Spring 2019 - If your're looking for an easy Lab GE, take GEOG 5, it's a better experience (with less work). I took GEOG 2 online and never interacted with the professor, she does record audio for the power points though. The labs are in person with a TA. The lectures were a little cluttered and the exams were very fact-based (at times they felt like trivia). The textbook is not essential - I skimmed even though I didn't really need to. I did well and enjoyed this class mainly because I love biogeography -- it's kind of my thing. Breakdown: Lab -30% Discussion posts - 10% Barrier Quizzes (you take them till you get 100%) - 10% Midterm -25% Final (not cumulative) - 25%

Fall 2017 - This was probably the worst professor I have ever had at UCLA. She doesn't care about students at all. Students would ask to meet with her out of class but she was extremely unapproachable and would not give any sort of assistance at all. I would rather have to take the whole LS and Chem 14 series over again then have to take this class.
