojas is a very friendly and nice professor. You write three essays which require a lot of critical thinking, but that is what the class is all about really. There are 2 quizzes with a final that requires A LOT of studying. She makes the class really interesting and you definitely learn a lot. The class was not so easy but I enjoyed it.

I encourage others to take this class, her guidance is priceless! Esp if u are trying to decide what to do w/your WGSS degree.Helpful & inspiring, a totally underrated professor! Goes the extra mile for her students. Although it seems like a lot of work, the assignments are easy, just stay on top of them. No tests, more about personal reflection.

I appreciated her honesty. She comes off a little bossy, but she is just organized. She is an overachiever who seems to expect the same from everyone, so this is a little intimidating. Other than that, 496 was an easy class. You have to perform 40 hrs. service outside of class, lots of readings and journals but nothing excessive. ok class.

Professor Rojas is hard but fair and you will definitely learn and get something out of her classes. It is clear that she loves what she does. She is always organized, engaging and interesting. You will not do well if you aren't prepared to give the same back to her, but such a fresh air to have a teacher who cares and wants to teach.

She's a great professor! If you are lazy then you shouldn't take her class. She seriously cares that her students learn from her class. I have to say she taught me the most in a class I didn't realize would teach me so much. I HIGHLY recommend.

Make sure you go to every class and do at least one extra credit. Other than that, enjoy it. This was one of the most eye-opening courses I have ever taken. She really makes the material come alive.

While there's a lot of information, this class helped to further structure my view of feminism and I learned so much. She encourages a lot of class discussion, so don't be afraid to speak up, but it can get a bit intense at times!

There is a lot of reading for this class, so prepare yourself in advance to cover it all. She also gives reading check tests to ensure you're reading the assigned material. They are good readings, but they just take time. There are no actual tests besides the reading tests. The papers are intense and cannot be done last minute. Loved this class.

Pros: Lectures are engaging; you'll learn a lot about Chicanx history. She gives helpful feedback to essays. Nice, respectful. Cons: Must attend class everyday to not miss any potential quizzes, it does affect your grade. Don't be fooled by her sweet smile and cute outfits, she's a tough grader, but for a good reason. Read and take notes routinely.

I LOVED this class. Amazing professor, you'll definitely learn something new every lecture. Participation and attendance matters! The more you participate in class, the more you'll understand the content. Every minute counts in that class and Prof. Rojas will lecture till the very last minute given all the content.

Honestly, Rojas is a very passionate professor and clearly cares about the material that she is teaching. However, there is a lot of work for a GE so be prepared to devote time to this class despite the work not being very difficult. Overall pretty solid professor as she is very nice and did talk about some interesting subjects.

I call her Maythee because I've built a relationship with her since finishing my bachelor's in 2021. I'm a first-year teacher with a master's-credential. She's very kind—do the readings and ask for clarity, she'll guide you. The class has four different professors, each with their own style.
