Professor Boss is one of the better professors I've had at UCLA...of course I am an Economics major and it's rare to come by a good professor. She goes over all the material that is in the midterm and tells you what she expects. She is a also a very good lecturer and keeps you awake in class. Her midterms for me were not difficult at all and her TA's were very helpful. I would gladly take her class again.

I have never met anyone who does not like Gonzalo Freixes and I probably never will. Simply put, he is a great teacher; one of the best I've ever had. His lectures and online notes are well organized. His exams are difficult, but fair. It is a shame we do not have more professors like him at UCLA. Take any class that he is teaching, regardless of your major.

The class material was interesting and useful. Prof Guerin's lectures were engaging, even over Zoom. The pace/workload is light, with live lectures and a short HW due every 2 weeks. Overall a great lecturer and solid class.

I'm going to be as objective as I can with this review given the circumstances surrounding this professor at the moment.

Klein gives engaging lectures with a lot of clear, relevant examples, which is pretty rare for an accounting professor. It's not like Gardner where she goes off on a tangent and doesn't always have a clear way of connecting it to the material. Klein clearly know what he's talking about and he's genuinely a good professor + the material is really interesting! Since everything was online this quarter, his videos were pre-recorded so thankfully we did not have to wake up at 8am or connect to Zoom. He released the entire video collection for the class in the first half of the quarter (and we never met), so that sort of helped figure out how behind or ahead we were in the course.

Cons: Our grade depended 100% on a "simple, short final". Those were his exact words. Obviously, I can't tell you what his intentions were, but that wasn't really helpful/accommodating, at least to me. I feel like that's a lot of pressure and one exam isn't going to accurately reflect our knowledge because some people might be having off days, others are just bad test takers, etc. The final was 29 MC questions and it wasn't terribly difficult, but honestly, 29 questions for 10 weeks worth of material?? And then, the graders sent out an email saying (this is just a paraphrase) that the solutions were created by some brilliant professor and not to dispute them as if they were incapable of making a mistake..

Overall, interesting material, it's something that will probably stick with me in the long run. Would I take this specific professor? I don't think I would..but if you do, don't even bother buying the textbook, the course reader has everything you need to know + some midterm/final sample questions!
