Winter 2024 - This class is a relatively easy and interesting class but the professor is very difficult! Professor Barreto doesn’t use Canvas, post slides, or record lectures, and is overall not cooperative. He demands participation in class but is rude to the students who participate which didn’t make me want to raise my hand! He interrupts students and often picks apart what they say in a really harsh way. He is not understanding at all, so this class is great if everything goes smoothly for you but I imagine it would be a completely different experience if you needed any help or support. The content he presents is extremely interesting and engaging and I really enjoyed the class, just not him as a professor. Also TA Emily was the best TA I’ve had at UCLA! She is kind and makes an effort to help the students succeed and is very knowledgeable! Her sections were super engaging and I would highly recommend her. This class went well for me but I would be careful because you really have to attend almost every lecture and hope things go smoothly or you're in trouble.
