I took this class as a science GE and it didn't disappoint! There are so many opportunities for extra credit and even though the midterms are difficult you can get a good grade in the class! He is a very cool professor that has discovered many important objects in space.

This class is the easiest GE you will ever take at UCLA. Jewitt provides 20% of extra credit, which involves just going out and doing somewhat "space" related things. If you want an A+ in the class, just do the extra credit and you'll never have to worry and showing up to lectures or studying hard for exams. Jewitt is a great professor and is extremely accomplished and passionate about space. This is reflected in his lectures which happen to be quite interesting. Don't hesitate to take this class- it is a no stress A+.

This had to be one of the most fun and interesting classes I have taken in a while including back in high school. The Professors lectures were very engaging and had plenty of examples for anyone to understand the material as he would even make complicated subjects easy to understand with the way he speaks. The thing I found interesting about his lectures were that he would integrate his own homemade videos of the subject we were talking about in class which made it seem much more in tune with the real world. He gives plenty of extra credit although it is hard to obtain compared to most classes and if you don't want to do it you don't have to, I did not. Overall this was a fun class to take and I would recommend it to anyone looking into this area or anyone really that is in need of an extra GE.

Amazing class! Professor Jewitt really cares about teaching the material without putting too much stress on his students. The midterm and final are online but aren't easy, but it doesn't matter too much on how you do on them since there is so much extra credit. As long as you do the extra credit assignments (some of which are fun like going to Griffith Observatory) and show up to at least lab discussions, you should easily be able to get an A. As for lectures, attendance was not required, but they were interesting, so most people showed up anyways. He also posts "mini-lectures" on Canvas which summarized of what was discussed during lecture, which were very helpful for studying.
