Martha Lopez Garza is a teacher of Women Studies teaching, "Just Methods", and Chicana Studies, and frankly is the worst teacher next to BrenyMendoza who is worse than Garza. At least when I was there she taught this class and it was awful, frankly, I didn't understand a fucken thing and received a C. This bitch has a Dr. Jeykell and Mr. Hyde complex with an average rating from students which is what the bitch gave to me in her class. Now so you understand this class is not like a class you would attend in high school. At least in high school the teacher sometimes provides information on the subject and what to expect, not this bitch she says nothing but yet she expects everyone to understand her "lack of structure" when teaching a course with little information provided. Regardless of the evasive description and syllabus provided, it leaves little information on what to expect. The mid-term is the basis of your grade, so when I asked to speak with her about the work and to know how I was doing in the class she refused.
I won't forget her nasty behavior of shoving unwanted books in my hands. And then later bothered me by helping her friend around the campus because she is too fucken lazy to do it herself. Garza was always putting something on me to be a total bitch because she enjoys aggravating those who have no respect for her as I did. I remember once she had each student meet with her. I approached the office and I saw her facing the door and the clock was on that wall which she could see. I sat outside waiting for over 20 minutes because she didn't have the sense to tell the other student time was up, she allowed her to keep talking and blamed me for not mentioning I was outside waiting. She could see me and acted stupid. It's not for me to tell you Garza you can see the clock and you called this meeting I didn't.
Another time this situation with Garza's friend in administration I can't recall
her name but I should have reported that bitch. She was supposed to be helping
the students with something in the class but instead, she decided to close her
door and not help the students because she was having personal problems which
I found out. That bitch had no business being at work collecting a check and
not doing her fucken job, another lazy white bitch, your personal problems are your own go
home then! So Garza later sent me an email talking shit but you know I think I'm
going to send her a copy of this blog post and let her know what I really
think of her:-) Garza, you can take that shit book of
"Just Methods"
and shove it up your ass, you cunt! Unfortunately, this is a required class one of the few that are given once a year, so if you choose this program just know its a "HAVE TO" class and take it right away.
This is how she teaches "Just Methods", It's a three-inch book filled with stories and the student has to pull out the "methodology" the observer used while studying different groups of people. Yet the stories have different characters and events. This shit book is not worth the paper it's printed on and the campus oh they love fucking the students out of money for useless books. So what Garza does is she has us sit in a big circle so she can see everybody at a certain angle, throws on the projector, and quickly flips the notes for us to write them down. I was pissed with her method and no one took a shorthand class and most of the time you were lucky to get 50% of the notes written down. It was a fucked up way to provide information and no one in the class understood what to do with the notes. Then she told us to pick three out of all the questions we had written down and provide a summary for each one. Most of the students struggled to get the full question written down because she was flipping the notes so fast and finally I told her to slow down. The same method was used for the final. Garza is a cunt she was no teacher! I learned nothing from this class but I can say I do understand the concept of methods now. This class had one mid-term and one final and few assignments so whatever you got on the mid-term that was your grade. She couldn't care less if you understood the class or the contents of it. I had a few words with her at one point I said, I have no idea what you're talking about and you have no structure to this class. She didn't like it but it was true. Well, like they say the truth hurts, but she asked the class to raise their hands if they felt the same way and everyone raised their hand. This shit institution is not only extremely racist but they will fuck you out of as much money as possible and if you don't graduate on the expected date the school charges you money. Education in America is the biggest Fraud next to the IRS. Frankly, I didn't need this education I could learn on my own without the expense, but it was personal to me and mattered. I just never enjoyed it. it was a negative experience.
Women's Studies is not worth investing in as a Bachelor's Degree maybe elective or a minor but it's too broad and you can't get employment from it, something the lazy advisors never speak to students about. However, I had a few enjoyable teachers but most of them sucked and so did the experience at Cal State Northridge.
