Fall 2023 - This was one of my favorite classes that I've taken at UCLA! Lectures were held in person but you didn't necessarily have to be there because they were recorded. I personally enjoyed going. Assignments include weekly reading responses (not too bad, sometimes fun), a final research project (very fun because you get to choose your own topic), and one other paper around midterms that includes a visual aspect (also fun). I really enjoyed the content of this course and how an attempt was made to make it more fun through little comments and more creative coursework. I loved my TA Patty as well. Overall, would recommend.

Fall 2017 - Took this class in the fall of my Sophomore year. This class really is a great introduction to LBGTQ studies. Even if you are curious to learn more and ask questions it is a safe space to engage in lectures. It's basically a class on the history of the LGBTQ community. The readings are all online and given. There are no tests just different parts of essays. You also receive extra credit for attending events and writing a page on the event.
