Fall 2024 - This class is entirely reliant on your group project. If you get a good group, this will be by far the easiest class you take at UCLA. If you get a bad group, you're going to really struggle. Interestingly, the lecture under Kurtz was almost entirely peripheral to success at the group project – it had no bearing to the graded content in the class and more seemed to be a survey for people's personal curiosity. If you're interested in getting some project-based work on your resume though, this is a good class to take because its pretty open-ended.
