DH 101 is a very fun class. The course goes over gathering, cleaning, parsing, and visualizing data but never gets too technical. Discussions are mandatory, and you work on a team project analyzing a dataset and presenting a website at the end of the quarter. Grading is very TA dependent but I think is ultimately averaged out across the class. Final was free answer paragraphs to questions covered in lecture. All of the possible final questions were provided beforehand and a subset of those were randomly selected to be on the test, so you could pretty easily prepare your answers ahead of time.

Prof Sanders-Garcia is super knowledgeable about digital humanities and can tell you all about the various DH research opportunities at UCLA. Definitely don't be afraid to go to office hours!

Group project based class. Professor is very organized and cares about student learning, assignments throughout the quarter help build up the final project

Your grade is very dependent on your group project, so if you have a solid group, then you'll be fine. The workload isn't bad, and is mostly graded on completion. Even as a 6 week class, this was manageable.

Amazing professor, very sweet and interesting content. There is a final project that you basically work on throughout the quarter, as well as a few discussion posts and individual assignments that aren't too bad.

Attendance was not required for lectures but it was helpful meeting with your group each week during lab. Assignments were components of the group project. There were a couple of discussion posts throughout the quarter too.
