Winter 2016 - this was probably one of the most interesting classes that I've taken. It does require readings everyday for quizzes that werent worth much in discussion, but most of the time I just skimmed over it to get the big idea. There is no homework and the midterm can be substituted with3 field trips that she provides. The final exam was just a final project which took me like a day. I got an A on this class and learned more than I thought it would.

Fall 2016 - This is one of the best classes I've taken at UCLA. If you're looking for an easy A, this is definitely it. It's an interesting class with an engaging professor, and everyone involved is really trying to make you succeed. There's not too much work and if you give yourself the chance you will learn a lot about a very important subject. Great class, definitely recommend! Also: I'm selling the books for this class.
