Workload is somewhat a lot but manageable… she’s super nice and will accommodate. Super helpful with all assignments and responsive via email. Has a group project so sit next to people enrolled in the class not waitlist students.
Directions on her assignments could be better but overall, enjoyed her class. Would take again!

Grade: A

There's no actual real content for this class...you pretty much end up learning things about how to make a website and convert urls. So if you actually want a history course with content this won't be it for you. She doesn't really lecture. Workload is manageable but it's based on a group project the entire quarter so if you don't like group work that is pretty much the entire class. Super easy A though.

I took this course based on all the good ratings. I found this class super interesting and interactive. There are many tedious assignments, however, they are all easy and graded off completion. There is no midterm, and the final is a group project with a small presentation. There is a lot of group work so pick a good group at the beginning of the course.
Professor Zelany is so kind and understanding and wants all of her students to get As in her class. As long as you do your work and attend class, you are almost guaranteed an A. I would recommend taking her at some point during your time at UCLA!!

I took this class with Professor Zeleny to fulfill my 187 requirements in the summer and it was wonderful. The class was centered around typewriters throughout history with small assignments throughout that were very easy and manageable. The final is an interactive group project and short presentation. Overall, Zeleny is great and I would highly recommend to any history major looking to fulfill this requirement.

Professor Zeleny was fantastic all the way through. This class is comprised of small and easy assignments due each week and there is a group project at the end that is more than manageable. She is genuinely one of the friendliest and most helpful professors I've ever had!

Learned a lot in this class. Small bite-sized assignments and readings that feel easy but add up to a lot of useful knowledge. She teaches a few really interesting subjects. Really accessible and kind, super helpful in office hours.
Clear and generous grading, not a huge time investment to do well.

Considering this was the only course I was taking over the summer, it was very manageable and didn't consume a large part of my time. The assignments were organized and included in-depth instructions on how to complete the assignment and her expectations from us. Dr. Zeleny is also a very kind professor and she puts in the effort to make sure we're engaged. Highly recommend taking a class with her!

Professor Zeleny is great! She is super nice and her class is enjoyable. It does require some reading and group work, but it was nothing super time-consuming and I say it was fair for a 4.0 unit course. You basically have a group project and she assigns a topic and she gives you time to work on it throughout the quarter. She is also really helpful if you're struggling with your group research! I really liked this class and I would recommend it!
