Quarter: Spring 2023

Literally my favorite class that I've taken at UCLA. A bit of history, a bit of time travel, a bit of reading. Each week is a different topic in time travel. The class mainly revolves around looking at various written works that include some type of time travel, and discussing why the author used time travel as a device in that narrative. Stories are in all different languages, all different genres. I honestly just skimmed the stories occasionally or before a test and was totally fine. Professor Cooperson usually gives a run-down of the story before you have to read it and tells you most of what you need to know. His lectures are super engaging. You can tell he's interested in the topic and is super knowledgeable and friendly. (The final was scheduled for 8 am but he let us come at any time between 8-11 to take it since it would only take 25 min, and he had coffee there for us as well. Super kind.) There's 4 quizzes in the quarter, they're each 10 q and not too bad. DEF take this if you need a lit GE. Super chill. I honestly didn't really even study for the final cuz the 4 quizzes already covered most of it, and I did well. I did pay attention in class tho, which is kinda all you need, but that wasn't hard 'cause it was super fun to learn about.

This class was very straightforward and not super difficult as long as you went to lecture and read the readings (I stopped doing them halfway through because I got lazy). His quizzes aren't super hard, but you definitely have to pay attention during the lectures if you want to do well. I enrolled in this class seeing that it had high reviews on Bruinwalk, but in the end I was super disappointed. In my opinion, the material just isn't super interesting and my biggest takeaway from the class is that with a few exceptions, Time Travel as a genre of literature is very mid. Take that with a grain of salt though because I'm an engineering major, and I'm sure some other people in the class enjoyed it a lot more than me.

This is an easy GE class to take for literary analysis. There are four quizzes, two short presentations, a final and a final presentation. The quizzes are super easy, each just ten questions just to make sure you've done the readings and gone to lecture and he gives practices quizzes before each one. The presentations are recorded and max of 2 minutes, analyzing a reading. The final is the easiest exam you will ever take. About half are question from past quizzes, the others are just as easy.
The lectures are fairly engaging, they just feel long. Professor Cooperson is very sweet and a really nice person.
If you are on the waitlist for this class, assume you will get in. If people don't drop the class, Cooperson will give out PTE numbers.
