Summer 2018 - Radd is a tremendous professor. He's charming, charismatic, funny, and makes the material very interesting with his teaching style. I was fortunate to take his class -- he made it engaging and worth attending. He's the opposite of those unapproachable, cold and overly-serious professors who roam the halls of Bunche; he's what this school needs more of. Take his class if you can. Any one of them.

Winter 2016 - Radd was amazing and his lectures are extremely engaging. This class is a great prep for law school and he treats it as such. It's very reading heavy but he goes over the readings in class and skims through the most important parts. Ask questions and engage in discussions because he's very helpful in teaching that way as well.

Fall 2016 - I love this class! If you can take it I recommend you do because he is such an engaging professor, and the material can be tough to understand because its a lot but it's fun to learn and he makes it so simple for the students to understand. He gave a midterm and a final. The midterm had I.D's and fill in the blanks, and he gave the I.D's a week before which is extremely fair. Take him if you love the middle east and an engaging professor.

Winter 2019 - This was probably my favorite class I've ever taken at UCLA. We started with a couple weeks of really engaging and informative lectures on the history of the ICC and international criminal law. Then, we were all assigned roles and we simulated an international criminal trial for a majority of the quarter. Students were assigned to be prosecutors, defense attorneys, witnesses, judges, or media and we were responsible for researching and preparing for the trial as necessary per role. There was one final essay and a few short assignments throughout the quarter depending on role, but a majority of the work was self-directed and happened depending on when said role needed to be in the trial. I would definitely recommend that anyone take a class with Professor Radd for any kind of simulation!
