Came into this class thinking it would be incredibly boring, but it ended up being one of my favorite classes last quarter! Probably not the easiest GE, but definitely not terrible. Straightforward and interesting!

GRADING:
20% each test (three total)
20% discussion
20% term paper

TESTS
He gives you a study guide with ~30 terms and 4 essay questions. On the actual tests you'll be given 8 terms and can choose 5 to write about and 2 essay questions to choose one. He lets you know exactly what to expect, which is really nice. Also, they aren't cumulative, which is really nice, because you only have to know a few weeks' worth of material. He's a stickler on dates, though, so you have to know the exact years people reigned or when an event happened. Spend a few days before the test cramming and memorizing those dates and you should be good.

LECTURE
Interesting! Everything he says is important, so I ended up typing the whole time. It's nice, though — keeps you awake! He really knows what he's talking about and the subject matter is pretty interesting.

DISCUSSION
Doesn't cover material covered in lecture, but rather a discussion regarding the assigned readings from primary texts. It's not terrible — probably spent about 3 hours a week max on the readings and you could probably get by with skimming depending on your TA.

PAPER
6-8 pages, due at end of quarter. Not bad.

OVERALL
Lots of memorizing, but nothing too stressful! I would recommend taking this class.

Where do I begin with Phillips? First off, you should know this: this class will either be extremely easy or very difficult, depending on your ability to handle his work. This class itself is structured in a simple manner: 5 assignments each worth 20% of your grade. These assignments are 3 midterms, 1 term paper, and discussion points. The midterms are essentially easy, he gives you a study guide; this Is exactly the test, but as aforementioned, it depends on how well you can study. Personally, I did not like Phillips himself. I went to his office hours and believe me, he does NOT want you there. He consistently told "go to your ta" trying to get me out of his office. If you can handle ample memorization, speaking up in discussions from time to time, and writing one entire essay the quarter, then you have yourself an A. If you cannot handle his tedious lectures with non-stop notes, constant terrible jokes then this class is not for you.

This was probably the easiest class I have ever taken at UCLA. If you are capable of short-term memorization, speaking up a bit in section, and writing a paper that requires very little critical thinking (just a lot of citing), you'll do great. Also, there is no need to buy The Western Experience; frankly, Wikipedia is a comparable source in terms of information and costs nothing to utilize. Phillips himself is an excellent orator, which is nice because nearly everything he says is important for the exams. (He also has command of several ancient languages, which is kind of hot).
