Spring 2020 - Prof. Andrea was very kind, mindful and helpful. Due to COVID, as long as one put in the effort and time one would receive a good grade. Also, I found the readings to be very informative and interesting. The workload was not too much all we had to do was three essays and discussion posts on Discord. We also read about 3-4 books which can be found online! Very interesting and informative class. Take it with this prof you will not regret it!

Winter 2019 - I'm not really an english/language arts kind of person, but I loved taking this class. I was scared at first to take this class, because I felt my writing skills may not be where they need to be, but I thoroughly enjoyed this class. This class was focused around bioethics and disability and through the poems, short stories, and novels we read in the class, I was able to see the differences in how disability was portrayed, and the attitudes of people reacting to those disabilities and the effect of those behaviors. I also learned better skills to write better, which has helped in papers that I had written in classes after that. The grade distribution is: Posts (10%), Participation (20%), Presentation (10%), Paper 1 (10%), Paper 2 (15%), Paper 3 (15%), and Paper 4 (20%). Vivian is very sweet, and focuses on interactions during class. She makes sure we have a welcoming environment and everyone is able to be heard for their opinions. Through these discussions, I was able to expand my perspective even more. She helped me a lot into becoming a better writer, and her passion for the issues we discussed in class showed through and transferred to us, her students. Overall, I would highly suggest you all take this class!

Spring 2021 - This is one of my favorite classes I've taken at UCLA. Everything we talked about was engaging and we had a lot of interesting discussions. Tony is incredibly kind, understanding, approachable, and genuinely cares for the wellbeing of their students. They're a queer Asian person, and as a fellow queer Asian person, I found them rather inspiring. I genuinely enjoyed the discussions we had, and everyone in my class seemed intrinsically motivated, and so everyone was constantly sharing ideas and participating. I would highly recommend taking this class with Tony. They are empathetic, intelligent, and passionate about the subject, and overall an excellent instructor.
