Winter 2015 - While I did not get an A in this class, the quality of Mellor's course was so excellent that I would take her classes again without regarding grading (and grades usually depend of the TA anyways). Her lectures are very rich and dense, while extremely informative and insightful. So I recommend not to miss any of her classes. Her lecture style is mainly verbal with maybe some Powerpoint, but I was never bored for a second in any of her lectures. Readings are not unreasonably long - doable. Exams are straight from lecture material, in which he covers readings (so of course, you need to read). Requirements: a couple essays and a final (and weekly discussion posts depending on your TA). Mellor is a true scholar who can change the way you view literature if you let her. So if Early Romantics is a time period you are interested in especially, I would highly recommend her class.

Fall 2018 - I've seen other reviews of Professor Sanchez that comment on the fact that this class is not an easy A, and that students have to work hard instead of skate by. This was not my issue with Professor Sanchez, as English classes are generally writing heavy and definitely reading heavy. My problem with his teach method was that despite quizzes every class, a presentation, and a final essay, I did not receive a single grade from him, and only received some feedback on my rough draft of my final essay. The only grade I received for any of my work was the final grade reported to my transcript. This was the first class I took at UCLA and it honestly set a really bad tone for my experience, especially as I was a transfer student who had experienced professors who took their time to throughly look over, grade, and give feedback for all work that was turned in. On top of this, he was frequently late (even though he was strict about students being on time) and was not very willing to listen of interpretations of a text that did not mirror his own. I came into UCLA very interested in British Romanticism, and I am leaving turned off of the subject entirely because of Professor Sanchez.
