Winter 2017 - Learned a lot about Latin America which I was otherwise ignorant before. Really friendly and funny professor. Not a harsh grader at all. Material is engaging and relevant. One of my fav professors at UCLA. Easy A as long as you out the work in which doesn't take that much effort. Many extra credit events to attend which she greatly appreciates and rewards you for. 10/10 recommend this professor and class

IA STD 50 B+ Worst. She is nice. But she was gone for 3 weeks and gave us midterm on week 6 saying "not all the things we covered in the class will be on the midterm." One thing we did do in class a lot was watch documentaries which we were tested on. WTF She is extremely unorganized. Her powerpoints slides are just sad. She didn't even let us know our midterm grades until the final grades came out... so we didn't know how well we did on the midterm until we got our final grade. Don't take any class with Bonnie.

cant say that it was the most interesting class ive taken, but it was definitely one of the most laid back classes i have had. i never really stressed out about it. the material was easy if u just memorize all the slides and slightly pay attention in lecture, mostly to her lectures since the guest lecturers were sometimes boring and we werent as heavily tested on them. this class can either get u a really good grade or a really bad one. dont think its easy enough to just not study because u MUST memorize everything if u want to tackle her test, which isnt hard since the material itself is easy and very understandable. much of it is common sense just talking about poverty and how it affects peoples health. u do need the books because she will ask some questions about specific studies from the books but she will tell you what they are on her study guides..etc.

132 was one of the hardest class to take. I am a neuroscience major taking this class for fun, but the material was downright boring, extensive, and unneccessary. Taub is dry, not funny, and simply needs to retire. AVOID THIS CLASS and take it with another professor. I received a B- in the class
