DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS, no matter u r international student or native student. This class sucks because all the three professors are boring and devoted little to students. All of them do not take responsibility for students. Additionally, avoid TA TEHRANI Zahrat, she is really strict and never smiles, and she will give you a really low score on paper even if you didn't staple it.

Winter 2016 - Great professor, went a little fast at times but overall the class was not hard, everybody did well. However I was not interested in the class at all so sometimes lecture was a bit rough but overall it's a good class that got rid of a lot of ge's, gave honors credit and the diversity requirement

Dr. Effros is one of the professors for GE Cluster on human aging. She mostly covers the biology related lectures since she specializes in pathology & immunology. Dr. Effros is really passionate about what she teaches, but she can be a little bit on the dry side. She is also a pretty lenient grader. I find her really easy to approach, and find her genuinely concerned about her students. I took her seminar (spring quarter) on immunology & aging, which I found very interesting as a pre-med student. It can be a little challenging for non-life science students, though. For the cluster in general, *it's really important to do well on the "midterms", which contains a lot of fact based questions from lecture. GO TAKE GOOD NOTES IN LECTURE. *your paper grades totally depend on your TA. My TA graded me down just because I didn't have the proper APA citation. so read the rubric carefully and cite correctly! overall, it was a good cluster imo. Not as hard as the other ones, and fairly interesting if you are interested in health-related issues in general. good luck!
