WAC 33 is a very challenging but rewarding class. This was my first WAC class, and I didn't expect it to be as great as it was! I wish I took it earlier in my undergrad career, because it improved my critical thinking skills and my writing by a lot! If you have the opportunity to take this class, you definitely need to sign up for it! David is an awesome professor; he's funny, entertaining, sarcastic, etc.). I always looked forward to going to class. Also if you need the course materials, I'm selling the course reader and the two required novels. Please email me at wora_iddhi@yahoo.com

disgusting demon of an instructor who gives stinging, discouraging responses when you seek clarification
Thank you for this bullshit of a class. I will now change majors.

WAC 33 was one of those classes you regret while taking it (the workload was pretty intense, especially for me who only took it as a GE) but learn to appreciate its worth after you're done with it. Professor Shorter's lectures always prompted me to rethink the very way I thought and entire systems of what I had been taught. The way I approach the world has been, I can honestly say, affected by the philosophical aspects of the class. Anyone interested in really gaining something from their experience at UCLA should consider taking this class. There was one 10-12 page paper due at the end of the quarter and readings for every week.
