Professor Houston is my favorite professor at UCSB. She is so caring and truly wants her students to succeed. I cannot recommend this class enough- I have taken her back-to-back quarters and her class never disappoints!

Professor Houston cares deeply for her students and is an all-around great person. The class lectures are typically engaging, but it depends on whether your class feels like participating or burying their head in their laptops. Highly recommend taking COMM 160OD or 168, they are both great classes.

Prof. is a great speaker and clearly passionate. Attendance really matters. Midterm was a bit tricky, but the papers balance the course out. The material isn't too challenging. Super interesting and relevant course.

Good professor, just a lot of busy work throughout the week. Every week we had two discussion posts, one midterm, a paper mid quarter and a huge paper as the final. Really interesting class, just be prepared for a ton of readings and discussions.

Super nice. Seems like she cares. Slides are just a repeat of the readings, you don't learning anything in class, but you she has iclicker attendance so you must be there. Assigns an unreal amount of busy work. Like unreal amount. Would strongly avoid taking this class. Wish I didn't
