Fall 2023 - Took this class during my first quarter as an IDS major, but 100% recommend to anyone as a GE!!!! I was skeptical of the 8am time, but I genuinely wanted to go to Professor Appel's lectures. It feels like I was listening to a TED Talk, so engaging!! The midterm was an in person exam, but you were allowed a cheat sheet. The final was just a project, so super easy!

Fall 2021 - Professor Appel is by far the most amazing professor I have ever had. I took her IDS 1 class last quarter and learned so much, definitely use her office hours and ask questions. She's very clear and really politically active. I have nothing but good things to say about her! The midterm was an in class written essay (4 question I believe) and the final was a group project. She's AMAZINGG....it was like watching a TEDTalk every lecture

Spring 2024 - If you want to be indoctrinated with racist opinions and left-wing propaganda, I recommend you take this course. From day 1, professor Appel enforces her own opinions on the entire class, cold calls people, and if you do not agree with her opinions, you are publicly shamed in front of a 150 person lecture hall. She is full of BS, and does not back up her "statements of fact" with any substantial evidence. I must say, this class is very easy to get an A in if you can yap on a paper. Taking this class makes me wish I could have any minor that is not global studies. It is a last ditch effort by UCLA to indoctrinate. The readings are "mandatory" but you honestly just skim them for the papers and be ok. There is no midterm and final, just 3 papers for the entire course. I have not shown up to class once since week 3, (I simply could not take any more opinions from the professor) and have an A in the class. It is an easy A, but at what cost to your education and sanity?
