I took the seminar class on the Black Power movement. This is an excellent topic and Dr. Brown has an impressive mastery of the subject. I really enjoyed the class and his insight. I highly recommend taking a class with him. We had to do short weekly assignments, one presentation, and a 10 page paper due on the last day of class. He was clear about what he wanted from us and provided all the primary source material online. We had engaging class discussions, watched videos, and listened to music from the era. He is a very fair grader and gives plenty of feedback. He is very approachable, responsive, and concerned about his students. We need more professors like Dr. Scott Brown at UCLA.

Dr.Brown is a pretty nice guy. The seminar class consisted of weekly assignments (1page long), a presentation, and finally the BIG paper. The cool part was that the research paper for the 99 class was not that big of a deal. All the reasearch was the material that we read throughout the quarter and that material was not in a CR but online so you could just print it out (He didn't want us to spend our $ on course readers).
Overall, he's a pretty understanding person. RECOMMENDED? Definitely. He's really nice and not a bad grader at all! If your looking to take him for the upper division seminars he said that he'll be alittle tougher on you. So Good Luck!
