The two other reviews sum up the two ways people approach this class. I highly suggest you take the route of the 2022 review. If you view education as a game and this class as an easy A, then you're certainly not alone and your view is understandable in the scheme of our neoliberal, capitalist society.
.
But perhaps, take a look at that "game" and question its foundations, question whether that game is ideal. Then further question the extent to which you are strictly beholden to the ideals and paths our society espouses, and whether the life you are living is the life you would like to live. This doesn't have to be a fundamental rewriting, but maybe a reconsideration of some aspects. Listen to this class with open ears, discuss freely, and ponder the possibility of something different. That's my suggestion.
Peter is one of the most wonderful human beings on UCLA's campus full of life and rich character. He's rebuking the way academia has stood unchallenged for several years and I have learned more from him than anyone else. Use the time you would normally have doing homework assignments in a regular course to read that book you've been wanting to get around to, or practice some type of self-care if you're in need of it, to examine your own life as we so rarely do. This class is for people who are inspired by the pursuit of knowledge and want to see that done in a way that is alternative to the university way. If you seek Peter out beyond the classroom it is going to be a rewarding experience.
I literally didnt go to a single lecture. The homework is to turn in a "ritual" you learned or it could be about anything. Some people drew pictures, someone wrote haiku's, I literally used it as a diary to talk about gossip. You could literally write anything and turn it in. I did the entire quarter homework in two hours (write 10 rituals). There is no directions on what to do. One week all I wrote was "I dropped my rende burrito and cried. Now I know to carry the box with two hands" and I got a 100% lol. So yeah super easy class if you need to get some units.
NO TEST, NO QUIZZES, NOT MANDATORY TO ATTEND CLASS, NO BOOK, and practically no homework like you can finish all of it the first day of class like I did. Hope this helps! :)
