Winter 2025 - Easiest class I have ever taken at UCLA. Professor is super easy going, only 2 papers and weekly discussion posts. Lectures are not mandatory but extra credit is given for attendance. My only bone to pick with this class is the way information is presented. A vast majority of claims made by the professor and especially guest lecturers were not backed up by any evidence, it was a very biased course. I don't think any data was presented in the entire quarter to back up claims made.

Fall 2024 - Overall the lectures were engaging, my favorite part was when they would show interviews, movie clips, and parts of documentaries that were tied into the course material. The class would be engaged with the lectures and sometimes there was in class group collaboration but it was pretty lowkey. The discussion sections were pretty disorganized and didn’t feel they were worth much personally. The midterm assignment was cool and the final project wasn’t too difficult. A little more guidance on the assignment might have been helpful for the midterm. They were a bit nitpicks with the formatting and style of the papers, which is very normal for writing classes but just be mindful of that. The weekly assignments could take a surprisingly long time but it’s overall not a heavy workload. I would recommend this class with this professor if you are interested in learning about lgbtq issues or want to get the literally and cultural analysis Ge out of the way with a chill class.
