Winter 2017 - This class is super fun and not at all difficult. It's 4 units and you meet once a week for 2 hours to discuss a current technology policy issue like autonomous vehicles or genetic engineering. Attendance is 10% of the grade but it's once a week so you should be fine. You have four policy memos due over the course of the quarter, assigned a week in advance of their due date and around 6-8 pages in length. There is a midterm and final, but all the memos are graded super easily, as long as you answer the question and come up with reasonable solutions. Probably the easiest upper-div A you can get at UCLA. Really enjoyed the class.
