    Quarter Taken: Spring 2022 In-Person
    Grade: A+

    I absolutely loved this class and hands-down it was one of my favorite classes I've taken at UCLA. You basically read comics every week, complete a chill assignment before each lecture, and then create your own comic project at the end of the quarter. Most of the comics were actually pretty enjoyable to read and highly recommend if you want to take for a GE or just fun :D
