Literally my favorite class. If you have an interest in space and are a humanities major who wants science credit out of the way—take this cluster. All of the professors held ample office hours and for the most part TAs were really helpful with any questions too. Grading is super easy with the final only 10% so I definitely know people who failed the final and still got an A. There is the smallest bit of math so be aware but very manageable and this was definitely the better of the two quarters, very engaging, interesting, and most of the time understandable. Shout out to my favorite professor Erik Petigura

Evolutions cluster is great! The professors are all extremely accomplished and passionate about the topics. The class does move quite fast, but the cluster system is great about helping new students and guiding them through navigating not only tough classes, but UCLA as a whole. The workload of the class is pretty manageable, just a lot of readings, although the readings are useful!

The cluster was interesting but I got an A- because of the final paper. My advice would be to use office hours religiously, it greatly helps. The workload for this class is very manageable if you stay on top of your assignments and the scoring of the participation grade is based on weekly labs which you will be guided through by your TA.
