Fall 2025 - Although this was a hard class, it could have been so much worse if Jose did not teach it. The exams accurately represented what you learned in class, but they definitely made you use your critical thinking skills. He has an end of quarter talent show where you can get extra credit points on the final. There are two midterms and your lowest one is dropped. The homeworks are based on completion and there is a final project where you have to interview a researcher at UCLA. The workload was very manageable, I would definitely recommend Jose if you can take him!

The professor is not as bad as everyone thinks. He's really nice, cares about his students...but his lectures are kinda boring. The exams were based mostly on concepts and the averages were around the 60s. I would recommend this professor becuase it's not that diffiult to get a good grade in his course.
