Good
Professor Rivera has very specific exams, but as long as you take good notes you should be fine. He will make you write easy reflections papers based on readings each week and as long as you do them you get credit. He does not let people use cellphones or laptops. I recommend participating as much as possible. Study your notes well, there are a couple of tricky questions, but definitely able to get an A.
