Pam is fantastic!! I have never had a professor like her at UCLA!! She was a preschool teacher for 15 years and that has influenced her largely as a professor. She is caring, fun and wonderful overall!! Every student at UCLA should take this professor even if just for kicks. Although there are a lot of assignments, I'm happy to do them because they are interesting and fun. She trusts you with your grade and she wants to make sure that you succeed in her classes while learning stuff about education. I had heard that she was easy, but never did I imagine she would be this great! I'm a fan of Pam's!

Spring 2026 - I really liked this class, especially our final project. It was divided into two sections: an essay and a visual. We were able to choose our research topic, and for the visual, we made an interactive video on TikTok, with its dedicated audience being students, families, staff, and policymakers. I liked how we were able to be creative with our form of spreading our research, not only in an essay but in a community-engaged form. Overall, the class was easy, and the assignments were straightforward and easy.
