tests are worth most of the grade and are insanely hard. TA agreed and its so unreasonable for a comm course. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU DONT HAVE TO.

Super knowledgeable. He made theories actually seem interesting, and his background in comm academia provided insight that was good to know both in life and for the exams. He provided a ton of test review opportunities and was very engaging in lecture.

Afifi is an amazing professor, my personal favorite at this school, and genuinely cares about his students and his research and wants everyone to succeed. Content of Comm89 is extremely important for POC, very eye-opening, culturally informed teaching.

As a professor he is OK, my only and biggest complaint is his exams were created to fail you. Purposefully makes trick questions with the answers sounding the same. I would go to office hours and stay after class with TA and barely even passed the class. Peng was the best TA fr.
