Awful
I do not recommend take any courses with Professor Diaz! I took this class before I transferred to UCLA as a Sociology major. The midterm was online and open notes and it was still that difficult. I have taken all kinds of Sociology classes at UCLA and they did not even come close to the difficulty and ridiculous expectations of this class.

My goal is to continue to serve as a teacher, mentor, and researcher. I find it fulfilling to be able to communicate with others and enter discussions that allow us to exchange points of view to continue to grow. I am also passionate about research; I enjoy designing research methods for outcomes that allows us to understand social behaviors. I am currently researching about environmental issues linked to poverty. The article will be sent for review in a few weeks.
