Most Helpful Review
Summer 2024 - I found MED-185 as an undergraduate non-STEM major through looking on the class schedule via MyUcla. I had interest in alternative medicine practices and how East-West ideology can be applied to design. I enjoyed how the course was taught and all the guest lecturers. I found that it was also helpful for life-long knowledge of healthy practices in terms of longevity. Some information about course: The course is two hours/week for live zoom discussions but there is 3-hours' required recorded lectures and readings to complete before the zoom sessions. You will learn things from acupressure, to healthy life choices to maintain body homeostasis.
