Karen is really caring, passionate, and knowledgeable about organizational comm! I found doing the textbook readings and thoroughly filling out the study guides and notes (not just filling in the blanks but adding extra details from lectures) will go far! Most of the grade is exam-based so early preparation and attending lectures greatly helped.

She's the best! She got rid of long papers because 'students don't like them.' Lots of little assignments. Some are graded harder than others but you'll know which. You have to go to class because the activities make up a good part of the grade but she doesn't take roll. No group work, doesn't randomly call on people, little reading. She's so nice!

Midterm and final aren't too hard. Theres a 8-10 page paper that isn't hard to do, but depends on the TA. Just be sure to go to class. She is pretty cool. I'd take this over other boring/hard classes.

Prof. Myers is caring and gives great advice about entering the workforce. The grading criteria consists of two MC non-cumulative exams, a $10 online simulation, a paper about UCSB COMM career day, a term paper referring to a news article and research that involve concepts related to the course, and 5 class assignments/quizzes (lowest is dropped).
