Fall 2024 - I was so blessed to experience this class my first quarter at UCLA. It really started me off with a bang. The lectures were engaging and packed with history and great examples and opened my eyes to so many social ideas and issues I’ve never heard before. The discussions were great too, I learned a lot from the peers around me and it made me less nervous to share my ideas because the environment was very supportive. The service was a great opportunity that made me realize I want to continue serving my community even when I’m done with the class. I have great memories from the service and with peers I did my service with. I will advise that the service hours were a bit of a commitment and could interfere with other responsibilities if you don’t time manage adequately. I served at an organization where I advised students on homework and writing workshops, which I enjoyed writing reflections about. There were also papers we had to submit regarding social change and sociological imagination, which were engaging topics and not too demanding of a workload. Great TA’s and professor, highly recommend!

Winter 2024 - Loved this seminar and professor. There was a ton of reading each week- oftentimes dense- but we always discussed the readings in detail in the following class. No exams, a few papers, a group presentation and service learning. The service learning consisted of teaming up in a group and partnering with an outside organization to work on a project, such as forming an art exhibit or creating an event for the LGBTQ community. Lots of self reflection, so be prepared to share and listen to others. This class was intimidating at first because of it’s small size and sitting in a circle, but Dr. Marquez was very passionate about the subjects and made it feel more comfortable. I got a lot of this class and would recommend it.

Fall 2023 - I loved this class and the professor was awesome, easy A class where you learn a lot of meaningful material on the obstacles that people of color and other underrepresented communities (women, lgbtq) have had to go through. No midterm, no final, just a few papers to write but he gives creative freedom with these which make them easier and funner to do. He is the sweetest and I recommend taking him if you are on the fence.
