Trojan is goated at UCLA. He's one of the most funny and engaging lecturers I have ever had. He manages to cover topics in an interesting and clever way that makes you think differently than you might have before. This class was a really interesting deep dive into some of our founding documents that your previous American government classes probably didn't cover. The class itself was graded on Perusall annotations and two "Interventions," which are basically like mini essays. Definitely take this class if you want an easy A with a light workload, but also want to learn something and engage with the subject matter.

The worst professor at UCLA. He wants to get tenure and keep complaining about it in class. He actively participates in every RALLY AND BOYCOTT against anything UCLA. He cancelled classes just so he can attend those RALLIES!!!. Worst, he does not have good knowledge of what he is teaching. NO RECORDINGS OF HIS LECTURES, NO REFERENCES TO GO BACK TO FOR EXAMS...and worst HE COMPILED AND COPY ALL READINGS and sold it to students for $100.00 of essays by WEB DUBOIS etc that are available for FREE at the library. For a class of more than 100 students that is easy $10,000 TAX FREE for poverty-stricken students. And he will ask you (he asked me!!!) if you don't have a copy of his academic COMPILATION!!!!...He said he got permission to COPY AND SELL those copy righted works. He loves those students you followed him after class (I took his class twice and he never had a TA nor discussion section). Those students who join him in rallies GOT GREAT GRADES and if a student has a different point of view about those RADICAL AND VIOLENT RALLIES...HE WILL SUFFER IN GRADES. Pls investigate Cody Trojan.

This class was fun. There was a lot of group participation within the lecture. We went over readings and discussed ideas that we may not have completely understood. He really liked to listen to our ideas and take on cases. I liked to learn about important cases that set precedents. The class consisted of readings and annotations you complete online through a textbook before every class. Then you talked about that in class. The final was a 14 page paper. It was tough to get started and pick a topic or frame a thesis for me personally. But he set office hours for everyone where he helped me get an understanding of what I should be writing. I ended with an A. I would definitely recommend office hours if you want to get a good grade on the final. That's basically what your grade is composed from.

DR. Trojan is the sweetest lecturer in the department. Some of the students may have problems with his intervention assignments, but go to his office hours, and he will help you write your argument. He is really funny and a character for sure, so his lecturers are engaging. The class workload is kinda dense, but overall, it's not that bad.

Avoid this professor!! Moves too fast, doesn't post slides, doesn't record lecture, and explains things to you as if you are a law or graduate student. I only took this class because it was the last open class in the political science department. AVOID THIS PROFESSOR!!!!!!!!!

Easiest A+ in the department!

Well-balanced course overall and I got by without completing all of the readings. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend Trojan’s courses, the negatives reviews you see are completely false. The material is completely digestible to understand and Trojan is very approachable!

One of my favorite classes at UCLA with the kindest professor. It simply takes some effort on your part to do well and he provides the resources you need to succeed. Don’t listen to the negative reviews on here, I seriously don’t know why people do that. This is my fourth time taking Trojan and he’s a genuine professor who made this course worth taking.

Trojan does a poor job of really detailing what he wants from you. If you can't spend time following him out of class to talk and going to office hours, it will probably be tough.
