Quarter: Winter 2024
Grade: NR
Verified Reviewer This user is a verified UCLA student/alum.

3 Keyword assignments that consisted of about 9 pages each throughout the semester, and a final 1,000 word paper where you write a response to a prompt generated by chat gpt. Panagia is very interesting but sometimes he would go on and on and I would lose track on his point, he is funny and likable and easy to talk to. Participation in lecture matters if you want a better understanding of the material but not for actual credit. If you have Vanessa P she makes you do all these extra assignments on top in order to earn that participation credit and the work is easy although it is time consuming, I spoke to other students who had a diff TA and they said all they did to earn participation credit was show up so I didn't think that was fair but it is what it is. She does not respond to emails. She seems to really know her stuff though so I did appreciate that from her.

Professor is very abstract and hard to understand sometimes. Would not recommend unless you're really into political theory and can handle this type of analysis.
Grade was based on the following:
3x Keyword Assignments (3000 words each), (20% each)
- We pick 3 keywords for each assignment from the reading and analyze them) - it's impossible to get 100% on these, highest possible is 19.5/20 i think, but minimum is a B-
Participation in section (20% total, 2% each) (lecture you can skip but sometimes he gives extra credit)
Final (20%)
- we make ChatGPT do a keyword assignment and we have to give it a grade

It's not hard to get an A, but really difficult to get A+ if you're going law school so take at your own risk

Instructor was very willing to start a dialogue, even if things were not connected to course material. Instructor did not focus very much on the readings, even when pulling them up and annotating in front of class.
