I am a third year at UCLA, and without reservations I would recommend Professor Lemelson to my friends because I think he must be the best professor I have had at this university. He was effective as a a teacher because I was engaged in everything his class offered, including lectures and reading materials. He was concerned about my personal growth and learning because he encouraged to write about something significant to me, instead of taking the safe way out (and analyze Freud, for example). He guided me to write one of the best papers in my life, and I am quite proud of it. Lastly, Professor Lemelson class was small, and he made accomodations to be available outside of the classroom for me. My experience in Anthropology 135A is what all of the college, academic experience should be like.

I love anthropology but don't really care too much for psychology. (Anthro 137 = Anthropology of Psychological Pathology). Dr. Lemelson is by far one of the very best instructors at UCLA. He knows about many subjects (including what he teaches you) down to the very pin point. Any question you ask him, he'll have an answer. I LOVED THIS CLASS. I highly recommend taking him.

Spring 2021 - So, this was an interesting class in that it was not like your traditional course with instruction, quizzes, and exams. The course was more geared around class discussions on various topics which I found very relevant and interesting. He assigns biweeklies, readings, one film review (or deep dive essay pertinent to the readings) as a midterm, and a final paper. If you’re looking for a super easy class this is not it! But if you want to learn and be intellectually stimulated this is the class for you. He’s also very approachable and I felt like he honestly cared to help us when we had questions and concerns. I would definitely recommend this class.
