This was definitely an easy class! If you are looking for an easy GE, look no further! Although the content after the midterm gets a little bit harder, as long as you pay attention in lecture (which I did not do), you will be fine. A lot of people skipped lecture cause she would post the slides online and they were very detailed and easy to understand/follow. There would be weekly homeworks which were easy enough to do and there would also be weekly quizzes in discussion which were based on completion and a form of attendance. The professor was very nice and always made sure to answer questions! I definitely recommend you take this class!

Up until the final this was the easiest class ever. Read the other reviews for logistics but it was such a light workload, midterm was super easy, and so were the weekly “quizzes.” I want to say that the professor is extremely rude and does not like answering questions. She is very blunt and as the quarter progressed she only got worse. Then there is the issue of the final. Someone posted that we didn’t do well because of overconfidence and not studying which can’t be further from the truth. I studied and got a B- which isn’t terrible but compared to the difficulty of this class I was really upset. Also, I had a literal A+ on every assignment in this class including the midterm and still ended with an A- after getting a B- on the final. It’s complete B.S. I regret taking this as a GE

Sadly, Professor Sharvit is not very helpful. I went to office hours for clarification on an exam. She told me that she didn't have time to go through it with me.

Ridiculously easy GE. Barely any homework, honestly just review the lectures (you can definitely miss a few, tbh) and you'll be absolutely fine.

Really easy class! Weekly pass no pass quizzes in section and a midterm/final that are based off the slides (she posts them to ccle) definitely recommend taking it as an easy A ge!

This is definitely the easiest Philosophic and Linguistic Analysis GE. There is very minimal work in this class, and the tests are extremely easy (literally go over the slides the night before and you'll be fine). She posts all of the slides online too. Highly recommended.

Ling 1 is probably one of the easiest classes I've ever taken at UCLA. The material is incredibly easy and most of the content could probably be derived with a little common sense. There are six homework assignments, one of which is to participate in a human study, and they are all pretty easy and not at all time-consuming. The midterm and final were both multiple choice and if you didn't do well on the midterm, you had the option to take an EC section of the final that could replace a bad midterm score. The questions on exams are very straightforward and follow the exact format as lecture examples. Sharvit was so patient during lecture and I honestly felt bad that she constantly had to repeat herself for students who clearly weren't paying attention. Overall, it's a SUPER easy class and I would 100% recommend it as a GE.

Honestly, probably the easiest class I will ever take at UCLA. The material was very interesting, which made it better to attend lecture and section. The midterm and final were both multiple choice, with very simple questions. She assigned short homework responses every week, which were easy too. There was a quiz in section every week, but all you had to do was show up and take it to pass since they were P/NP. She also assigned students to take part in a psychological study and right an essay about it, which was also relatively easy. All in all, take this class with Sharvit if you can. It'll save your life.

Take this class with Sharvit! This class is so easy. The midterm and final are each about 30 multiple choices. The easiest test I have ever taken. You just need to study the slides for the tests. There weren't much material for this class. And the materials are actually interesting. Sharvit makes this class even better.
I didn't really pay attention to the first homework. So I got a C on the first one. Then I went to TA's office hours and got good grades for other homeworks.
This class is so chill and has super light workload.
Take it for an easy A!

This professor is great and I loved the class. It was not difficult at all. It is fairly easy to get As on most of the homework assignments. However, the final was a bit more difficult than the midterm. For the midterm, most students got an A+ whereas most students got a B- on the final. This is why I ended up with an A-, otherwise, I'd say it is fairly easy to get an A or A+.
