Amazing class, super chill professor and easy A!!!!! I loved this class, everything is at your own pace since all assignments are due at the end of the quarter and you get to choose which assignments you want to do. The TAs graded so fairly, I got an A on every assignment!! Just take this class, you won't regret it. There's really cool topics you get to learn and some interesting documentaries we get to watch

Like all her classes, they follow the same structure. Everything is due at the end of the quarter, and it's up to you what assignments you want to do for the grade you want. It's based on a point-system, so if you want an A, you need to get 90 points or higher, so that means doing a couple of short essays, like 2 book reviews, film reactions, and lecture/section attendance.

and its so easy and so chill. My TA Natasha was so sweet and her sections were really fun and engaging! and she's a really fair grader. I literally got a 100 on every assignment. Prof Ribet is also so nice and her voice is so soothing, she needs to do asmr lol

But take this class with Prof Ribet, she's super cool and her classes are always so relaxed and fun

AMAZING CLASS, SUPER FUN, REALLY INTERESTING and the professor is so nice and chil!! as well as the TA's. I've already taken 3 classes with Prof Ribet because her class set up is amazing.

she follows the same structure for all her classes. everything is due at the end of the quarter, and you pick and choose which assignments you want to do for the grade you want. so if you want an A, you need to score 90 points or higher, meaning doing a couple of short essays, book reviews and film reactions.

everything is up to you and ur pace. I ended up doing almost all the assignments because I'm an overachiever, but you could literally do 6 assignments, and then show up to class/section (which also counts as points) and get an A. like you don't even have to attend anything, it's all up to you, but if you do, you can get points.

and the assignments are really fun because the readings and films are so interesting and you learn SO much in this class. Not only is it an easy A, but you'll also really enjoy taking this class so please take it!!!!

This professor led one of the BEST structured online classes I have ever taken. All of her assignments were due at the end of the quarter and it was up to you to chose what grade you wanted by accumulating the minimum amount of assignment points that would be assigned to each grade. Only downside was you had to attend lectures through zoom but she kept them light, showed movies, and was very passionate and understanding regarding the circumstances of being a college student. She just wanted to teach her subject and did a great job at it.

This class was easy, interesting, and had a very light workload. Professor Ribet is super nice, approachable, and open to answering student questions. Lectures were on Zoom only and also recorded and posted on BruinLearn. Attendance was not required, but you could earn 10 points just by going to all of the lectures. There are no tests in this class, and it is all essay-based. There are also no deadlines throughout the quarter except for 11:59 on Friday of Finals week. There are many assignment options, and you can pick and choose which assignments you want to do (you do not have to do every single assignment in this class even to get an A+). Some examples of assignments were short essays on the readings, book reviews, a policy analysis (of any disability rights law in the US), and short reactions to films. Essays typically needed to be a minimum of 800 words. The class averages seemed very high, and most people got a 100% on every assignment. You can also get up to 8 bonus points for submitting assignments earlier on in the quarter. Personally, to get an A+ in the class (which was a minimum of 105 points), I had to do 5 short essays, 1 book review, 1 policy analysis, 5 short film reactions (200 words each), and attend every class to get the 10 attendance points. Overall, this class was super easy and fun, and it's a great class to take if you're pre-law, interested in disability rights, and/or just need an easy A class.

I really enjoyed taking this class. Professor Ribet is very kind and talks slowly so everyone can understand her. She loves asking for student's opinions and we often go on a tangent because of it. The course consists of a midterm, final, book review and discussion groups. The midterm and final are a collection of essays. She gives you four prompts and you pick three to write about. She has a 48 hour no penalty for late work policy. In this class we read court cases and pieces of legislature. The professor lecture goes at a slow pace. She does a really good job at teaching you how to brief court cases. There are no textbooks required for this class as all the reading are posted online. She also offers opportunities for extra credit. I definitely recommend taking her class!

I absolutely hated this professor, however, the content of the class was quite interesting. She had a horrible way of organizing lectures and the content in the class. She always went on a tangent and never spoke about the material we were supposed to go over. Her instructions on the midterm and final were very vague and when you asked her anything she would refer you back to the handout which did not answer the questions. Overall she was a lazy professor and although I got an A in the class, I felt like I wasted a quarter on this class. Its an easy A if you're looking for that but I prefer to get to know my professors, have intellectual conversations and learn something if I'm paying as much as I am for attending UCLA. Waste of time. the worst professor ever.

Professor Ribet is a very engaging lecturer with a soothing voice! The class is 3 hours long once a week. She is very passionate and knowledgeable about mental disability law. The class grade consists of 2 take-home exams (one midterm, one final), participation in class, a book review, and a policy paper. The exam questions are very fair and broad. The weekly readings are always posted on CCLE (so no need to buy a textbook), and they're normally either a court case or an article. The material is very applicable to disability studies, law, etc. and covers a wide range of intersectional topics (reproductive autonomy, gender, class, race, etc.). I highly recommend this course and this professor!
