Great, great professor. I took this class as a GE in my freshman year, and this has remained as one of the best classes at UCLA, looking back at my classes as a senior now.
I miss taking this class. I used to email the professor with questions, and he answered to all the questions with much care when he didn't even know my face. (Also, he extended the due date for a weekly assignment! Thank you so much professor!)
I remember that this class was sort of hard although the subject was very interesting and enjoyable. After the first midterm, I thought I did very well but got 76 or 78 something. Shocked, worked harder for the second midterm, got 92/96 or something. Final was hard. A few of the questions asked what were ~ (answer choices) if ~ (the questions) and if we were living in another planet. Final questions were creative and difficult. I walked out of the final room, feeling like I failed the exam.
The professor also gave extra credit (from which I only got 1 or 2 points haha). He was very gentle and clear during the lecture, although I didn't go to lectures much.. Therefore, I basically read all the textbook - studying would've been much easier if I went to his lectures! He is definitely my favorite professor although I only had him for a quarter. I would love to take his class again if I could. I'm very glad to see that he is still at UCLA.
