    Great prof, easy class (took it online), just doing weekly quizzes which are open book, readings were straight forward and you can skim

    COMM146 . 1 Year, 7 Months Ago

    I enjoyed taking this class during S22! The online format was amazing. Grading was out of 200 points, with 10 quizzes at 10pts each, 2 discussion posts at 3pts each (every week), and a final paper at 40pts. Quizzes were open-book and had an hour time limit. The 3-5 page paper was straightforward. I would recommend this class & professor!

    COMM146 . 2 Years Ago

    An online class shared with all UC campus. The content of deception detection is very intriguing, and Dunbar is really an expert in the field. The pre-recorded lectures are brief and informative. Weekly quiz is simple as long as you watch the lecture. The 3 pages paper is also fairly graded.

    COMM146 . 5 Years Ago

    Deception Comm was so interesting and Dunbar is a great professor! The class was half online and will be entirely online next quarter, which makes it so much easier and less stressful. Just 10 weekly quizzes, 5 group discussion posts, and a short group paper. You can earn 2% extra credit by doing SONA studies. Take this class!
