Winter 2024 - This class was easy, interesting, and had a very light workload. Professor Ribet is super nice, approachable, and open to answering student questions. Lectures were on Zoom only and also recorded and posted on BruinLearn. Attendance was not required, but you could earn 10 points just by going to all of the lectures. There are no tests in this class, and it is all essay-based. There are also no deadlines throughout the quarter except for 11:59 on Friday of Finals week. There are many assignment options, and you can pick and choose which assignments you want to do (you do not have to do every single assignment in this class even to get an A+). Some examples of assignments were short essays on the readings, book reviews, a policy analysis (of any disability rights law in the US), and short reactions to films. Essays typically needed to be a minimum of 800 words. The class averages seemed very high, and most people got a 100% on every assignment. You can also get up to 8 bonus points for submitting assignments earlier on in the quarter. Personally, to get an A+ in the class (which was a minimum of 105 points), I had to do 5 short essays, 1 book review, 1 policy analysis, 5 short film reactions (200 words each), and attend every class to get the 10 attendance points. Overall, this class was super easy and fun, and it's a great class to take if you're pre-law, interested in disability rights, and/or just need an easy A class.

Winter 2025 - This professor led one of the BEST structured online classes I have ever taken. All of her assignments were due at the end of the quarter and it was up to you to chose what grade you wanted by accumulating the minimum amount of assignment points that would be assigned to each grade. Only downside was you had to attend lectures through zoom but she kept them light, showed movies, and was very passionate and understanding regarding the circumstances of being a college student. She just wanted to teach her subject and did a great job at it.
