LOVED this class! Very interesting material that covered a lot of different aspects of the subject. Professor Mankekar knows how to keep things interesting and challenge her students to think beyond what we are normally taught to think. The readings were not bad at all, and discussion sections really helped to clarify the ideas. Lectures were interesting, as were the videos shown in class. My TA, Derek, was AWESOME. Highly recommend him! Exams were a breeze and Professor Mankekar and the TAs prepared the students very well. I would definitely take this class again, and I urge everyone else to take it too!

Professor Mankekar is one of the best professor I have had a UCLA. She is so passionate about the class and she truly cares about her students. I recommend taking a class with her. The class was fair and ranged from a variety of topics!
