Fall 2024 - I really recommend taking this class for a GE requirement. This was definitely the easiest class I have taken at UCLA, while also being very interesting. Professor Dutton is so kind and remembers everyone by name. He is definitely someone you would feel comfortable asking questions to or having a conversation with. I've always really wanted to visit Southeast Asia, so I was intrigued when I saw this class. There is a writing assignment weekly based on the readings, but it's very easy and only 500 words. There was no midterm, just a final exam and a book report, both of which were pretty easy. The book report does take some time though. Really enjoyed this class!
