Winter 2016 - Leitner is sometimes difficult to understand and is very intense in class -- she will walk up and down the rows, making eye contact with each student as she passes by, and makes sure nobody is sitting in the back of the class. The content, however, is pretty interesting. If you are interested in population geography, it's a worthwhile course to take. A substantial portion of the grade is a research paper, which will take a good deal of time. I started working on it the day before, which was a really bad idea. Just be sure to come to class every week and prepare for her to be rather intense.

Fall 2017 - Do not take this class, I believed the positive reviews for this professor and took this class. This is one of my worst class I had in UCLA. The professor couldn't organize all her materials for class, and three of her TAs were always have different options about the assignments of this class, and the TA named Ryland Lu did not even understand the course materials when I ask him the question from class. This class has two field trips and you have to write two reports regard to the trip, but the professor and TAs always have different opinions about the requirements of the reports. Some of them will tells you to add photos and video in the word document, some of them will tells you to add the photos in wiki(ccle), and some of them will tells you to do whatever you like. They are extremely annoying because they will send you 10-15 emails in a week to repeat same thing, sometimes you will get 5 emails in half hour from the professor. The professor is a mess, do not take this class.
