Chris Ruiz-Velasco

A great professor! Most of his assigned readings were interesting and class was based on discussion and answering questions that he would hand out. Arrive to class on time because pop quizzes would begin right when class starts. Discussions were interesting and provides great clarification.

Chris is the best! We love Chris. He is so hilarious and inspirational. He is SUCH an interesting person. You can learn a lot from him, and not just from books. He is a philosophical thinker and has many wise perspectives to offer. His classes are structured very relaxed but you need to attend class for the quizzes. He is very kind and helpful.

I am not a morning person. Professor Velasco is the only professor who makes me want to get up early in the morning to come to class. He is absolutely hilarious and extremely knowledgable. He won't hesitate to go over things more than once if you don't understand and has a very witty sense of humor. 10/10 would take his class again.

Chris is amazing! The subject matter may not be the most interesting, but his passion makes you believe it is. He is the sweetest guy ever. Gives quizzes, but they are generally one question and SO easy. A lot to read, I got away with reading only a summary when I needed to. I'm going to miss him when I graduate!

I was honestly really surprised with how bad this class was. I had heard so many great things about CRV, but this semester it seemed like he did not care at all (and people from his other classes agreed). He let us out early all the time, gave study questions instead of lecturing, didn't tell us what would be on the exam, and never posted a grade.

DEFINITELY RECOMMEND ALL STUDENTS TO TAKE HIS CLASS!!! He is an outstanding professor who genuinely loves his career. I advise students to attend regularly because he gives surprise quizzes that can improve your grade as well as drop it. Read assigned pages and you will do well in his class. PS: His lectures are always interesting!

An extremely intelligent, and easy going professor!

My favorite professor at CSUF. So funny, ( I have never lol'd so much in class before) so knowledgable. Really enjoys open class discussion. My friends and I had a great time taking classes w/ Prof Velasco and he got to know us and talk w/ us outside of class. He's a really cool person.

BEST TEACHER EVER! Random quizzes, be there on time. The quizzes are based off the readings, but the simplest most obvious questions. Requires 2 papers, not very difficult. Very Helpful! Gives the "study guide" for the final...which is the final, and lets you use a page of notes. All you have to do is read, and you'll be fine!

This class was theory, which could have been boring, but it was awesome. Lots of laughs, lots of conversation. He hands out study questions that are discussed in a big group setting. His classes are about open dialogue amongst each other and interjects to clarify or probe thoughts deeper. He is the best English professor @ CSUF!
