Fall 2023 - #RealRating For this class, you will have to show up for every lecture since her PowerPoint are not posted, and they will be very helpful for your final. The main part of the class will be a presentation in your discussion, which is pretty easy, I think. Then, you have an essay that you can write on any topic you want. I recommend writing on something modern because your final will cover more historical topics that you won't be able to use if you write about them in your first paper. There are no tests, and the final is a take-home essay that Tamai gives you an entire weekend to complete. This class is full of supportive people, and they want you to succeed. At the end of the class, you are able to write an evaluation of what grade you think you deserve and they actually take your opinion into consideration. Summary: I definitely recommend this class if you want an easy GE (there are easier ones, but I found this class especially rewarding), and I also think that you will definitely learn something new. If you are an Asian you may even take something extra away from the class.

Fall 2019 - Dr. Welty Tamai is a wonderful professor and lecturer. She is clearly passionate and enthusiastic about what she's teaching and truly wants everyone to succeed. The class entails a ton of outside reading, but the class itself wasn't difficult at all and was quite enjoyable. There are three essays (one smaller one and two longer ones) as well as discussion presentations, so it's a bit work-intensive at times (but completely doable!). If you need a social analysis GE or Writing II, definitely try to take this class.

Winter 2020 - Professor Welty is so sweet and supportive! She actually tries to know everyone's name, and she gives almost everyone a PTE. I am not an AA major but this class was very manageable. The readings are very interesting and easy to skim through. Professor Welty's lectures are very engaging and interesting, and she is very helpful during office hours. She also lets her students decide which concepts to be on the finals. Professor Welty is one of the most approachable and sweet professor I ever had in UCLA. This class is also very interesting. Highly recommended!
