Quarter: Winter 2024
Grade: A
Verified Reviewer This user is a verified UCLA student/alum.

This class was very boring. Every session consisted of sitting there and watching the professor read off of a slideshow, which was always at least 70% quotes from whatever book we had to read that week. The works we read were interesting, but I did not feel like I gained any further understanding of them during the lectures. This class is also based on discussion, so there were a lot of pauses and awkward silences when the professor asked a question and no one would answer.

There are three written assignments (2 short papers and an annotated bibliography that's graded on completion) and a "fishbowl" presentation where you group up with a couple of people and talk about an assigned book in front of the class. These are the only times when I felt like I was conscious. Oh, and if you miss a class, you have to write a three-page paper to make up for it.
