Spring 2018 - I took this class as a life science major trying to get an easy GE credit and it was pretty easy. I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed this class though, I feel like a lot of professors say they don't want you to focus on grades and just learn but Professor Nelson actually backs that up. He is very clear in lectures, and the exams are not made to try to trick you. I would highly recommend this class to anyone, because a lot of the information from this class changed how I view and navigate the world. Even though this class had nothing to do with my major it was still one of my favorite classes I took at UCLA.

Simply put, don't take this class unless you are an art history major with no other option or if you're some sort of robot computer. Seriously, the amount of memorization required to succeed in this course is impeccable. Most students go in without a single spec of knowledge about African Art History and leave without any knowledge of it. I highly recommend you find another class to fulfill your G.E. If you are an art history major, then good luck! You are going to need it.
