Spring 2025 - this class was genuinely one of the easiest classes I've taken at UCLA. i didn't find it super interesting, but the topics were cool to learn about. the class covered a lot of material, all from history to languages to culture. the midterm and final was super easy, and the prof is generous with extra credit. there is a final paper that is due for this class, which again is super chill and is graded by the TAs. attendance for lectures is not mandatory, and honestly wouldn't even recommend attending lol, all I did was sleep during lectures. just take notes on your own time and you should be fine. discussions are mandatory, but are decently chill. would 100% recommend taking this class.
