Spring 2022 - I had a fairly good experience with Professor Hualpa's course overall. Although I don't feel like the reading is necessary to understand the material, you will need to read and cite it for some of the written assignments. This class has no exams and is entirely based on several written assignments and projects, which weren't too difficult but did take some work. Most of the class is focused on the theories of education, and we do get a bit of hands-on experience with giving feedback to a UCLA ESL student. Attendance is graded but Prof. Hualpa was fairly accommodating with COVID concerns this quarter.

Spring 2019 - Overall a good course. She is willing to work with you on assignments and getting a good grade is very easy and fair because her rubrics are very clear. Attendance and weekly readings are required so be prepared to stay consistent with attendance and weekly reading reading responses. You should expect to teach English (through tutoring) so that is pretty fun and you learn how to improve your own teaching style. Here is the course breakdown: Reading responses: 20% Group/Class Participation (Attendance): 20% Demonstration Lesson (Group Project): 20% Tutoring Journal: 20% Professional Development Artifact: 20%
