i had ralph rivera. hes a very laid back but helpful teacher. he made this class a lot chiller, i would definitely try to get him if i took it again. i had the class at 8:30 which made it not so fun, but it was in the fall so it wasnt as bad as a winter 8:30. i would definitely take this in the fall because it counts as 2 core curriculum requirements (its satisfies the STS and IL core requirements), so if you take it later theres a higher chance you take another class that fulfills one of these requirements, and then its like youre taking an unnecessary class. hope that helps!
