Not sure why my honest review keeps being removed, maybe someone is insecure. This class should be avoided at all costs. So many readings/studies are expected to be comprehended at a high level. The section never helped on the exam (readings discussed in section would never be on the exam, so it felt like a total waste of brain space). Merry Xmas!

Prof Bimber's class was truly phenomenal. The class is a challenging graduate-style course, where the midterm and final were a large portion of the grade, largely based on research articles. Bimber is a great lecturer, and the more you put into the class, the more you will get out. Go to office hours, collaborate with friends. It's worth it! 10/10

Good professor overall, but the course is extremely exam-heavy. 60% of your grade comes from just two tests, so messing up on even one puts you in a position where recovering your grade is impossible. lectures are solid professor knows the material, but the grading structure creates a lot of pressure. If you're not a strong test-taker don't take.

Bruce Bimber is a great lecturer, but the class itself is tough. It has a midterm, a quarter-long group project, a final, and section participation. The real issue is the exams; they demand memorizing obscure details, making the course feel like a grad class pretending to be for undergrads. The only good thing was Pierce, the TA. DO NOT TAKE!!!!

I love professor Bimber. His class was so interesting and I learned so much. However, there is a big group project that is weighted heavy, but overall 10/10 class. He is so funny and a great lecturer.

lectures can be a little dry sometimes but he's a sweet guy! wants students to learn and use the content from class. technically the content is not hard to memorize (communication heavy) but there's a ton of readings, homework, and a time-consuming group project. yet bc of that, the final and midterm aren't weighed as heavy as other pols classes
