Chill and cool professor.

My favorite professor at UCSB. Linz cares about his students and wants them to succeed in class and outside of class. He does contract grading so if you put it an effort and submit all your assignments you will get an A.

The best Communication professor at UCSB. We need more professor like him who genuinely care for their student's wellbeing and education. If I could I'd take all of my Communication classes with him. He is one of a kind and deserves all the respect. He is extremely passionate to what he teaches which is very important to keeping students engaged!!!

Amazing professor. Wish I had was able to take more courses with him. He has contract grading so as long as you do the assignments and put in your best and honest effort, you'll get an A. No quizzes or tests, just a few papers and in-class discussions. I learned best with this method of teaching!

He's the coolest but at the same time unorganized prof I've had. If you talk to him about the material and show interest in it he really values it. He's more interested in critical thinking than you memorizing things for points.

Linz is amazing! Took this class over the summer and we had small (usually 1 or 2 pages) papers due every week based on readings and he was a VERY easy grader. Posted his asynch lectures and had live discussions twice a week. It's obvious he's passionate about his teaching and wants his students to succeed. Definitely recommend taking his class!
