The teacher of this class is one of my favorites I have had at UCLA. The class is a great place for discussion. I have found that I learn a lot but I am brought no stress from this class. I genuinely look forward to going and learning the material

This class is easy, but it's a lot of busy work.
You'll have to do journals, 3 pages each, 12 journals total over the whole quarter, but prof requires Arial 14-pt font so it's easy.

You'll do one debate. it isn't that bad, work with your partner and it'll be fine. you can reference his other debates on the same exact topic on youtube if you get lost. you'll basically spend 4+ weeks in this class watching debates and writing a couple sentences on who you thought won and why on ccle.

The class size is small so you get to know everyone, which takes away the pressure of talking in front of everyone.

Midterm and final are 10% and the answers can always be found in the online textbook that he provides for free on ccle. they're take home.

2 speeches towards the end of the quarter, like 2 mins. easy. basically on what you learned.

overall, would take again, is a GPA booster, gives out extra credit a lot, curves the class, just a lot of busy work esp. towards the end of the quarter, but a ton of it you can do early and not worry about it again.
