Spring 2024 - Prof De is a great professor who is very kind and willing to help her students all the time. She made this upper-division class manageable and enjoyable for me, who was a freshman. Her class is extra unique because it is centered on the students rather than a set syllabus and assignments. As long as the topic is related to diversity, which is a broad field, you can choose any topic. This allowed this course to be immensely engaging and enjoyable. It was one of the best courses I took at UCLA. Grade breakdown: - Proposal (max 3-4 pages) 25% - In-class writing and Homework 10% - Peer Feedback 10% - Presentation (under 9 minutes) 30% - Research Paper (5+ pages and was due after finals week) 25% Note that she was very considerate and accommodating in the midst of the protests and strikes, where she pushed deadlines and reduced the page requirement for the final paper from 12+ pages to 5+ pages. I would definitely strongly recommend this course to everyone, especially for those who ned to fulfill the Writing 2 req.
