David Torres

Professor Torres is very knowledgable and cares deeply about the course material. However, classes are very discussion-based, and when students do not participate, he tends to ramble. Additionally, every topic we covered was very surface level and I wish we delved deeper into the material. Overall a nice professor and an interesting subject matter, but a lackluster class.

The course material was quite depressing. I was really hoping in learning more about what can be done to combat these disparities, rather than just read about injustice after injustice. It just became emotionally draining for me. Also, I’m not a fan of the way Professor Torres lectures. Most of the time he would just talk about the assigned readings. I noticed a lot of people seemed to not be engaged as they are just on their laptops. I think I would prefer a more traditional form of lecturing for this class. Overall the class itself was not difficult, just a lot of depressing readings, and lecture felt unstructured.

this class is an easy A if you keep up with the reading and actually try on the assignments. There is a lot of reading, but the writing assignments that went along with the reading were very helpful in solidifying my understanding of the material.
