Winter 2025 - Professor Avila lectured a good amount during Winter Quarter and I did enjoy his lectures. He focuses on architecture and history during the 60s. His lectures are very information-heavy heavy which can make the class a little boring and heavy, but in general, what he covers is very interesting history. The class is made up of two papers, a music paper and a history assignment closing with a final. The class is not recorded, but lecture slides are posted on BruinLearn.

Winter 2019 - Professor Decker is so fucking boring; by the end of the second quarter I hated his lectures with passion. The other professors were somewhat better, specially Fink, but overall the class gets really tiresome by the Winter quarter. However, I would advise sticking with it until the end, as the Spring seminar was quite fun and enjoyable (I took it with Tom, but it is different for every TA and year, so YMMV). Personally, I think it's worth the extra credit.

Winter 2025 - Professor Fink was my second favorite professor from this cluster. In this class, he focuses on 60s music and lectures a good amount. He's very active during his lectures, singing, dancing, and engaging with students. I found his lectures to be extremely informative and interesting. The class is made up of two papers, a music paper and a history assignment closing with a final. The class is not recorded, but lecture slides are posted on BruinLearn.
