Great professor. She actually cares about her students, and lets them learn at there own pace. She doesnt force the information so it is a very enjoyable class. The workload for the class is almost non-existant. She is very understanding. Overall anybody that can take a class for her should, because you will not regret it.

Winter 2023 - As a senior, I would say this is my favorite GE course at UCLA. Professor Passos is a super nice person, and he is very passionate about teaching. The readings and movies assigned are interesting. My TA, ícaro, is also super helpful and helped me a lot this quarter. A 10/10 course. Would take it again for sure.

Dr. Thomas was very professional, thorough, and informative. Her class was extremely interesting, and I learned a great deal about Brazilian culture from the excellent readings that she assigned and her good lectures. Definitely choose her for a class if you're interested in the subject material (or if you have to take it).

I also took this class as a GE and it was totally useless. There was no point in attending class because your whole grade was based on a term paper and summaries that you had to turn in at the end of the quarter. It took the professor until May 3 to turn in the grades for the Winter quarter. So you can see he wasn't exactly very quick about turning them in and he never actually gave anything back that was graded so you have no idea on how he is going to grade any of your stuff. Totally useless class, avoid if possible.
