Explores how contemporary environmental, economic, social, and technological changes influence CSR and are affected by interpersonal, stakeholder, organizational, inter-organizational and media communication dynamics.

COMM169 . Stohl C 1 Year, 10 Months Ago

Prof Stohl is one of the best in the Comm department. She knows what she is talking about and has a straightforward, stern but also friendly attitude. The class is going to be tough but it's worth it to put in the work.

COMM131 . Stohl C 2 Years Ago

No final which was nice but 2 exams both worth 40% of our grade (one was given during Thanksgiving week which was annoying). Lots of backhanded comments and was not nice to our TA who was such a sweet guy. Knows a lot about her field and is very respected in the communication world.

131 . Stohl C 2 Years Ago

She is so brilliant and knows so much about her field. I took 175 Gig Work with her and she made the class a breeze and still kept it insanely interesting and applicable. Each assignment was just building up to our final paper- no tests. By the time the essay was due, I had it half finished. Do yourself a favor and take a class of hers!

My favorite professor at UCSB! She really cares about students and is so interested in what she teaches. This course focuses on organizational communication in the global context. There isn't much theory, but rather real-life relevancy. Weekly assignments are based on applying concepts to a multinational organization. There lots of extra credit!

Professor Stohl is super nice and caring. The weekly assignments aren't bad, they are just busy work. Can be graded somewhat harshly, but she provides a lot of feedback that is helpful.

Absolutely the best professor I have ever had! Intriguing class lectures and really cares about her students. She drove me further in my career path and even helped me with grad school applications! You're missing out if you do not take her!
