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.

This is NOT an easy GE. If you want a guaranteed A, don't take this class. BUT, you do learn a lot, and you will do well but only if you put in the work for it. I asked questions, went to TA office hours, was engaged, kept up, etc, and that's why I got an A. You cannot slack and expect to do well here.

But it's definitely a very interesting class. Bonesho is very nice and approachable-- good professor. Pretty hard class. A LOT of essay writing too. Final exam is 4 take home essays.. a lot a lot of writing.
