Winter 2024 - This was the opposite of most of the reviews. He honestly is not a tough grade and it is doable to get a A if you try. The midterm and final were also curved as someone else mentioned. The group project was straightforward and my group finished it and got a A. His lectures were honestly really practical and interesting. He is engaging with his topics and tries to do things like Kahoot to create a encouraging atmosphere.Midterm and final are each 10 multiple choice and two short answer but if you do the study guide you will be fine.

Course: PS 141b BEST PROFESSOR AT UCLA! CLEAR - He types up the lecture outline for you, you just need to fill in the blanks. He goes slow and makes sure everyone understands what he is talking about FAIR - His tests are all straightforward; he even posts the questions for his tests up FUN - Great guy, funny and will not bore u to death like many other professors who talks like they hate their job. Phil loves what he does and he is so passionate GREAT PROFESSOR, I would take him for every single class at UCLA. Seriously.

He is a great lecturer, and informs on what he plans to put on the midterms and finals. However, getting an A in this class is very difficult. I got an A- after doing 98 and 96 on the two midterms, the final he gave me an 88 and wouldn't let me dispute it. The readings are not all that important, just go to class and pay attention.
