Gana is defiantly interested and knowledgeable on what he teaches. I enjoyed his film selection for the class and felt he was a fair grader. Participation in the class will get you far. And the workload is very manageable.

Gana is the most uninspiring arrogant fuck I've ever encountered in my entire life. This is my fourth year at UCLA and I've never had an issue with a professor. However, I cannot CANNOT stand this man. He is truly a piece of shit. I have approached him many time in office hours asking for help with material. After every conversation with him, I've left the room feeling like shit about myself. Mind you, I have a 3.94 GPA and the material in his class is not really over my head, I just wanted guidance in doing an assignment. He spreads negativity like wildfire. He is a disease that needs to be quarantined and kept away from developing minds.

Hands down best class I have taken at UCLA, I learnt so much, watched so many movies, became friends with everyone in the discussions and love the professor. He is passionate about what he teaches, has a great syllabus with diverse movies, films and interviews to watch, and kept the class engaging all 10 weeks. Workload was very manageable and participation was expected. I highly recommend this class and I guarantee any of his other classes are amazing as well! :)
