Winter 2024 - This is a MUST class at UCLA. It fulfills the a GE requirement and it is one of the funnest classes I have ever taken. This class is hosted at the Florya Kauffman theatre and it is hosted once a week for 3 hours. There are two professors that conduct the class and both are funny and interactive. This class has you create a creative assignment each week based on the topic, you answer a reflection/response question, and attend/watch the creative thing reflecting that week. There was no final exam/paper, you worked with your discussion section to create a final presentation and you presented it to the entire class. This class had many guest speakers and so many in class activties( that are not difficult at all), however it is important to note that while they don't take attendance because it is a large class, you will need to submit proof that you completed the in-class activity and in a sense that serves as your attendance. Also, don't be scared off by the syllabus they send out or the message about dropping the course if doesn't seem right for you, this is a super easy and fun class, you won't regret it. Also, DO NOT buy the book, you do not need it all!!!
