Winter 2025 - DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH THIS PROFESSOR EVER!!!!!! I have never had an exam where I literally feel like I can't answer the questions and need to leave things blank. The format of his midterms are absolutely BRUTAL for 50 minutes (4 MCQ and 6 IN DEPTH FRQ) and NO ONE finishes on time or early. This specific quarter he told the TA that he was going to drop our lowest midterm score (oh wow yay)...JUST KIDDING!! He changed his mind after the TA told all of us and then made the next midterm twice as hard as the first. Not to mention, he doesn't even come to class on midterm days, it's just the TA, he KNOWS how hard he makes them and avoids the confrontations with students by claiming "he is sick" (he was sick on both midterm days, never others). This was also the quarter of the fires in LA and he had NO SYMPATHY of any of the students impacted. Before taking the first midterm (week 3), I had been physically in person for 3 classes total because we were online for the rest of the weeks. Not to mention "online" meant his lecture recordings from 2020 so you can't ask questions or get any sort of help from him. HE WILL CALL YOU OUT IN CLASS IF YOU EVEN GLANCE AT YOUR PHONE AND WILL THREATEN TO KICK YOU OUT!!!!!! I honestly have never had a professor at UCLA like this and it is VERY disappointing that this man is still able to teach at this school. We pay so much money to get our education and unfortunately professors like this do NOT teach and do NOT care about your learning. DO BETTER UCLA
