Professor Hunter is passionate about the material, but his lectures are boring—luckily, you don't ever have to go to them. This class is graded entirely by TAs on essays/projects and discussion participation. You will be expected to read (you can skim) a few articles every week, write Canvas discussion posts about them, and talk about them in discussion. There is also a manifesto project and final essay, which make up almost all of the grade. My TA Ren was reasonable and approachable, and also a very fair grader. And even though this was an easy GE at the end of the day, it was still very interesting.

This was one of my favorite classes that I've taken at UCLA! Lectures were held in person but you didn't necessarily have to be there because they were recorded. I personally enjoyed going. Assignments include weekly reading responses (not too bad, sometimes fun), a final research project (very fun because you get to choose your own topic), and one other paper around midterms that includes a visual aspect (also fun). I really enjoyed the content of this course and how an attempt was made to make it more fun through little comments and more creative coursework. I loved my TA Patty as well. Overall, would recommend.
