Dr. Frank is a very top-notch professor. He tells very funny dad jokes and super interesting stories about the people we are learning about. He is very kind and accommodating to students. He truly wants to see us learn and that is awesome. His tests are very fair and predictable. He focuses on themes rather than facts and really forces you to think about trends and changes in medicine. Unfortunately, I think he is retiring, but he was not I would certainly take many classes with him!

Seriously one of the best professors. He's old school (literally and figuratively) so he teaches the way thing should be taught as opposed to the BS we experience with younger professors. UCLA needs to hire more instructors like him! He completely focuses on understanding and getting us to notice analyze history as opposed to just remember it. There's lots of creative thinking and exploration in this class and even almost made me want to change my major to this one.

He is the nicest human being too!

As a GE, HIST 3D is far too tough to be worth the effort. Given that I eked out A minuses on both the final papers and midterms, I was very surprised to learn my final grade was only a B+, despite putting in far more effort and writing, in my opinion, much better essays in the final exam. This means that I either got shafted by my TA somehow for participation or I'm just plain stupid. Regardless, I can't recommend this class in good faith. The reading is heavy for a GE, and it seems like the returns you get aren't worth the effort.
