Spring 2023 - I took the the Animation, Myth and Folklore Fiat Lux and it was one of my favourite classes at UCLA. We mainly watched cartoons and heard the history behind them. Prof Nagy was obviously very knowledgeable and passionate about the topic. We had a required final presentation about any animation or cartoon that we liked which was very simple and honestly open to interpretation. Professor Nagy also brought us milk and cookies on the last day which was very sweet.

This man is genuinely rude, petulant and self-absorbed to an incredible degree. This class is all about him, which he makes clear from the outset and repeats at frequent intervals. I have twice seen this man go into petulant rants in class, and speak very badly of students who were not present (people who were late, missed a class, etc.). This man does not just crow about his own accomplishments, he puts down others. Do not go into this class expecting to do anything but regurgitate Nagy's ideas back to him. Do not disagree with ANY idea he puts forth, do not attempt original thinking, et cetera.
