<p>Hey off the bat can any current UCLA students tell me your favorite and least favorite Professors for the lower-division/GE classes you've had. Thanks :)! I'd like to look them up on bruinwalk.com and see what classes they'll be teaching this fall. </p>
<p>I'm a Poli Sci major bytheway, but I have a feeling my classes this quarter won't necessarily have to do with my major. </p>
<p>It'd be nice to spend time in classes where the person giving lectures is somewhat engaging, a non wreckless grader, truly loves what they're talking about, open-minded, and accessible outside of class.</p>
<p>just a thought though, my orientation counselor said that bruinwalk.com isnt very reliable... but thats just her thought. Her name is Megan Matal btw so ya... ask your OC for accuracy of Bruinwalk.com if u want. i didnt bother looking up bruinwalk.com for good profs. i mean if u are stuck with crappy profs but that class is the only one that will fit into ur schedule.. then i guess u just gotta deal with it?!</p>
<p>no student-eval site is totally reliable. But when you have 36 people saying the same bad things about a prof, then you know something is fishy.</p>
<p>The sh1ttiness of Polisci 10 isn't very hard to figure out, even without the student evals. I looked at their syllabii, and they're trying to teach Aristotle, Plato, and some other philosopher crap. I know most people don't like, or understand, this philosophy crap. So it is a bad class.</p>
<p>No offense to the philosophy majors.....</p>
<p>"muhahahahahah" <--- do i sound serious? Come on guys, you're a little slow today.</p>
<p>I wouldn't totally rely on BruinWalk but kevMD is right, if it's almost a consensus that the teacher is horrible, that teacher probably is. I was actually initially enrolled in McClure's Poli Sci 10 class since it was the only Poli Sci class open but that was before I read the reviews. I just don't want to deal with it first quarter of freshmen year. Instead I quickly dropped that class and enrolled in Classics 10. At least that sounds way more interesting.</p>
<p>yeah i did a tad bit of philosophy in high school (well a semester's worth) and i'm hoping that skipping over even more in depth stuff on Machiavelli and Plato etc...won't damage my overall understanding of politics and the basics of it. </p>
<p>I just want to focus on finishing up the other GE's outside of my major.</p>
<p>i was also enrolled in poli sci 10, but then i too saw the reviews and decided i didnt want to deal with a prof like that my very first quarter. instead, i switched around my chem and math discussions so i could enroll in global studies 1 after hearing so many great reviews (including kfc's).</p>
<p>i signed up for polsci 10 at orientation because i need either polsci 10 or 40 to declare my major but i think im goin to drop polsci 10 and take polsci40 in winter (nothing in fall that fits my schedule). Pol Sci 10 is just 3 8-page papers, no tests or finals but i heard its very dificult to get a good grade, and although writing isn't that much of a problem for me, i dont like to write.</p>
