Do yourself a favor and take a different ethics class. We had two individual papers and a group paper, which was a mess to coordinate and write. The tests were a mix of multiple choice (which was a joke, you can control+F the answers since it’s open book) and short essays. Other ethics classes just had the multiple choice. You also have to present on one of your essays in discussion. We had to stay the whole 3 hours every week in discussion even though there was nothing to do. The professor is extraordinarily dull and thinks he knows the perfect solution to every problem. This will be the most boring class you will take at UCLA and it won’t be close.

In the first lecture he asks if you want 2 midterms or 1 midterm and 1 final, the 2midterm option is easier bc theyre not cummulative, and are open book/note on canvas. Theyre fairly easier if u know how to search ur book. Other than that we had 2 essays, pretty easy if ur TA helps. I would recommend Mattie Greene bc she helps alot with leaving feedback and has 1:1 meetings. You should also have peer review during section. Also sections doesnt go more than 2 hrs. Yes lecture can get boring but the slides dont rly give a lot of info that will get tested on so its worth it to watch them.
