I took her class back in 2010. She is very nice and good looking. She demands that we pay attention to her lectures but that's good because that's where the exam comes from. Gives good reviews for exams.

I took her class the Spring of 2012. She is sweet and soft spoken but demanded that we read the books. She really knows her stuff. She gave reviews for exams and we did two power point presentations, and a paper. Her class was not harder than most college classes. I recommend her.

I absolutely loved her! EASY CLASS! Attendance is not mandatory BUT, the power points only include the topic and she will describe it verbally & that is what will be on the test. MAJOR extra credit points! Her tests are a piece of cake! I would recommend her! :)

I learned a lot about Mexican American culture. She explains the assignments clearly in class, but some students only came occasionally and then got mad at Natalie because she wouldn't post description of the assignments online. Writing intensive. I signed up to be in the classroom 3 hours a week and that's how much time we spent in the classroom.

I just fell in love with this class. Lots of reading and lots of writing. She made me work so hard, but it was all worth it. I became obsessed with mexican american studies.

I loved her! Lots of writing, lots of reading. She is quiet, soft-spoken, and sweet, and she looks like J-Lo. She really knows Mexican American culture. If you don't like Mexican culture, stay away from this class. But if you care about it, then she is the professor for you.

This is really a lecture and book based class. If you come to class, take good notes, and read, you will do fine. She explains writing projects really well in class but she takes too long to respond to e-mails. I loved her!!! Too bad she doesn't teach other classes at HCC, I would take any class she offers!!!

Yes, she expects us to be in class every time. She doesn't like students who are always late or leave early. Make sure she knows you. Read a lot, do not fall behind on writing projects. She is really helpful if she thinks you are a serious student. And it's true, she doesn't like lazy or disruptive students.

I guess this is college. The class is not that hard; I tried to keep up with the readings and took notes in class and I did okay in exams. She has a beautiful smile. I sat in the front, that helped me avoid distractions. Paper was average; exams were kind of easy. She spoke a lot about women's history int his class.

I took her for HUMA at Southeast. We had to read 2 books, we had to write 2 short papers, and we had to present 2 power points in class. She's really good but she speaks too low. I had to sit at the front to listen to her. She really knows her stuff. I heard she's teaching History at Southwest. I'm going to take my Histories with her.

She really knows her stuff. Yes her class can be kind of boring at times, but were not in high school anymore. Actually her class was kind of easy. Make sure you come to class and take good notes, keep up with readings, and do your work on time. I personally think she is great. I wish she taught night classes so I could take more classes with her.

Good teacher, you really don't need to take notes, her review had all you needed to know on the test, as long as you don't fall asleep and put forth a little effort you should be good

SHE IS AWESOME!!!:)))) she really knows what she is teaching!i didn't like history but now i do! i'm taking her again for HIST 1302!her exams are not hard, you just need to study and take good notes. she uses powerpoints, and she tells you what you need to know. she is very helpful and kind!

Class was super easy but you have to study for the tests. Her tests are not multiple choice but she gives you a review that is EXACTLY like the test so if you study you will be fine. You have to do 2 papers, if you answer all the questions required for the paper you'll get a A for sure. You don't need a textbook! Ill be taking her again for hist 2

I usually can't pay attention in boring history lectures, but Garza encourages you to participate, making it easier. grading is very clear, three test and two papers. You will have to put work into studying for the test, but she gives you a review sheet with the exact answers, so as long as you put time into studying there's no reason to fail!

Her class is so easy! For the tests you have to write a long paragraph on key terms and then a essay, but she gives a review exactly like the test. JUST STUDY!!! start working on the review as soon as you get it, it can be time consuming. Explains historical events really well. Don't skip class, you will miss a lot of info.

If you're lazy and dont want to study then dont take her class. Her class is really easy if you just study and do the essays right. You will get a easy A all you have to do is study. I would take her again for sure. This class really helped my GPA. You dont need a book. Attendance isnt mandatory but you will miss a lot of info

Great class! I learned a lot from her. Be prepared to study hard. She'll give extra credit if you participate in class. Test have specific criteria that you need to know. Tests are essay form with additional definition questions.

She's a great teacher. How it works she likes to teach you, but she likes in return , you to read and participate in class so it can be more interactive.

RECORD HER LECTURES! ITS GOING TO HELP SO MUCH FOR THE TESTS

She is sweet and softspoken. You really have to come to class and take good notes. No multiple choice esmas; you have to write essays and short answers. She really knows her stuff and she cares a lot about us.

I took her for 1301 & 1302 she is great! Take very good notes during lecture! It will help you for the tests. The tests are short response but, she gives you a review sheet. STUDY the review. The review has 30 terms and 3 essay questions. She then chooses for the test 10 terms (you choose 5 to answer) and 2 essay q. (you choose 1 to answer).

best professor. She explains the requirements clearly and her reviews are really helpfully.

So easy to pick up the stuff you need from her lectures. The tests are hand written, but they are easy. You pick your own questions. One project that wasn't hard at all was ALL of the homework the whole semester. Cool class, cool teacher.

Dr. Garza marvelous. She really has a way of lecturing that connects and is straightforward in getting the material that matters into your brain. She structures her tests in a way that challenges you to think critically about the history you are learning about. She is open to your interpretations in your own words, she is awesome. Take this class!

She expects you to be an adult and handle your business accordingly, she lays out everything on day one so hypothetcally you could do all of the assignments at the begenning of the semester and refine them as it progresses. She gives great lectures so it makes it easy to listen to her and shes hot, so you retain the info because your focused.

Professor Garza has an interesting and educational manner of teaching Mexican American History II. The lectures are very informative and the historical content of Mexican American's history is incredible. Also, participation is encouraged among the students in class to give their opinions in a respectful manner. Great group project assigned.

Took her for Mexican-American history and enjoyed the class overall. All quizzes/tests are based on her lectures and NOT her slides. I suggest you take note of everything she says or you'll probably fail the tests. Every test required a short essay (except 2 which were book analysis). She's not a tough grader and her lectures were interesting.

It's imperative to listen and take notes on her lectures. Whatever's on the powerpoints won't cut it. Her tests are open-ended questions with no multiple choice so get ready to write. She isn't very harsh on grading and the class is pretty easy if you pay attention and do well on the few assignments she takes grades for.

Easy class. Her exams are all written, but if you research the words and ask her to explain the essay questions from the review sheet and just study that you are good to go. The papers are fine and she gives a lot of extra credit opportunity. Even tho she's a clear liberal and her classes are based on that point of view, she is a good professor.

Shes a great lecturer. It pretty easy, listen to the lectures, read the assigned reading and you will do well. If you slack off your grade is your own. I would definitely take another of her courses.

Dr. Garza is great. You can tell she cares about her students. YOu write a lot but that is to be expected. Even though the class was online, I felt like she knew me as a student. Not sure why people say anything bad about her, unless they just thought they were still in high school and this would be a blow off and not college.

I only got a C, but that's because I didn't prepare. Thought I could just guess or google my way through, but you can't. Once I just did the work assigned, I brought up my grade. She was understanding and I want to take another class with her, probably Mexican American history.

Good professor, her lectures aren't boring. She gives out minimal work but a lot of essays or analyses.

Her class is very easy, the only thing is paying attention to her lecture is critical for the history analysis assignments she gives out.

I LOVED Dr. Garza's class. Don't listen to the reviews saying doesn't care about students and their issues--- she gave us two days grace WITHOUT PENALTY on every assignment except the final project. She always responded to emails. If you didn't do well in her class, its because you didn't make an effort and you're mad she didn't hand you an A.

Ms. Garza was amazing and everything you want in an online instructor. Pay attention to the video lectures and take good notes and you will easily pass this class. The assignments are fairly easy and the discussions do make you put thought into the course. Other professors should take notes on how to teach their online course from her.

Although I got a low grade in her class it honestly does not reflect at all in her person. Ms Garza was great and she truely does want the best for her students. Im assuming most of these horrible reviews of her were from her online lecture because even when I was failing her class for a bit she checked up on me and asked if I need help. Would take

There's a lot of reading, but it's college, what do you expect? I love her class discussions, the way she sets it up is really good, making students talk to each other and then share what we said to the rest of the class, wish more teachers did this because in my other classes barely anyone talks. She's also very caring. Best teacher I've ever had.
