Professor Maciver is amazing. His online class was very interesting and his lectures are to the point. He brings in guest speakers that add to the experience. I believe this was his first year lecturing at UCLA but I recommended him to the admin to bring him back. The readings are interesting and have a lot of images. His midterm and final are pretty tough but he is always willing to help. There is homework but its pretty much to solidify what you read. Overall I highly recommend him!
