TO ALL THE STUDENTS SAYING "The other reviews are so harsh...they must not have put in the work... they must not have gone to class." Literally STFU. Im sick of you entitled UCLA students that think you know everyone. This class was AWFUL. Did I get an A?? Yes but at an expense. I did worse in my other classes, I lost a lot of sleep from studying, and I missed shifts at work so I can attend "mandatory" unlisted TA sessions. This class was hard and I shouldn't have to break my back to get barely an A. You people need to stop being so entitled and thinking everyone is just giving a bad review because they are lazy and did not put work in. We all worked out ass off its just a hard fucking class so stop pretending like you are better than everyone else. Theres a reason why he has a lot of bad reviews, like shut up.

A very dense class with A LOT of material. Even though it is asynchronous, don't expect to breeze through the class. The tests cover a lot of material, most of which is from the textbook. The final is in-person, so take that as you will.

This was the most difficult class I have taken at UCLA so far. I thought it would be fairly easy since it is GEOG 1, but there is a huge amount of work, and the tests are difficult. There were textbook pages, a lab due, and quizzes weekly. I found this was the class I spent the most time on out of the three taken that quarter, despite it being a GE. The final was very difficult, I spent days straight studying. Even though I had done all the work, read all the assigned textbook pages, and gone to every lab, I still ended up with a B- on the final (the class average was MUCH worse). I love geography, but this class was my least favorite out of the 5 I've taken!

Do NOT take this class as a GE. The workload is ridiculous and the professor can't keep track of everything. He misspeaks a lot in his recorded lectures, and must not review them because the mistakes get confusing. Without my TA I would not have survived. If you take this class, really pay attention to the quizzes and use them to study. This was a GE and the hardest class I've taken at UCLA so far.

This class is NOT easy. I'm going straight to the point. The professor's asynchronous lectures don't help very much. The textbook is helpful for the quizzes. T.A is very helpful as well, But, this as your G.E requirement, I would NOT consider it, for the reason being that the midterm and final have different questions and different understandings from what you learn in the asynchronous lectures and the textbook that don't meet the standard of these questions on the midterm and final. Please, take a different G.E., don't consider, it unless you want to challenge yourself or try to major in a specific field that requires this class.

This is not an easy GE. Tests are very difficult and have extremely niche/random questions. Most of the questions are exactly like the chapter reading quizzes(some are the same exact questions). Wouldnt recommend to someone not actually interested in the subject.
