Fall 2023 - Professor Farzanegan is the best professor I had at my time at UCLA. I cannot highly recommend a professor more. She is extremely kind and caring to her students, which is extremely evident. She is an absolute angel and amazing professor who is really passionate about what she teaches. The course itself is not difficult it is more based around understanding and applying that understanding towards the group project which is centered around equity. She is knowledgeable and overall amazing!!

Winter 2021 - TAKE THIS CLASS!! Professor was super accommodating during COVID and allowed for a 72-hour grace period to turn in assignments late with NO penalty (and this also applied to the midterm!) I learned so much and the workload was light. Weekly reflections, 1 take-home midterm (we had 1 week to complete it - the average was about 95%), and an 'action plan' project that you work with in a group in your discussion sections. Super great course and he really aims to teach students and allows us to work with the material. Highly recommend!

Summer 2025 - Class is overall pretty easy if you just pay attention to what she is saying in lecture. Though she has readings, the actual information you need to know for her midterm (in terms of topics referenced only in books) is all mentioned in lecture for you to know. The midterm is a bit long, took me around 1.5 hours to finish, it is all short answer with 6 questions and multiple parts. A lot of this class is based on having an opinion and backing it up with reason from the text. There is a final project at the end. As long as you answer all the questions she lays out in the instructions you will easily get an A. I did not really do much of the readings, I just made sure to pay attention in lecture (not recorded) and take noted. I know some people who just had an AI tool transcribe the lecture and summarize it for them, this also works but you miss the aspects of actual critically thinking.
