Fall 2022 - Prof. Bassett is an insanely engaging lecturer who cares about teaching. He is a fascinating guy who is deeply involved in his field of study. I never missed lectures because he had fantastic anecdotes to share, and the lecture was often informative. Go to class because the weekly quizzes are mainly based on what he says in the lecture (some questions are based on readings), and if you aren't there to listen, you might miss out on some minor things he said. I could not recommend this class enough. If you attend lectures and discussions, pay attention, and complete the work assigned on time (which is extremely manageable), you are virtually guaranteed to succeed.

Spring 2021 - Professor Basset is one of the nicest professors I have ever had if not the nicest. He is really passionate about what he does and is always willing to help and wants you to succeed. However, I thought this class was going to be more about the history of LA and urban green areas but it is more about gardening, which was not as interesting as I had hoped.
