Fall 2024 - i really enjoyed this class. gillespie is a GREAT and ENGAGING lecturer. he does not post slides or record lectures (my downfall). but his lectures were so fun, the course content was deeply relevant and interesting, and it was at 12:30, so i came to class a lot. it is one of those classes where your grades are only comprised of a midterm and final essay, but it's not too bad. i recommend this class for anyone interested in healthcare, medicine, or seeking to work in those fields. what you get out of the class really depends on what you put in - gillespie is a good person to ask questions and talk with abt class concepts. he is a bit hard to reach over email tho :')

Fall 2016 - Gillespie is a great professor. Honestly, I did not find the material super interesting. Had this been a normal professor I probably would have spent more than half of each lecture zoned out, however, his lecturing style is super engaging. He is super passionate about what he is teaching and this is what makes the class fun. If you are willing to work you will get at least an A- , but the material is dense. He is super helpful and will always be willing to work with you if you put in the effort. Overall, I thought he was a great professor. If I had of been more interested in the material it probably would have been one of my favorite classes taken at UCLA so far.
