I would highly recommend her! She is a great lecturer and her topics are very interesting. For this class, it relied on participation, weekly discussion posts, and two essays. Attendance is required, but the topics and her lecturing style makes the class not dreadful (I actually look foreward to going to class). Go to her office hours as well, she is super helpful when it comes to your essays.

This is by far one of my favorite classes I've taken at UCLA. Professor Marino is an incredible professor. Her lectures are interesting and interactive and she is always willing to help in office hours. I would recommend her class to everyone.
