Winter 2024 - Boring as hell and long, but you have to take it for the Ed major. Incredibly easy. I spent barely any time on the assignments and got 100% in the class. It's completion-based. Just turn something in and you're good. Dr. Dorio is nice, but honestly strikes me as not all that smart. He has trouble expressing eloquent thoughts and the class is pretty useless. He also says silly things like "you can cry in this class, share personal experiences, traumas" etc, which is just weird and like not what the class was actually about at all. But good GPA boost and he's nice so whatever. Disappointing how many education classes at UCLA are like fake classes graded on completion, but that's the way it is. So since you have to take this boring class to graduate, you might as well take it with Dr. Dorio because it is so extremely easy and he's nice.
