Fall 2024 - This class is my favorite class I have ever taken at UCLA. Overall, not too hard and very manageable as well as the TA's were so helpful. Professor Bonesho is amazing, she knows her stuff and is an engaging lecturer. I was able to learn so much about the Jewish people, history, and religion after entering the class with barely anything. Now I can answer the question "What is Judaism?" This is such a a fun GE or even just a class you can take for fun. The exams need some preparation but as long as you focus and study you should be fine. I hope you enjoy this class as much as I did.
