CollegeAwful. No other word to explain this class. Did not understand half of what he was saying in lecture. Tests are impossible. He does not want you to pass!!!!!!! DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS SAVE YOURSELF!!!! Profesor Reid if you are reading this please retire.
Hardest comm class I've ever taken. The class averages were barely passing on major exams and Professor Reid didn't curve. First day of class he tells us only one person ever has aced one of his exams. The only positive is the papers aren't graded too hard so they do raise your grade.
He made the content super interesting and is a really cool and funny guy. I otherwise probably wouldnt have liked the course that much if it werent for Prof Reid, but the tests are really hard so study
Prof Reid is hilarious and helpful. His lectures are fun and engaging. He does have two challenging research proposals which graded toughly. Discussing with him prior to writing and sending him a rough draft for feedback really saves your grade. Giving extra credit to people who attend lectures if there are less than half of people showed up.
Overall seemed like a decent class, Reid seems nice overall and is professional around students. One red flag for me about Reid was that he mentioned during one lecture that there was a "genocide" against white farmers in South Africa, which a quick internet search disproved. That fact also wasn't part of any course material, which was strange.
TERRIBLE. First off, he's a nice guy. However, communication is not his area of expertise, let alone culture. His notes are all over the place, and its hard to understand what they mean when you look at them outside of lecture. do not take.
