Spring 2023 - This was one of the best classes I've taken at UCLA. Professor Romero helped us breakdown the cases involved in the history of affirmative action. We had great conversations in his class. I find him to be fair and pastoral, even if you don't agree with him. Read the cases, go to class and go to discussions and you'll be just fine. Grading is based off a weekly discussion post, midterm and Final. He did offer extra credit throughout the course, so take advantage.

The reviews are more than right. Professora Takash is quite possibly the best professor at UCLA and is someone who definitely cares about her students learning. Provides an educational environment that allows students to think critically about political and social issues while engaging in worthwhile discussions. She provides opportunity for field work to apply classroom knowledge. Provides students with a sense of self-confidence and empowerment.
