Fall 2020 - I don't know why everyone gave such a high rating for this class. I personally think the workload for this class is not light. We have 3-4 short lectures, about 50+ pages of reading, 2-3 reading quizzes, 2 discussion posts, and sometimes an essay homework EACH WEEK. This is a lot. Also, the reading quizzed are timed to be 5 mins, so even if she says "open book quizzes", there is absolutely no time for you to search through the book. The exams are also somewhat hard. Also, if you are someone that is a little socially awkward, this class has many group discussions and group homework that makes you super awkward. Anyways, the professor is clear in her lectures, but I just don't like this class overall.

Spring 2022 - Collett is an AMAZING professor who provides a ton of examples, which makes the lectures engaging and applicable to your personal life. I learned so much in this course and truly enjoyed going to class. Grades are divided between section participation, class iClicker quizzes/participation (lowest 5 you get to drop), a midterm and final and a very brief 2-3 page paper relating the course concepts to your own life. You have to read the textbook to do well on the exams and iClicker quizzes, but the readings are quite short. Collett is a VERY engaging, understanding professor and I am so glad I got to be her student. Honestly the best course I’ve taken at UCLA.

Fall 2022 - This is a great course to take if you're seeking internship credit. There are no classes, just 5 bi-weekly meetings with a graduate student instructor. The graduate student is the one who will be evaluating your work. Each week there are 1-2 readings, and you're required to do a write-up each week on the readings. Your write-ups require you to incorporate elements from the reading to your internship site, and each week you begin to write components of your final paper. Because of this, you end up having most of your final paper completed by week 9 which makes completing it fairly easy. You need to conduct one interview with someone from your internship site and incorporate the interview into your final essay. As long as you do the readings each week and come up with a solid topic for your paper, you're baically guaranteed an A.
