Fall 2023 - Its more of a free range class where she talks over picture slides not much information. Even Though sometimes her lectures are unorganized and jump from topic to topic her classes never fail to capture my attention. She is humorous and uses her experience as an adoloscent in the 60s to add a unique view on the history of intellectuals. This class consists of essays and a book review and an easy Autobiography of what you think life signifies and means. Take this class if you want to laugh and feel as if your tired of all you r other mundane professors.

I'll tell you what--this class is one of the most essential classes one should take at UCLA. Not only does this professor treat everyone with the utmost sincerity and kindness, he has a great sense of humor and is able to tell the historical landmarks of the British Empire in the form of a narrative story, which leaves you wanting to come back for more the next class period. I won't lie, I didn't go to every lecture or even study that hard but listening to what he had to say was I feel quite important to my overall cultural well-being and was reflected in my A+ in the class. Take this class y'all.
