Fall 2023 - Really good TA and was his first time TA'ing a cluster. Explains the material very well, likes to hear from his students, and always asking about how he can improve the discussions and what we liked/disliked about them. Also keeps his email open to help you edit any of your essays if you email them well before the deadline. Would really recommend him as a TA.

Fall 2023 - Professor Lee was an interesting professor but her lectures were a little disorganized and her readings were a little longer. She is available after class to talk and if you just do the readings the lectures will make total sense and you should have no trouble with her.

Fall 2016 - Love this cluster, but man.... Professor Le Goff gives the most boring and pointless lectures... and then the material from her lectures that are on the midterms aren't even things she focused on during her lectures. It will be an obscure question like, when was abortion legal and then it'll give 5 weird answers none of which are straightforward. I really wish she was removed from this cluster, because I really love it except for her.

Fall 2023 - Professor Panofsky was the second best professor in this cluster. His lectures were engaging and all the material on the tests were logically and clearly explained in his lectures. I would recommend paying attention in class and taking detailed notes, and if you do this, his portion of the information should be an easy A on tests. His portion of assigned readings are also not very extensive, which is nice as well.

Fall 2021 - Strongly recommend the cluster with this prof. In my opinion, she was the clearest professor I've had so far at UCLA and a terrific lecturer in this cluster. As a non-bio (or STEM) major, I've been able to follow and understand all of Prof. Rensell's lectures to the T. They are clear, concise, and the learning objectives and structure of her lectures help people follow along and know exactly what knowledge we need to learn for the final exam. Terrific professor!
