Take this course. Insanely easy, I took notes and they were not even needed. But don’t interpret that as an insult — this course is fascinating and will make you double take much of US History. My TA, Nidia, was fantastic at engaging us and giving us a break from the heyday of UCLA life. Do not miss out on this wonderful class.

LOVED IT!! It was such a relief taking this class with myself being a biology major. There’s was only 3 assignments ( midterm, final , assignment) the midterm and final were both creative projects with short essays ( m: 400 f:650) . Personally I never did the readings and did good on everything .

Engaging, clear, complicated this class changed my life and made me consider a Chicano minor.
the people of this discipline are the most kind and understanding ones you will find in academia!!! I learned so much!!!

I really loved this class! I have never taken any classes that were about my OWN history before and it was great. She taught me more about my own culture's history than I would have learned in all my other history classes combined. She issues a lot of reading but it is interesting information. You can honestly just skim and get key quotes for the projects. NO TESTS. AT ALL. Just go to discussions and lectures and do the projects. She is also writing a book and she is so passionate about the subject.

Easiest GE ever! Highly recommend taking this class if you can. There are no tests/quizzes, all assignments are creative projects with small written portions. Andrea... hands-down best TA I have ever had! If you have her as your TA, you're lucky!

Took this class as a GE. Super easy class, no tests at all. We only really had three assignments the entire quarter, all involving a creative part and a really short written part. I had Kevin Kandamby as my TA, he was very kind, helpful, and lenient. Probably the easiest class at UCLA, and an interesting one at that. Would highly recommend!

This was a super easy and interesting GE. There were no test or quizzes just two creative projects, a presentation and a short paper which she ended up cancelling. Alma is passionate about what she teaches and keeps class interesting. I would take another class from her and would recommend this class to anyone looking to fill a GE.
