In the post below, its really interesting that you talked about my TA. Theri is tough and she's not afraid to call you on your *ish. Hell, you shouldn't have been doodling next to the TA. If you wanted to do that, you should have sat elsewhere! And, technically, she's right. She knows more about education than you do obviously. I was in her section and she's cool. She explains things carefully, thinks about other people's opinions and answers them honestly, and makes hilarious jokes. She's also really knowledgeable about many other cultures and makes a bunch of people feel included. I was a little intimidated by that smirk she wears, but it really just means she's interested in what you're saying and kind of thinking the same thing. She's a little old school (I'm the teacher, you're the student). I could handle that especially because if you respect her, you're cool. She's human... LOL.. (ie Dear person who was doodling... um, you messed up) Anyhoo, Mufti was cool as a lecturer, but I've seen people call the prof complicated if he gives too many points and it IS a lower div after all. I liked the reading and it was fun to learn from him. He's cool at office hours, but a little aloof.

This class requires you to read some very interesting literature. Whatever your opinion on the professor, you have the oppertunity to read something atypical that's actually rewarding and interesting. The discussion section I had (with my TA Posner) was one of the most engaging and interesting English sections I've had here at UCLA. Professor Mufti is an intelligent man, though honestly, while his points are interesting, he repeats them about seven times and after the third time you're drowsy. However, I enjoyed this class, and it wasn't obnoxiously challenging. The papers are hard to tackle if you're not good with essays but that's to be expected with any CompLit class.

Winter 2022 - Poli Sci majors, listen up: this is the writing 2 class for you. The subject matter was interesting with a great tie in to international politics, grading was reasonable, and the workload wasn't too bad at all. You don't have to attend lecture; it's discussion that will help you succeed in this class.
