Ballerini is the greatest! His lectures are hilarious, i actually hated missing class because each lecture was filled with some interesting information and an hour plus of jokes. he made jokes whenever possible and always tried to keep you awake during lecture. discussion quizzes are a joke...there is one paper which could be on a topic of your choice, and the exams are straight out of lecture...the only catch is that there is some boring readings..but if you get through that (which is really easy) then you will undoubtedly enjoy the class. you are missing out if you don't take prof. ballerini...

Spring 2017 - Easy and fun GE to take. Light readings that don't demand much time. Class has three quizzes for a total of 30%. There are also two essays for a total of 30%. Discussions count for 10%. Final counts for 30%. Exams are quite easy, and essays are graded leniently. Fun lectures with entertaining professor, but not mandatory attendance. Good choice if you want an easy GE for an easy A.

I took professor tognozzi for the travel study program in florence. she was absolutely AMAZING!!!!!! definately one of the best professors i have had at UCLA. her lectures were interesting and funny, despite the fact that they were 3 hours. the tests were straight forward and she always gives partial credit, i got an easy A.
