Fall 2017 - Do not take this class, I believed the positive reviews for this professor and took this class. This is one of my worst class I had in UCLA. The professor couldn't organize all her materials for class, and three of her TAs were always have different options about the assignments of this class, and the TA named Ryland Lu did not even understand the course materials when I ask him the question from class. This class has two field trips and you have to write two reports regard to the trip, but the professor and TAs always have different opinions about the requirements of the reports. Some of them will tells you to add photos and video in the word document, some of them will tells you to add the photos in wiki(ccle), and some of them will tells you to do whatever you like. They are extremely annoying because they will send you 10-15 emails in a week to repeat same thing, sometimes you will get 5 emails in half hour from the professor. The professor is a mess, do not take this class.

This class surprised me in a number of ways, the first of them being that it seems the least related to Geography of any of the Geography courses I've taken here. But even as May dove into a lot of philosophy and politics, the class remained interesting throughout. May is a great professor--he's brilliant, young and very easy to talk to in office hours, which I recommend going to. While the material for the class can seem a bit scattered and confusing at times, it somehow all pulls together at the end and you finish the final feeling like you learned something useful and relevant.
