Winter 2022 - The seminar I took was called UCLA Architecture and History of Westwood. If Professor Gurval ever leads this fiat lux again in the future TAKE IT!!!! The seminar consists of weekly one hour walking tours of campus and you learn about different architecture on campus and about the history of the campus. The first 5 weeks consisted of walking tours led by the professor but starting in week 6, the tours began to be led by students in groups of 1 or 2. In order to pass you need to attend all meetings (i believe you can skip 1 if you have a valid reason), lead 1 tour on a building or campus site of your choice (maximum 20 minutes), and submit an outline and a 10 slide powerpoint about your presentation. Overall this fiat lux was very interesting and super manageable and chill. I would take this fiat lux again in a heartbeat if i could.

Fall 2020 - The class I took was called Classics, Western Civilization, and White Supremacy: History of Complicity. It was really great and eye-opening with great readings and discussions. The workload was super light but we engaged deeply with the topic. Vazquez is super friendly, engaging, and understanding.
