Winter 2025 - I rarely write reviews for classes, but I had to for this one. This class was easily my favorite of all that I have taken at UCLA. Every class was genuinely engaging and so interesting that I would never find that my attention was wandering during lecture. As someone who grew up reading many of the texts from the class, I never realized how much was going over my head until I took the course. The class grade consisted of 10 short reading responses (which help to study later for the midterm), a midterm, attendance, a final essay, and a final exam. None of the exams were unreasonable (I just took the final, so don't know my final grade yet) but they definitely required attending the lectures. I would absolutely recommend this class.
