Fall 2023 - Professor Farzanegan is the best professor I had at my time at UCLA. I cannot highly recommend a professor more. She is extremely kind and caring to her students, which is extremely evident. She is an absolute angel and amazing professor who is really passionate about what she teaches. The course itself is not difficult it is more based around understanding and applying that understanding towards the group project which is centered around equity. She is knowledgeable and overall amazing!!

Winter 2021 - TAKE THIS CLASS!! Professor was super accommodating during COVID and allowed for a 72-hour grace period to turn in assignments late with NO penalty (and this also applied to the midterm!) I learned so much and the workload was light. Weekly reflections, 1 take-home midterm (we had 1 week to complete it - the average was about 95%), and an 'action plan' project that you work with in a group in your discussion sections. Super great course and he really aims to teach students and allows us to work with the material. Highly recommend!

Summer 2024 - Professor Melstrom is hands down the best professor I've had while a student at UCLA. Her lectures are very engaging which makes it easy for students to follow along. The class consists of 2 quizzes, one midterm exam, and a final project. For this particular summer session, class was held via Zoom on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9-11:05AM. I would highly recommend taking thorough notes leading up to the midterm as they will make the preparation process much smoother. After the exam, the main focus of the class is the final project. The grade you get in the class is greatly impacted by your grade on the project which consists of an in-class presentation, group paper, presentation slides, and your evaluation of your team members. I had a great group and felt we all contributed to the project, so as a result, we completed the class with good grades. I highly recommend taking this course with Professor Melstrom as she is genuinely passionate about the content that she is teaching, while making sure that students successfully understand the materials taught in an engaging and fun way!
