Winter 2020 - Professor Welty is so sweet and supportive! She actually tries to know everyone's name, and she gives almost everyone a PTE. I am not an AA major but this class was very manageable. The readings are very interesting and easy to skim through. Professor Welty's lectures are very engaging and interesting, and she is very helpful during office hours. She also lets her students decide which concepts to be on the finals. Professor Welty is one of the most approachable and sweet professor I ever had in UCLA. This class is also very interesting. Highly recommended!
