Honors 165 was a great class! By far one of my top 5 classes at UCLA. Professor Galateanu brought insight to real life in south-eastern Europe. The added history focus was also refreshing because women's studies lacks "history of women classes" to date. Moreover, the literature we read for class was unique, interesting, and brought me to countries I've never been before and now want to visit. I appreciated this class very much and have wonderful memory of Professor Galateanu. Thus, I hope to cross paths with her again...

Prof. Galateanu is the sweetest professor I have encountered! She genuinely cares about her students' well-being as well as them learning the material. There is quite a bit of reading and I'm not going to lie that I was a little disappointed with how much the course focused on history instead of what I thought was going to be literature. her lectures were sometimes a bit boring, but she would often add personal anecdotes that were not only insightful but also emotional and gave meaning to the course. I would definitely recommend HNRS 165 or any course taught by Galateanu for that matter because she is nice, a fairly good lecturer, and easy!
