Do not be scared of the readings!! You don't really need to do them, maybe skim them and know the general idea. Everything else will be gone over in lecture and the mandatory discussion. The exams are very direct, and they provide midterm and final study guides (terms/key concepts to know). The material is actually really interesting, however, they don't post slides so make sure you have a friend to get the lecture slides from if you miss. There is one 7 page essay, but it is easy because you are making a mock trial testimony thing so you can talk like a regular person. Highly recommend this class as an easy and interesting GE!!

Beware of the amount of reading required for this class. The exams are alright as long as you did the study guide and understood all the terms. Overall, this was a pretty generic GE. I am also selling the printed book of Island of Dr. Moreau for 5 dollars. Feel free to message me at **********.

This was my favorite class I have taken so far at UCLA. Professor Lynch-Alfaro is an AMAZING professor who genuinely cares about both the subject and her students. There are a few reading assignments each week, but I found them really interesting. Along with that, there are short weekly assignments for the discussion section. There are also a few 5 question reading quizzes throughout the course and if you do the reading and pay attention in lecture, you can definitely get a 100% on all of them, which is nice because they count for 20% of the final grade. The rest is just one 7 page paper, a midterm and final. The midterm and final are both multiple choice/short answer/long answer.

Grading:
20% reading quizzes
20% discussion (based on weekly assignments and participation)
20% essay
20% midterm
20% final

This is such a manageable course and the topics are extremely interesting and important. Would definitely recommend to all!
