Winter 2024 - The most vile professor in this department. Save yourself the drama. Drop immediately as she will tarnish your GPA. This professor granted some absences due to my health issues, commitments to my 191 class, and the impact of closures. However, later on throughout the quarter, unbeknownst to me at the time, the UCLA health center made a significant error in my test results necessitating additional time off to address the situation. This professor initially understood the severity of my situation, but in the end, penalized me for having missed classes, all approved by her. I thought she was kind, supportive, and really there to back her students, but in the end, she graded me in bad faith. Didn't get a horrible grade, but I shouldn't have been penalized. Ended up filing a grade grievance and sought a civil rights/discrimination attorney to determine the appropriate course of action in addressing this matter. Best of luck, everyone.
