Spring 2021 - One of the best professors at UCLA! He cares for all his students and gives so many accommodations. He is so understanding and is always there for his students. The way he teaches is just amazing and very clear. I love him so much and 1000000000000000% recommend everyone to take his class.

I got a B- on the midterm paper and an A- on the final paper, but I ended up with a C. Confused? if you plan on taking this class make sure you actually go, or have a friend that goes, cause those weekly quizzes will murder you. The answers are usually not in the ppt, she writes on the chalkboard or says them orally. I liked her though, and the class was interesting, maybe because I'm interested in education.

Fall 2018 - Dr. V was one of the most genuine profs I have ever had. She really cares about her students. She realized that books were expensive and so after the first day of class she put all the readings online so we didn't have to buy anything for the class. Her lectures were engaging and she was so helpful with teaching us how to write well. She even had grad students come in and talk to us about grad school. They also gave us their contact info and told us they would help in any way they could. I have never met a prof so genuinely dedicated to her students. She's amazing and so were her TAs. If you get the chance definitely take a class with her she's the best!
