Professor Blank certainly loves teaching. He's eager to explain and reexplain difficult concepts. He tries very hard to make grading fair, and he's quite possibly the most intelligent professor I've encountered at UCLA. These qualities, along with his quirky sense of humor made for an educational and entertaining quarter of Greek.

Spring 2025 - This class was my fun class, and I definitely had fun taking it. The lectures are interesting, but you have to make sure you are paying attention, if not you will get bored since the what the lecture is about will be out of context. The lecture slides are full of text, so they might not look particularly appealing, but if you have any interest in medicine, the philosophy of medical education, or history, you should definitely take this class. The professor was always grateful for those of us that did show up, since fewer people show over time. I liked the professor and the class very much. Class is made up of four writing assignments. One midterm and final, which are each two short writings responding to prompts. Essay 1 and 2 (separate assignments) are individually one essay regarding the readings from the past few weeks. Make sure to attend lecture, discussion, and do the readings (at least skim them) and you should do well enough.
