Winter 2018 - You have to do the readings for this class because before each lecture you turn in a one page reading response but you only have to read enough to answer the prompt. They're very easy and he gives you an automatic 100% if you turn it in and answer the prompt. There are no exams just a midterm paper and final paper. The midterm paper draws directly from reading and lecture so it's important to keep up with the readings and go to lecture. DO NOT USE OUTSIDE SOURCES. They will take points off of your paper if you do this. I wasn't very interested in the subject but professor Hirano was really passionate about the subject and it ended up becoming one of the most interesting subjects I've taken at UCLA. Honestly it was a great class. 10/10 recommend. Also selling some of the books necessary for this class and my notes (I went to every lecture and got an A) text me at **********.

His lectures were straight forward and to take good notes of it is all that needed to ace the tests. its only a matter of complete regurgitation. I didnt do well in the class cuz I fell asleep sometimes and skipped a couple of lectures, but if u follow thru every lecture with great care and read the books then u will ace it for sure
