I know that this class is notorious for being an easy A, but I actually really loved it. Professor Wen is very knowledgable and I found all of the readings interesting. If you don't like reading, this course is probably a bad idea.

The midterms make up most of your grade. They're both 20 questions each and are just basic reading comprehension. Literally all you have to do is the reading. It's that easy. I got 19/20 for both midterms and 95% on the essay. Mildly bummed about that, because an A+ would have been nice, but I can't really complain considering how little effort I put in.

Overall, this class was great and so was the professor :)

Midterms are most of grade. Make sure you look at the slides before the test! Only 20 MC questions. Memorize the topics!

I absolutely loved taking this class my first quarter at UCLA. Prof Wen is super nice and helpful, and a great lecturer too. Class breakdown involves 10% class participation (he calls on random people to discuss readings for the week every lecture), 10% on the final essay (or mock trial participation), and 40% for each of the two midterms, the second of which will serve as basically the final. I'd recommend doing the mock trial if possible- it'll give you full points for that 10% if you just do your job. Be warned that different roles will have different workloads- the legal counsel teams have to write their own arguments, but they also get 2% extra credit if you win the jury verdict.

The exams were actually harder than I expected given the reviews for this class. Be warned the first one, based just on readings, requires you to know really fine details about what happens. I actually read the readings every week rather and I still had trouble with a few questions on the exam. He hosts office hours after the first exam where you can go in and review your test: definitely worth it, there was a scantron mistake on mine and I gained back 5% of my grade. He also offered 5% extra credit to the class for those who scored below 75% on the midterm and/or the essay: if you're worried about your grade then but you're above the cutoff, you can email and ask. Second midterm was based more on novels and films so the questions were more general and easier.

All in all, this was one of my favorite classes this quarter. Lectures were engaging and the readings (for the most part) were super fun and short. I couldn't recommend this class more!

Easiest GE on campus as everyone knows by now. The readings only take 2-4 hours per week, but if you actually complete them the test are so easy it is wroth it. Just do the readings and get your A.
Grading Scheme
10%-Participation
40%- Midterm 1 (Week 5)
40%-Final (Held during lecture in week 10, no final in final week)
10%-Essay (Due in week 3 usually)
The participation points are free. You do not need to raise your hand and talk ever, he calls out random names and ask them questions about the readings. If you actually read the book before hand the questions are very easy and you will get full points. However, in the quarter he only has time to call 30-40 names so everyone else not called gets the 10% for free. (However, attending class is a must because he calls names randomly so if your name is called and you are absent best case you get only a 90% in the class)

The test are very easy if you actually read the books. Spark-notes or other online sites will not give you all the information. Spend the time, read the books is an easy A if you do.

The essay is kinda hard because you have to write 5 pages by week 3, however it seemed as if everyone received a 95% so chances are most essays were not read and it was all meaningless to try hard on it. Or in week 2 volunteer for the play and you don't have to write the essay, the play is very easy highly recommend.

As many of us know, Scand 50 is known as the easiest class at UCLA. While this was my first quarter here, it definitely lived up to its name. There were 2 midterms worth 40% each, 10% participation (you get full credit if he doesn’t call on you, but if he does and you don’t answer the questions correctly or you’re absent you’ll lose the 10%), and 10% for an essay unless you volunteer on a trial. Overall, it really is pretty easy, but make sure you actually do the readings and know what they’re talking about because each question on the midterm was worth 2% of your total grade :(.

Is the class easy? Yes, but it does not live up to its reputation of being the easiest class at UCLA (my other GE was easier). Since the tests are 40% each and only are 20 questions you can do all the readings and still not get an A. I think it's pretty doable to get a A- with minimal work, but it seems more worth it to take a GE which takes a little more work and a guaranteed A if you study. There's no real way to study for this class, except re-reading the books I guess, but that won't really necessarily help. He did change the class to be a little harder, I think. Also the syllabus plans everything out beforehand so check the lengths of readings WEEK 1. The readings in the beginning of Fall 2019 were all short and then when I had to study for finals we had to read 4 FULL BOOKS in like 2 weeks. Do/re-read the shorter readings; he asks small details for those. It would kinda suck to get a A- in this class, but it's totally possible even if you try and do all the readings, so keep that in mind before enrolling.

Easy class but you should do the readings to ensure an A in the class. I am selling the course reader, dwarf, the shadow and other tales, and anecdotes of destiny and ehrengard! also gotchu w free pdfs of naive super and hunger if u buy off me! sevenonefour-seventwoeight-nineonethreeseven

This class was changed to not be as easy as before, but still an extremely easy GE to take. Professor Wen is extremely nice and approachable and cares a lot about the subject, but his lectures felt a little scattered at times. There's a course reader and a few books you're supposed to buy, but pretty much all of the readings you can find online versions for free. If you want to do all of the readings there's actually a decent amount of homework, but generally you can get by with just skimming and reading plot summaries online. Grades are made up of two midterms 40% each, an essay worth 10%, and participation worth 10%. The midterms were very straightforward, but they are only 20 questions each so missing a question counts for a lot. Pretty much all the questions were just asking about the plots of the readings/films, with one or two questions actually coming from information from the lectures. Most of the questions are pretty easy to guess even if you haven't done the readings, but again there's very little room for error so be careful. I was able to get an A doing about half the readings and just looking up summaries for the rest. The essay was very straightforward and graded very easily so no worries there. The participation is graded by the last thirty minutes of lecture, when he calls on students to answer questions about the readings. He calls on about 2-3 students every lecture, so it's relatively unlikely you'll ever get called on (I never was, and you just get that 10% for free if you never get called), but still it's up to you if you want to risk missing lectures. I don't think he calls on people more than once though, so if you've been called on you pretty much don't have to show up for the rest of quarter. Also, I'm pretty sure he called on people alphabetically by last name for the first few lectures, so if you're last name starts with an A or B i'd definitely go at least at the very beginning. Generally though, it's a pretty easy GE and it's definitely possible to get an A in without putting in a lot of effort.
