So I came into this class thinking it would be an easy elective and I definitely underestimated it. It is a class that is composed of a midterm and a final (both essays), nothing more, so it is an extremely light workload. However, I would advise anyone taking this to be really meticulous about your essays because I was surprised with how strictly they were graded! Professor Adelman is a really sweet guy and very helpful, but his exams are definitely graded a little strict. If you take this class, just make sure to spend a lot of time really making sure you understand the information because you will not do well in the class if you don't. But overall I think Professor Adelman is a very caring professor and the class is doable if you work hard.

Psych 132A was the first Psych upper-div I took at UCLA, and honestly I really enjoyed it! I don't even remember if we were supposed to do readings or anything because I definitely didn't do any, but I know there wasn't a textbook for the class which was really nice. The biggest thing for this class is showing up to lecture and participating in class. Even though its a big lecture, Professor Adelman really emphasizes talking with your classmates during lecture. He'll stop to ask questions and has everyone take several minutes to discuss in small groups with the people around them. I really liked this aspect because I got to know some of the people in my class instead of just sitting next to strangers who I never talk to all quarter. During lecture he also stops a lot to ask us questions and he'd have students give their thoughts/answers in his little microphone thing which was kinda fun. Overall, I really liked Professor Adelman as a teacher, and I think he has a lot of really good understanding of education and how to promote learning in schools!
Also, there's no homework or anything really. You just have to pay attention and learn the content for the Midterm and Final exam because those are pretty much your whole grade. I know that sounds kinda scary, but they really weren't that bad. Both are entirely essay based and he'll give the class like 5 possible prompts and choose 3 for the exam or something like that. I've taken a bunch of psych classes now, and I still think fondly of this one! The content is really interesting to learn about and it's not too hard. I'd definitely recommend taking this course!
