Winter 2018 - Akhil Gupta's Development Anthropology class was hands down one of the most interesting classes I took in college. His lectures and reading material helped me contextualize international development in a way no other class at UCLA was able to do. Though the multiple choice questions on his tests are worded a little funky, I think if you read the material, you will be able to do well in this class. The curve is also in your favor.
