Winter 2022 - I would not take this course with this professor again. Professor Zaller has to be one of my least favorite professors at UCLA due to his sarcastic remarks toward students and his paranoid attitude on whether or not the material he is giving us challenging enough. It always feels like you are being talked down to as a student by Zaller. He makes quizzes based on the required readings a lot more complex than needed. Questions on quizzes are confusing sometimes and not straight to the point. Lectures always feels like he is rambling instead of be concise of what is the important points to take away. I do not recommend taking this professor, avoid if possible.
