1 word, BORING. Does this guy have a pulse? I'm taking this guy now and I dread going to class because I fear the torture of his monotone voice and lack of any personality whatsoever. I agree with a lot stated above - obviously,the "boring" aspect like i just got through saying, the fact that he is pretty rude when he answers questions, and his tests have the a&b, b&d bs all over. He seems to like picking on this one guy, who seems like a wuss but a genuinely nice guy, because he always answers his questions more rudely than normal e.g. (slight chuckle) "Like I said twice already blah blah blah". I mean Christ sorry if we're not experts on praying mantis courtship rituals and bat echolocation like you are, but just answer the question without the pretentiousness. Anyway, I managed to pull of an A- on the midterm, and that's because there is one accurate positive thing about him in these reviews - his lecture outlines are money. Anyone who tells you otherwise is apparently too stupid to pull of a good grade by meticulously studying his notes. Look, if you know his notes well, you should at least get a B. Have a Beautiful Day, and if you have to take Roverud, it'll seem like you're Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of, but Elevation of your study skills will allow you to Walk On with a good grade, and you'll be flying high like a Kite. If you're completely clueless by this previous line, you must be a hermit.

Winter 2024 - Trott is honestly my favorite professor at UCLA. He is very knowledgeable on the material and very concerned with student understanding. You can tell he is really passionate about the material he teaches and that passion is infectious. His lectures were always engaging and he was always happy to answer questions, both in lecture and office hours. The readings could be a little long but they were worth it in my opinion.
