Winter 2016 - My only regret is that I didn't take him for another class in the Spring. His lectures sometimes are a little unorganized but interesting. You have to argue against him in order to fully appreciate his classes. You should also engage the readings before class and replicate it in his discussions. His lectures are very small. There aren't a lot of students and most of them are very quiet. Try working with him on some projects. His name carries a lot of weight in media, academia, and at UCLA in general. He's a very approachable man. He likes being on TV a lot.
