Comment:

Tests are harder, doesnt provide a study guide, does not post lectures for student review. Her tests are strict on timing and you are not allowed to go back to revise your answers before submitting. Her accent is hard to understand her lectures even for me and Im Hispanic. I would try another teacher.

SHE SUCKS! Do not take her. She does not care about her students and does not care if anything happens to you. Worst SOC professor ever.

Online due to COVID. Nice professor, difficult to learn from. She sounds like a robot and is very dry in her lectures which are straight from the textbook. Speaks non-stop and doesn't allow time for students to ask questions. Instructions to the essay and presentation are very confusing to understand. She uses every minute of class.

Professor Ojeda is a smart woman, but her lectures are very confusing. Most of the time the class has no idea what she's talking about. Prepare to do a lot of self teaching because at time her powerpoints are very vague. Make sure to read the chapters before class or you'll be very confused.

If youre looking to learn something, I recommend going elsewhere. This class was extremely difficult and it really was not supposed to be. Be sure to read the chapter before class. The exams were very difficult, and she only offers extra credit points occasionally after her extremely boring lectures. I wouldn't take her class again.

She's absolutely amazing, she really sweet. Honestly, if you pay attention in her class, read the chapters, do the extra credit quizzes.

Comment:

Her lectures are all straight from the book, but I found it helpful to attend class to ask questions and hear examples. Her lectures are very boring and took up the entire 2 hour and 40 minute class. Also, the exams are very difficult so go to each class and stay til the end for those EC points because they were the only reason I passed.

This class is an easy A as long as you keep up with the readings and complete the assignments. She isn't a tough grader. The subject matter is interesting and relevant to the border region, but the class materials are extremely dated. The professor speaks during the entire class and students aren't given the opportunity to engage with the material.

Although there are lecture-heavy moments, I enjoyed her class overall. The topics were interesting, and if you meet with her one-on-one you can tell she really does care for her students. I'd suggest more group activities and discussions, as well as more updated readings and videos, but I did learn what I wanted. Make sure to do your work. Easy A.

I thought this was going to be an interesting class, but her lectures were unbelievably boring. She lectures straight from the (very dry) text book, goes through her PowerPoint presentations too fast, and it's never very clear what to expect on the exams. I dreaded going to class. An hour and 15 minutes felt more like nine hours.

The topic itself can be interesting, but she showed too many research/news-type films from the 1980s. It got boring at times, but she was approachable and this class is definitely easy enough to get a B in with good efford. C for very minimal effort.

people swear like this class is so hard but its not. Does it require you to read a very boring textbook? yes. Are the lectures boring? yes. But if you read the book the night before and use her lectures as outlines you're golden. This class is pretty stress free. Barely put effort into it and have an A+. Very boring but easy A. Grades paper easy!

Comment:

She is very knowledgeable and opinionated which is fine. However, as an instructor she is awful. Mostly because she makes little or no attempt to explain what she expects you to know for the test and the book is dense and as boring as it could possibly be. Also makes no effort to know whether or not the class knows what to study weekly.Bad syllabus

"So pretty much....." Class isn't so bad take advantage of EC. I recommend reading the book before tests. Grading is weird she weights the tests differently I thought I got A's on at least 2 and ended up with B+'s. whatever. Goes through powerpoints too quickly couldnt write everything down fast enough and does not allow laptops!!! Easy enough

Very dry and boring class. She has an accent but not too bad. Lectures are straight from the book. She makes her personal and political opinions known and she shows favoritism to girls. Take her if you are a girl, a feminist or you like boring lectures. If that doesn't sound like you, find someone else - I got a B+ without trying until the end.

Easy class. You just have to flip through the chapters to read their summaries, before a test. However, it gets harder and harder to attend class on a regular basis as the semester goes on, b/c it's the most boring thing EVER. she has an accent, but it didn't bother me.. it's just plain boring.

Comment:

Nice and easy to deal with. The subject of the study can be boring if you don?t like sociology, big benefit of class are the extra credit points, approximately 50 of them. On the down side, you have to read the assigned chapters, all the questions on the exam are directly from them.
