I loved legal communication with Professor Abra it was a really cool class and I learned a ton of cool stuff. Professor Abra is really funny and great at lecturing. Attendance isn't mandatory but he does not post the lecture notes so you should go to class.

Professor Abra is by far one of the best comm professors I have had. He is so incredibly engaging and makes the class content he is teaching fun to learn. His grading criteria and what he expects from his students is very clear. If you do not go to class you wont do well on final or midterm. Readings need to be done. Very funny personality.

Classes are interesting, but he doesn't use slides, and veers off-topic so frequently that it is difficult to tell what is actually important. He didn't finish covering all of the material that was on the midterm, but still tested on it. Exams were multiple choice, final had an essay as well. He likes arguing with his students a little too much.

Dr. Abra is the best professor at UCSB! He is passionate and his classes are very intriguing. His lectures are incredible and he has great research backing up his claims. He is engaging and I like how he does not use powerpoints, but makes it clear what you need to know for the exams. Do the readings for sure and come to class. There's no busy work
