I took Iranian 103A and 103B with Professor Ingenito. He is probably one of the most knowledgeable professors in the department. He is extremely lenient and caring. He always encourage students to come to his office hours. For lectures, he goes over meaning, grammar of the poems. There are some weekly reports which are easy. The class consisted of two exams which is translation of poem to English or modern Persian and it was from poems that we had gone over in the class. You don't need textbook for this class. I recommend taking his class. He is one of my favorite professor at UCLA.
