Fall 2023 - The other comments are accurate and reflective of Professor Weaver's English 10A class. Professor Weaver is a passionate, enthusiastic, and caring professor—one of the most easygoing and personable professor I have had at UCLA. She is not at all confusing and welcomes student questions of all sorts. Definitely take her for 10A if you can. There are readings from the textbook each week and Professor Weaver discusses those readings in her lectures. The grade breakdowns are as follows: discussion boards (10%), discussion participation (20%), two short response papers (5% each), first close-reading paper (15%; 4 pages), second close-reading paper (20%; 4 pages), final curatorial assignment (25%; 5-7 pages). Professor Weaver made 10A fun and manageable for me, so don't hesitate if you have the chance to take her for your 10A requirement.
