I took the GE Cluster and I am still taking it and from my experience so far... I can't really tell you whether or not to take it. At times it is boring and at times it sparks interest. You learn some useful things like social policy in the class and there are guest lecturers that are interesting to listen to. However, the class is hard. Their tests are done awkwardly and are not what you'd expect based on what they've told you to study. The highest grade in the class from what I've heard overall was an A- so expect your GPA's to not be anywhere near a 4.0 if you take this class. Also, they grade essays extremely hard. It's an okay class.

I took the Human Aging cluster, and although she only teaches about a third of the class, I would definitely not take this class. I dropped out after the first quarter. There are only two exams that are graded on a curve, but they were pretty difficult and the average was about a 70%. And they don't exactly mention in the course description that the next quarter you will be required to volunteer at an old persons home or something like it which takes up 5 hours once a week. And then the next quarter there is a research paper. So although your writing 2 will be done, it's a lot of work for a pretty boring and difficult topic.
