Nice guy and pretty good professor. Assignments were 4-short essays, weekly online quizzes, 2 exams and a final project. He cancelled the final because he didn't cover all the material again. Attendance is not technically mandatory, but he will assign completion "pop activities" as an incentive to come. Everything was graded fairly, class was easy to keep up with, and he said himself that you should have no problem getting an A if you keep up with the work.

Professor Marroquin was one of the most incredible professors I have ever got the pleasure of having. He did his best to engage the class even when nobody was feeling it that day and was completely understanding about conflictions. He provides a vast majority of resources to aid the short responses he gives and the prompts are usually very straight forward and easy. The final project is a poster and it is a group project so it is not challenging. All the quizzes are online and we only had 2 cumulative exams which included some of the quiz answers as well as possible some questions that the class makes up. He usually responds to emails quicker than some. He posts the slides but I would still suggest to put in some effort and take notes because it is easier to remember the material if you have it in one place and don't have to remember the name of the presentation. He is a very fair grader as I have written a short response 9 pages longer than what he wanted and still received a high grade. He extended some deadlines or the class if we were stressed about not finishing the assignment as well. Overall, this class paired with Professor Marroquin was easily one of my favorite classes this semester as he makes jokes all the time, acts like a friend, and takes some of the pressure off of a college course. If you can please, please, PLEASE take a class with Professor Marroquin.

Byron is funny. He wants the class engaged even though sometimes it's dead silent. He asked if we wanted to have a final and accepted the no when we said so. Very laid back, easy-going, and cares. Short essay assignments are tedious but easy at the end of the day. I thought I ate the first exam but ate shit instead. Study up! At the end of the day it is an easy class and you should do fine if you try.

One of the nicest professors and very understanding. He was very interactive with the class and acted as a friend. The course itself was also easy, he graded fairly and allowed extensions if the class needed them. Not a lot of workload, just some short responses, and a small final project. He also does provide a lot of resources and is always willing to help. He responds to emails usually within a day or two. You do have to put in some effort, but overall a very easy, fun, and interesting class and a great professor.

Amazing person and professor. The class consisted of 4 short-essay assignments and a final poster project(essentially the same thing but in a ppt slide), and 3 exams. Everything was graded fairly and the short-essay assignments' due dates were extended multiple times.

The sweetest and most caring professor ever, if you can please take a class with him. He grades fairly and the TA was really nice too. There was not many assignments but he would extend deadlines for us when needed and is very understanding. He even makes funny jokes sometimes. Easy class and the nicest professor.
