After taking this class, I found it surprisingly necessary to create an account just to review the professor. To be honest, she is the absolutely worst professor I’ve ever met at UCLA, to an extent that I could never have imagined. Her class was just her reading off her terrible, non-logic slides, with terrible English. She read so fast that we could hardly follow or understand. As a result, she sometimes ended her lectures earlier than expected but was not willing to give the next topic because she "didn’t prepare it".
When we tried to ask questions, she would rudely disrupt us and basically repeat what she had already said. When the class was too quiet, she complained to us about students who suggested the class be more interactive in previous course evaluations and questioned us "how could the class be interactive if you don’t ask anything?" She forgot to record lectures and instead emailed us that she "didn’t have pockets or belts to put the microphone’s base" so she would not record any more.
When a student asked her if we had to rent a class content documentary, she sent out an email in which she compared the price of the documentary with the average price of LA’s cappuccino to prove that we should be able to cover the cost.
Like many of the others who took this class, I did so because of the grade distribution. I did well in this class because, to be honest, this class was pure memorization. Despite that, she had two midterms, and the second was even cumulative. So do think about it if you find the grade distribution attractive but you are not good at memorizing or enduring her rudeness and shady emails.

As did a lot of people in reviews for her other classes, I made an account only to review this professor. She is the actual worst professor I have ever experienced at UCLA by such a large margin it is absurd. She seems angry at all times, rudely snaps at students, and is absolutely the most unhelpful professor to ever set foot on this campus. In the first lecture she made made an extremely rude comment about a student's accent who asked a question in class. She is not even in the field of economics and it is an absolute joke that she's allowed to teach Econ classes here. Her lecture slides are the most useless things on earth and have 4 words that aren't even written in sensible English. She forgot to record multiple lectures and then when asked why stated that she will not be recording lectures or bringing a microphone for in person lectures because she "does not want to wear a belt to hold the microphone stand." Somebody needs to fire her immediately this is the only class at UCLA I have ever taken that has made me honestly lose some respect for the school as a whole. I did fine in it and I'm all for taking a class because it looks easy but im telling you DO NOT take this one.

I took this class during Spring 2020, meaning that everything was entirely online. I took this class as an engineering major who needed to take an upper-div econ class (as part of my sci-tech requirement), but was looking for something easier than the core upper-div econ classes (like 101 or 102). Overall, I found it pretty dull but easy.

The course material for the first few weeks was very uninteresting to me. I had to force myself to pay attention while watching the lectures, and I found it difficult to stay engaged enough to continue taking notes. That said, taking detailed notes really paid off on the midterm.

The lecture slides were helpful but cryptic. The professor mainly just reads off the slides, so towards the end of the quarter I started to just skim the videos at 2x speed rather than watching them thoroughly.

The midterm exam was pretty easy in my opinion. Since it was online, it was open-book, open-notes. I found it easy since I could just search my typed notes for whatever the question was asking for. I ended up finishing it pretty quickly, and got a good score.

Professor Ozler was kind enough to make the final optional due to the difficult circumstances at the time; I chose not to take it, so I can't comment on its difficulty.

Overall, I thought this class was a bit uninteresting, but it was easy to do well in, so if that's what you're looking for, then go for it.

Terrible and rude professor. Once mocked a student for their last name because it was foreign and difficult to pronounce. Also mocked another student for wearing a mask because they were sick. Lecture material is difficult to understand and interpret. Exams are also pretty difficult and are heavily memory-based on trivial things.

One time she also walked into class just to cancel it entirely. Bizarre woman.

Professor Ozler does not demonstrate genuine concern for student learning. During multiple separate class lectures, she would speed through up to four separate powerpoint slideshows. Even as a student who downloads the slides in advance and takes notes on the slides, I am unable to keep up with her pace on my ipad or laptop. I would imagine taking notes in a paper notebook would be impossible. Aside from not pacing the material for students to digest, every time we watch a documentary in class, she presses play and leaves. I understand she has seen the video more than enough times, but how is a student supposed to be encouraged to learn if even the professor doesn't want to stay and watch. Sometimes when being asked questions, Professor Ozler would give a bit of sass in her response, which can be very discouraging for students.
