Best professor! Lecture was organized. There was no final or midterm, just two papers to write.
This class is very easy and actually super cool. The material is relatively interesting and a lot of the stories you learn about actually evolved to the children's stories we know now which is pretty cool. Papers were graded relatively easily.
Easiest class at UCLA. 80% of our grades was from ten multiple-choice tests that were super easy and online, and there were two papers, both very short, and graded very leniently.
The class was easy but also super interesting. The coursework for this class is light, it consisted of a discussion post and quiz each week.
