Spring 2018 - Professor Nasiali's lectures are multi-dimensional in terms of history, politics, culture and economics, entertaining and she does a great job of connecting modern French history to today's political and cultural environment. Her class mainly focuses on the political development of modern France at the beginning of the Third Republic and goes into the early 2000's. She encourages students to engage with questions throughout the lectures which are usually short. Once a week, participation will be graded by a group write-up of a primary source document assigned for the week which are not difficult. She remembers everyone's name and face, so constant attendance and participation are helpful. She also offers extra credit and encourages attendance to office hours. Overall, this is one of the easier classes I've taken at UCLA and would highly recommend it for the interesting material and great professor.

Winter 2019 - Professor Nasiali is by far my favorite teacher at UCLA! Her midterms and finals were both take-home papers, which relieved a lot of the stress of them being in-class, and as long as you attended class, it would be difficult to do poorly. She is extremely engaging and I truly looked forward to attending her class each week. The readings are not overwhelming for the class, and although a couple of them were a bit difficult to understand, as long as you get the gist of them, you'll do just fine.

Winter 2022 - Professor Nasiali is an amazing lecturer and a wonderful person. She always comes to the class with a positive energy which is infectious. Her lecturing style is extremely engaging, and the classes are always so informative and multi-dimensional. The readings she assigns are very interesting and well connected. This class will definitely increase your analytical skills. If you go to her office hours to go over your assignments, your writing will improve SO MUCH! I cannot stress this enough. Her feedback is extremely helpful and constructive; I owe a lot to her. She is really encouraging, understanding, and the nicest person ever. She is one of the best professors at UCLA, so do yourselves a favor and take one her classes.
