Fall 2024 - This class is entirely reliant on your group project. If you get a good group, this will be by far the easiest class you take at UCLA. If you get a bad group, you're going to really struggle. Interestingly, the lecture under Kurtz was almost entirely peripheral to success at the group project – it had no bearing to the graded content in the class and more seemed to be a survey for people's personal curiosity. If you're interested in getting some project-based work on your resume though, this is a good class to take because its pretty open-ended.

Winter 2024 - Dr. Kurtz has some of the most professional lectures I have ever experienced. Every single one is so cohesive and feels very natural even if some of the subject matter is not as engaging. I can tell she has a passion for history. She also spent so much time supporting my group's project outside of class time to ensure we were able to meet our goals. Definitely goes above and beyond as a professor, especially after learning that she has a young child and lives so far away from campus. Superhero of an instructor.
