Winter 2021 - Professor Sengul's lectures were very dense and hard to understand. I know other students would make comments about her accent and stuttering but imo that's very ableist and it was never a problem for me. However, she assigned very long and convoluted readings, and because her lectures were so hard to understand, they weren't great. I stopped going to her lectures after her third lecture during fall quarter. She's very very knowledgeable and that's evident through her lectures and everything else but she also speaks very fast during lectures and that makes it hard to understand what she is saying or even to grasp what she wants to convey to students. I respect her a lot and she is a very nice person but I did not enjoy her lectures at all. The other lecturers and TAs in the course are amazing, though, and that made this class my favourite during my first two quarters at UCLA. I would 100% recommend it.

Winter 2019 - DO NOT TAKE I had to stay in the class because literally everything else was full I checked every department to get out of this class but nothing was open. She will shut you down if you ask questions, she has too many thoughts going on and tries to explain them all at once and you are left just wondering what she is talking about. I literally could not understand what she was saying it was so frustrating. Take this class if you are ready to teach yourself everything and the readings she assigns are heavy and LONG. Avoid if you can
