Winter 2023 - Dr. Bahtina is an awesome professor who really knows her craft. The lectures and readings are pretty dense with information and can feel a bit overwhelming. With that said, Dr. Bahtina is there for her students all the time and provides a lot of recourse for any issues that may arise while learning. The group projects are probably the toughest part of the class because they entail the most work and communication among your peers more than any other element of the class. If you attend class, do what is required, and engage in the material, you'll do well. We're lucky to have her here at UCLA.
