I took this class during Spring 2020, meaning that everything was entirely online. I took this class as an engineering major who needed to take an upper-div econ class (as part of my sci-tech requirement), but was looking for something easier than the core upper-div econ classes (like 101 or 102). Overall, I found it pretty dull but easy.

The course material for the first few weeks was very uninteresting to me. I had to force myself to pay attention while watching the lectures, and I found it difficult to stay engaged enough to continue taking notes. That said, taking detailed notes really paid off on the midterm.

The lecture slides were helpful but cryptic. The professor mainly just reads off the slides, so towards the end of the quarter I started to just skim the videos at 2x speed rather than watching them thoroughly.

The midterm exam was pretty easy in my opinion. Since it was online, it was open-book, open-notes. I found it easy since I could just search my typed notes for whatever the question was asking for. I ended up finishing it pretty quickly, and got a good score.

Professor Ozler was kind enough to make the final optional due to the difficult circumstances at the time; I chose not to take it, so I can't comment on its difficulty.

Overall, I thought this class was a bit uninteresting, but it was easy to do well in, so if that's what you're looking for, then go for it.

As did a lot of people in reviews for her other classes, I made an account only to review this professor. She is the actual worst professor I have ever experienced at UCLA by such a large margin it is absurd. She seems angry at all times, rudely snaps at students, and is absolutely the most unhelpful professor to ever set foot on this campus. In the first lecture she made made an extremely rude comment about a student's accent who asked a question in class. She is not even in the field of economics and it is an absolute joke that she's allowed to teach Econ classes here. Her lecture slides are the most useless things on earth and have 4 words that aren't even written in sensible English. She forgot to record multiple lectures and then when asked why stated that she will not be recording lectures or bringing a microphone for in person lectures because she "does not want to wear a belt to hold the microphone stand." Somebody needs to fire her immediately this is the only class at UCLA I have ever taken that has made me honestly lose some respect for the school as a whole. I did fine in it and I'm all for taking a class because it looks easy but im telling you DO NOT take this one.
