I was severely disappointed by the structure of this course and the professor's attitude toward his students. It seemed as if he did not care about teaching. His lectures were extremely unclear, and it seemed like he was only talking at us not WITH us. He didn't respect our differing perspectives and belittled us. A lot of people were highly upset in that class, we all had negative experiences with this Professor both in-person and through email.

Easily the worst class I have taken at UCLA. If I could put a negative score for clarity I would. The work is easy with the entire class being two midterms. Each midterm is a three hour timed test where you have to answer 2 essay prompts that are released at the same time the test is opened. The professor knows what he wants but is terrible at conveying that. On the first day when asked how long each essay response was he told us he does not see pages he sees paragraphs, and then went on to show examples in which they were all three pages exactly in length. Every lecture is just him talking in circles for 30 minutes not making sense and right when you think he is about to make a point he moves on to the next subject. Worst professor I have ever had but if you want an easy grade and be confused after every class take this class.
