The main focus that the professor kept emphasizing was the final project which was due at the end of the quarter. It was a group project up to 5 people in a group, each contributing at least 2,000 words to the project. Lectures were packed in the beginning weeks, but eventually I remember one time I counted only 15 students in the room maybe around week 7 or 8. I liked this class mainly because of my TA and the people I met in which it was easy to talk and relate our feelings on how the class was unorganized and being confused during lectures. In the beginning of the quarter, they said we would discuss the readings during discussions so I bought the required texts, but we never did discuss them.. I could have saved the money if I knew that :// I think I missed a couple of discussion sections, but still got an A+. This class is manageable if you're able to find people to interview asap and are willing to meet up with your groupmates a couple of times in the city you choose. Good luck if you need to take this class :)

I would not recommend anyone to take this class. This is a relatively easy GE because you literally don´t have to go to any of the lectures because they are not useful at all. The professor often doesn´t use slides and is not organized at all, we spend one whole lecture just discussing the word "like" , and no one had any idea what was going on or what the lecture or final project would be about until the third week of classes.
For the final project you have to get together with a group of 4/5 people from your discussion and interview people on the streets which is very boring and a pain in the ass project which is not useful or interesting at all. She wanted us to study the accent of the people who live in Los Angeles and for the final paper each PERSON from the group needed to contribute 2 000 WORDS to the same paper analysing a 2min piece of your interview. It is very anoying paper to write and you don´t learn anything doing it, at some point you just make things up to reach the word count.
If you like to write and don´t mind group projects you can take this class cause it´s an easy A if you deliver all the work, but I feel like you could spend your time doing something more useful.
