Comment:
TAKE THIS CLASS. Great alternative to regular RWS. All of the essays are narratives about your family and you. Show up to class because she keeps track. For most of the semester you don't go to class because of group meetings anyways. She's a little cooky sometimes but makes class interesting.

Great person. She's so sweet and loves what she does. Really cares about you and how well you do. Didn't even have to read the books required and still did well/

She is awesome. There are many small assignments, but the creativity allowed in this class is simply amazing. Assignments can be about anything the student wants; however, because there is a vast amount of freedom in the assignments, she is very critical on FORMAT.If you do something wrong, expect to get 10% of your assignment automatically. Easy B

Very interesting class. I thought it would be just reading the assigned book and then do a report about it, but Leilani had something else in mind when teaching the class. I enjoyed it. Would recommend.

She was such a great teacher! She really cares about the students and really makes you love writing. You write four essays and half of the semester you're not even required to go to class. I totally recommend this class! Take it!!!

Really nice and helpful. Spends the semester showing you the life of many chicanos/as and uses them as an example to show you the best way to live your life. Three essays and a bunch of writing assignments. All are easy enough though she can be a tough grader. Just get on her good side and you'll do fine.

Crazy lady! Different but way better than RWS. You'll need to buy the books unless you can share with someone who reads fast. After you read the book, there usually is a quiz or assignment. You will write a couple of papers but there are 3 main essays. She corrects the essays and then you meet in groups. She gives extra credit if you donate blood.

Take her! Waay better than RWS 100. 3 essays and the final you go over your grade. She has very interesting topics and you only meet when your group goes over essays. One of the best profs at SDSU.

Easiest teacher I've taken. Three essays on your family and couple of quizzes from movies and books. No final and skip many lecture days. Pretty fun class, especially when she goes of topic and we talk about everybody's feelings and concerns. Take her, it's way better than RWS100!

Horrible! She is so unorganized and goes off topic every 2 minutes. She says all her thoughts are connected but I seriously doubt it. Assigns essays but doesn't say what to write about. Also she assigns quizzes on reading she never assigned. She claims she values your opinion yet when you say something she quickly negates it. Seriously horrible...

Really nice lady that cares for her students. Not an easy grader and you better believe on her beliefs or else you are wrong. You have to work for your grade hard. Overall, i would recommend her.

This class is pretty easy. But she is CRAZY! She always talking about some weird stuff.She put a lot of her opinion into the class. And you better agree with her beliefs if not you'll just be on her bad side. She's a crazy liberal, feminist, and just plain crazy

If you like group therapy join this class. You don't really learn anything you just sit in a circle and talk about your feelings. The teacher says some crazy and ridiculous things as well. It is a bore.
