Professor Dover is one of the worst professors I've encountered at UCLA. She is abysmally and hopelessly lost as an academic. Her lectures are disorganized and plagued with technical issues. She is easily flustered and fails to teach in an engaging way. Her lack of preparation makes her lectures incredibly difficult to follow and her class a pain to attend. She treats the course as an opportunity to rant and follows no apparent structure. She spends most of the course discussing each component of the Republic, but fails to ever say anything substantial.

Professor Dover is very passionate about her work. She is just incredibly boring to the point that I found it difficult to keep my eyes open. As long as you do the reading and at least half listen in lecture and discussion sections you will do fine in the class.

Easily one of the worst professors at UCLA. Not quite sure how this woman got hired. Extremely disorganized and showed up to late to EVERY lecture... seriously. Sends out nasty emails 24/7 trying to legitimize the class and make all the students feel guilty that they aren't doing enough work. Alternatively, the class is a joke, and her psychology to make students take it seriously is quite transparent and pathetic. Easy A, take it but dont show up, no point.

Philosophy 6 with Dover is one of those classes that you neither love nor hate. 90% of her class consists of reading Plato's The Republic, which definitely takes some getting used to. There is basically no hw, except for a few sporadic assignments here and there. Sparknotes is your best friend in the class. Midterms are both easy, final paper is interesting (create your own utopia). There is no final as well, which is a big plus.
