Fall 2025 - Dr. Ko is a very nice person, I very much enjoyed going to lecture. However, her teaching is extremely fast paced and hard to follow. Understandably so, there is definitely a lot of content in this course. The discussions are absolutely horrendous the TA is instructed to "lead you in the right direction". They answer your question with another question. This is frustrating because you are actually graded on accuracy in discussion. The in-class lecture pod assignments are graded by completion. Pre-class assignments are just "busy work" and you don't necessarily need to go over the entire chapter, just filling out the page is the most it will benefit you.

Fall 2023 - Dr. Ko is in my top 2 most amazing professors I've taken at UCLA, she is so sweet and her lectures are organized so logically and beautifully. I never walked out of lecture confused because she's just so good at explaining. The grading and midterms were also super reasonable. I love her!!!
