WORST CLASS I HAVE EVER TAKEN AT UCLA EVER. PERIOD. EVER. I received A's or A-'s in the other 3 LS classes. I am not a bad student. I received a C+ (the only C in my undergraduate career). in LS3. To be fair, I have heard that LS 3 is a difficult class in general, so I am not sure if it is completely Tamanoi's fault, but man, this class was hard. He'll lecture on a ton of information, and is not very good at explaining it. You have to memorize all of this information in detail. However, these facts and specifics not only had to be memorized, but they had to be applied to new situations on the tests as well. If there's any graphs/diagrams/graphics in general, memorize them to a t. It will be tested. I did alright on the midterm. The final was another story. The TA's wrote it and it was the hardest test I have ever taken ever. It was multiple choice, so that's saying a lot. I received a C+ in the class. I am a senior graduating in the spring, and my GPA is still suffering the consequences. I would recommend avoiding if possible.
