Professor von Falkenhausen is honestly one of the nicest, best professors I've had at UCLA. Not only is he extremely understanding of students personal lives and willing to be flexible with your needs, he's a very fair grader and very straightforward with what he's looking for in assignments. His exams are fair, and you only have one per quarter, which gives you tons of time to do the readings. He was always available for students to reach out to for help and I've never had a professor email me back so quickly! You have one final paper and he gives you the entire quarter to prepare, and you can reach out to him to have him read your drafts and give you comments before submitting it. He's also really passionate about what he teaches, which you can feel in lecture. I would most definitely take a class with him again and for anyone taking an Art His class I would strongly recommend him.

Excellent professor. Just make sure to request that he reads your papers, not the TA.
