Although Dr. Tallens lectures are dry most of the time, the material is very interesting. The lectures are very well organized. There was one paper. It was easy since she wanted us to write about ourselves. She is all bark and no bite. She tells you exactly what is going to be on the midterm and final. She gives a few possible questions and you have to answer two of them. She also has short answer Id's which she gives a list of before hand. Nobody should have a problem getting an A on her exams and in the class. I have also heard she is an expert at catching exam cheaters, so don't even attempt it. If you need to cheat in her class you should noty be at UCLA. Give up your spot to someone who wants to be here.

Her lectures are organized and very routine. The work load is reasonable. The only problem i have with her is her unfair grading system. she DOES NOT give out pluses and minuses so pretty much a 80% - 89% is a B. It think this is very unreasonable and does not give us what grade we deserve. I went to debate my grade because i knew i did better than a B and found out that i got a 89% but she told me,
"I don't give out pluses and minuses." WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?????
