Quarter: Fall 2017
Grade: A-
Aug. 17, 2018

I took this class to fulfill a Sociology requirement. This class is definitely boring if you are not legit interested in American Indian Culture. However I needed to take it. It wasn't too bad at first because it was new information but he is very repetitive. Some people may enjoy that but I just wanted to move on. Anyway, attendance is necessary because there are no discussion sections and this is the only place to get information. Like other reviewers have said, he tells you exactly what to write down for the essays. There are 4 books and 1 course reader you need to purchase for the class. And yes, you need them for the essays. There's no way around it. I have the course reader and loose-leaf versions of the books (in a binder). Great condition. Little to no highlighting on the course reader and the other books have important quotes highlighted and notes to help you with the papers. If you pay full price online or in the bookstore it would be about $145 for all 5 required books/course reader. Ill priority ship them to you for only $50. Pay through Venmo. Take it or leave it. I graduated / moved out of LA so its the only way. Text: **********

There are 3 essays total which are all boring to write. However, he does give you specific questions of what he wants to be addressed. Although this seems like an easy thing to do it can be tough because lectures are very dry and hard to listen to. You will basically be teaching yourself in this class and books are needed to write the essays (3 books).

Quarter: Spring 2016
Grade: A-

Probably the worst sociology class I have ever taken at UCLA. Three essays, all of which require no creativity and just regurgitating what the Professor lectures/writes about. Sounds easy, however Professor Champagne's lectures are painful to go to because they are so unclear. He will often go off on tangents which are irrelevant & useless. Please do not take this course unless you absolutely need to.
