Awful
Lectures are difficult to follow and unorganized. Textbooks are required, however they do not help in understanding of the course material. Grades come from midterm, final, and 12-page paper. He's a harsh grader who doesn't provide much feedback. The grades for the three separate assignments were never made posted. Wouldn't recommend this class at all.
Awful
Prof. Armando's lectures in class were such a mess. He was a tough grader and most of the examinations were true/false or essays. Wouldn't recommend taking his class!
Awful
Doctor Alonzo's class is one you don't want to take. His classes aren't necessarily difficult. However, he's very unorganized and his lectures are of him speaking alone in the whole period. There are no PowerPoints, nor readings, just straight talking. Also, he will only grade the midterm, finals, and a research project. He's a very intelligent man and knows what he does, but his lecture style is terrible.
Awful
Professor Alonzo is terrible. He's very confusing, inconsistent, and unorganized. He won't respond to emails even after sending them several times. His grades only consist of a midterm, a research project, and a final. He did not provide criteria for essays, or for the project. Also, he will not discuss your grades or change them. Honestly, he's a tough grader. I suggest do not take his class unless you want to fail.
Average
Professor Alonzo is boring and not technological at all. The only textbook that is really needed is Major Problems in TX History. Quizzes come from it. Also, studying for tests, those are not difficult. However, you need to know the information well. I suggest don't miss the lesson because he will curve the grades based on your attendance.

In addition to my teaching experience, I have conducted numerous research projects, some sponsored by the National Park Service and others by foundations and individuals. My expertise in history of the Southwest allows me to assist in other kinds of research, such as museums and in court cases involving land tenure issues. I conduct research in small archives, courthouses, major university libraries across the country, the U.S. National Archives, and in the national archives of Spain and Mexico. I am also interested in public humanities projects and social studies education.
