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!
