Fall 2026 - Grades in this class are heavily curved (homework, Practice AOLs, attendance, and group AOLs). However, Ko doesn't explain the concepts clearly; she explains most concepts at the speed of light and only through students' questions, meaning she won't clarify confusion until someone points it out. She's chill, and I encourage you to spend time at her office hours. Discussions are also pretty useful :D

Spring 2026 - literally everything in this class is true/false so be careful. the content goes much in depth and the textbooks especially go very in-depth (and honestly more than you need to know for the tests). iclickers are graded on accuracy and discussion sections are definitely a lot more stressful in this class. at the end though there is a pretty nice curve/buffer so i remember i ended with an a instead of an a- (which i was supposed to end with). honestly for this class read the textbook and take notes and check with cpo for past tests because i found that practice tests are really the best way to test your understanding of the content. good luck and congrats for being done with the 7 series!

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!!!
