Yeah I'm gonna second what the last person said--hes super chill. You gotta remember that there is no such thing as an easy A at UCLA. There are classes that are easy--but no hey I'm gonna sit here and play games while he tells me to do something classes. You gotta do some work (2 hours of studying the day before the midterm or final). I don't know what it is, but at the time I took it, a lot of people got owned on the midterm. Being a Southie, I'm just gonna say those people were Norths that were lazy. But then again I know a lot of hard working Norths so lets just say those people were lazy and didn't realize that when you put 0 work in you get owned. Class is interesting and the work is manageable. Essay is really not that bad if you can write (not great mind you, just pretty good).
