History 142A is an excellent class with an excellent professor. We had an in-class midterm consisting of 3 IDs and 1 essay and an in-class final consisting 5 IDs and 2 essays. Both were based on lectures and readings and the questions were given out a week in advance. There were no papers or quizzes. The lectures were compelling while the readings were light. The lecture notes were available at the bookstore! This class was GREAT (and easy) and I highly recommend Dr. SarDesai. His TAs change from quarter to quarter and they only grade the IDs so that should not be a consideration. SarDesai grades all the essays and is very generous. I love him and wish I could take more of his classes because he has such dedication and wisdom.

I'll tell you what--this class is one of the most essential classes one should take at UCLA. Not only does this professor treat everyone with the utmost sincerity and kindness, he has a great sense of humor and is able to tell the historical landmarks of the British Empire in the form of a narrative story, which leaves you wanting to come back for more the next class period. I won't lie, I didn't go to every lecture or even study that hard but listening to what he had to say was I feel quite important to my overall cultural well-being and was reflected in my A+ in the class. Take this class y'all.

Professor SarDesai is one of the top three history professors at UCLA. His lectures are at the perfect pace and very interesting. His knowledge is endless and he is incredibly warm. He makes his students feel very comfortable to approach him and his tests are direct. No tricks. Just knowledge. I learned a lot and enjoyed the class.
