(also took 171b)

Professor Bawn is one of my favorite professors that I have taken at UCLA hands down!! Her lectures are very clear and easy to follow. She breaks it down in a fun and interesting to way as well! PS 30 was my first poli sci class and a great introduction! I came out of it feeling highly proficient in the topic and loved it. Because I had such a wonderful experience in her class, I took her again for 171 b. This class was slightly more challenging, as an upper-div should be, but it was still easy to follow along due to her great teaching skills. It was a very interesting and cool class. She is very kind, approachable and genuinely wants everyone to do well and learn something. I would highly recommend taking her classes and getting to know her. I feel very blessed to have had her as my Professor!

Professor Bawn is the worst Poli Sci professor that I have had in 3 years. Her lectures did not go with what the TA's were teaching in sections. She made some big speech about how she would help anyone that came into see her, but when I went into her office hours she was extremely hostile and dismissive. My midterm was misgraded and I had to send multiple emails for the grade to be changed from a C to an A-. I asked to see my final exam because I thought the same thing might have happened, but Professor Bawn would not allow me to see it. I received a B+ and I think its because my final was misgraded just like my midterm. Absolutely terrible professor, and my biggest regret as a poli sci major is that I took this course with her.
