One of the best professors at UCLA, period. His lectures are very informative, and he keeps you entertained by telling some of his own personal stories from the time period. Attendance is not mandatory, but you do need to attend class and take lecture notes to be successful. Tests are straightforward and simple. He really teaches you alot and cares about the subject, and is one teacher that will make you appreciate your UCLA experience.

Fall 2022 - YES, TAKE THIS CLASS! Professor McBride is by far one of the BEST professors at UCLA, so you should feel fully confident in taking any of his classes. He is a very understanding professor, and is genuinely trying to make sure that everyone does well, he is not out to get you at all. His lectures are great, he posts the lectures slides (super informative) and does a great job covering the material thoroughly & reviewing for the midterm. In-person midterm, take-home paper final, couple other assignments mixed in throughout the quarter but very manageable. Would 100% recommend.

(Courses taken: GE CLST 21B) Effectiveness: Better than his lecture counterpart, Professor Porter. However, this could be because the subjects he lectures on tend to be more interesting. Difficulty: Not that difficult. Concern/Availability: Like most GE cluster professors, he makes himself very available outside of class. Overall: Good professor.
