Collegedoesn't post her slides or any notes online, and really doesn't emphasize what you need to know for tests. This class is not like other comm classes at UCSB and the majority of exam questions were on small lecture points one really wouldn't expect to see. definitely take another comm class if you have the option
Dont get me wrong Kams lecture are very engaging and informative. However, the study guide material is not proportional to the test questions. Very confusing - questions are asked from minuscule information from the textbook and journal articles she puts on gauchospace. Just avoid this class if you are trying to get in the A range.
After taking her 107 class, Kam is my favorite Comm professor at UCSB hands down. She is kind, funny, and ORGANIZED! Her tests are to the point and if you've read and paid attention to lecture you will do fine. Readings are reasonable. Lecture is interesting. She provides tons of current examples that are relatable. Overall she is so great!
I took her 107 class this past summer. It was a 3 week course so a lot of material she generally covers was left out. I enjoyed her lecturing. She really wants the class to participate ... as they should! I would take her again. We had 1 midterm and a final. Had an extra credit option too!
Awesome professor. Really good lecturer. Definitely recommended for any upper division comm class
Very well-spoken, knowledgeable, and passionate about the topic she teaches. Shes very open-minded and creates a good learning environment. I took her in the summer and was worried about getting bored during a 3 hour lecture, but she does well to keep things interesting and engaging. She's a good lecturer. Take her!
