    Quarter Taken: Winter 2022 In-Person
    Grade: A

    My favorite class I've taken at UCLA! Lectures were always so incredibly interesting and engaging - Prof. Appel is a fantastic public speaker and I learned so much every single class. This was honestly probably the most well-organized class I've taken for my major, and I felt like the content progressed from week to week extremely well. Prof. Appel is also super kind, understanding, and flexible. Highly highly recommend!
