Fall 2016 - The course is fun but a challenge, it's doable. The cluster is taught by professors from the subjects: sciences but also humanities. It was a lot of fun. Make sure to form a study group, they help a lot. It's a good intro to life here at UCLA. I am selling the course textbooks for cheap; the price is negotiable. text me at 323-447-9509

I agree that he can be incredibly cranky. He really dislikes questions that are thinly veiled attempts to determine the content of the exam. He is not fond of academic prima donnas who expect an A and aren't afraid to let him know it. My impression is that he has little patience for interactions that indicate more concern for the letter grade than for learning the material. Avoid these transgressions and you should do OK with him. Do NOT take his crabbiness personally. Having said all that, I thought he was one of the best professors I've had at UCLA. His lectures were excellent and made a difficult topic very clear. He was by no means "easy", but he gave us all of the tools we needed to learn the material. He answered questions posted to the webpage promptly and thoroughly. Exam questions were sometimes difficult, but straightforward. Hard work in this class really pays off.

I seriously love this guy. He is by far the best professor I have had at UCLA. His profound knowledge in the field of neuroscience coupled with his engaging teaching abilities made this class worth my time, to say the least. I came into the class dreading it, since I am north campus, but left with a great appreciation for the study of the mind and neurological diseases. He may be intimidating at first, but Dr. Levine is honestly one of the nicest professors I have ever met. I honestly loved this class! It's not the easiest G.E. but you definitely learn a lot.
