Fall 2024 - One of the nicest professors ever! The lecture itself was super interesting. However, it could be a bit confusing at times. It is a lot of hypotheticals and philosophical questions, so when it felt confusing, I would go to office hours, which was a huge help. There are no tests, only essays, but definitely work hard on them since they count for nearly all of your grade. I would love to have him again as a professor, and I highly recommend this class!

Fall 2016 - Gillespie is a great professor. Honestly, I did not find the material super interesting. Had this been a normal professor I probably would have spent more than half of each lecture zoned out, however, his lecturing style is super engaging. He is super passionate about what he is teaching and this is what makes the class fun. If you are willing to work you will get at least an A- , but the material is dense. He is super helpful and will always be willing to work with you if you put in the effort. Overall, I thought he was a great professor. If I had of been more interested in the material it probably would have been one of my favorite classes taken at UCLA so far.
