Spring 2021 - One of the best professors at UCLA! He cares for all his students and gives so many accommodations. He is so understanding and is always there for his students. The way he teaches is just amazing and very clear. I love him so much and **********000000% recommend everyone to take his class.

Spring 2022 - Grade is based on 3 take home quizzes, midterm which was a 5 page essay outline, and the final which was a 7-10 page essay, and attending discussion section. The lectures were not very engaging, in my opinion, but they were recorded so that was nice. A lot of people in the class felt her grading was quite rigorous, which I agree with, so just be aware of that.

Fall 2018 - Dr. V was one of the most genuine profs I have ever had. She really cares about her students. She realized that books were expensive and so after the first day of class she put all the readings online so we didn't have to buy anything for the class. Her lectures were engaging and she was so helpful with teaching us how to write well. She even had grad students come in and talk to us about grad school. They also gave us their contact info and told us they would help in any way they could. I have never met a prof so genuinely dedicated to her students. She's amazing and so were her TAs. If you get the chance definitely take a class with her she's the best!
