Fall 2017 - I've had the pleasure of taking this class for my last quarter at UCLA, and I cannot emphasize how much of a fantastic experience I had with this class. For one group presentations and debates are mandatory for you to receive credit for your discussion session. These projects are not super demanding, but you will be required to at least know some intermediate STATA commands to complete. The midterm and final were pretty much identical as the past exams she held. The TA's were the most helpful in the department, and the teacher genuinely cares about the class performance. Study slides religiously and redo the old exams a million times. I have the book for sale if interested email *************

Fall 2020 - As far as UCLA econ goes, this is a good class. Interesting content, good professor, not hard to get a good grade. I will say that it's fairly time intensive just because of the emphasis on weekly group projects. You should understand the powerpoint slides well for exams.

Fall 2024 - One of the most interesting classes I have taken at UCLA and anyone can get an A in the class. Just a heads up though, there is pretty much assignments every week that take a significant amount of time, especially the group projects, and these assignments are graded pretty strictly. The nice part is that you get feedback and you can resubmit as many times as you want up to a 100%. There is not final exam, just a final paper. This class is quite interesting and while lecture attendance isn't required, you can get extra credit from going to lecture. As long as you put in the time, you should get an A without too much stress.
