Professor Blank certainly loves teaching. He's eager to explain and reexplain difficult concepts. He tries very hard to make grading fair, and he's quite possibly the most intelligent professor I've encountered at UCLA. These qualities, along with his quirky sense of humor made for an educational and entertaining quarter of Greek.

Winter 2023 - The name of this class is kind of deceiving because it's not really about actual medicine; it's more about history/philosophy. You don't have to go to lecture because it's so boring and you won't really learn anything. Basically I just read the readings/skimmed the slides before discussion so I had material to speak about. There are 4 total papers (1 is a midterm, 1 is a final) and I would read the readings in a lot more depth to write those. It can feel like you are constantly writing a paper because there is not much time in between them. They were graded pretty easily, though, and there was an extra credit opportunity at the end that will move your grade up 3%. I would definitely recommend this class as a GE overall.
