Ballerini is the greatest! His lectures are hilarious, i actually hated missing class because each lecture was filled with some interesting information and an hour plus of jokes. he made jokes whenever possible and always tried to keep you awake during lecture. discussion quizzes are a joke...there is one paper which could be on a topic of your choice, and the exams are straight out of lecture...the only catch is that there is some boring readings..but if you get through that (which is really easy) then you will undoubtedly enjoy the class. you are missing out if you don't take prof. ballerini...

Spring 2017 - Pretty decently easy GE class. Discussion participation is part of your grade - you get 4 quizzes in lieu of a midterm, 2 papers, and a final. Readings are so important!! It's so hard to bullshit the quizzes if you haven't 75% of the things you get in the quizzes, but as long as you've read and gone to section you'll do fine. Material is not hard, mostly a memorization based class. Selling my Course Reader + all necessary books (The Prince, The Donation of Constantine) + final notes + completed and graded quizzes (got full marks) for $60 OBO!! Almost perfect condition for physical books. Text me **********

I took professor tognozzi for the travel study program in florence. she was absolutely AMAZING!!!!!! definately one of the best professors i have had at UCLA. her lectures were interesting and funny, despite the fact that they were 3 hours. the tests were straight forward and she always gives partial credit, i got an easy A.
