CollegePersonally I really liked this class. It is a lot of memorization, but if you read his textbook and take notes on any lists he provides in it, that's all you need to know for the tests. I found his lectures very relaxing and interesting because he doesn't throw a ton of information at you. He gives mini assignments in class that are easy. No HW.
Absolute worst teacher I've ever had. AVOID this class. He talks in lectures about the randomest stuff and it doesn't even make sense. Unless you want to be the teacher in this course AVOID. Had to learn the hard way. I would steer away from this course even though it sounds like an interesting class.
Legitimately the WORST professor I have ever had. Maybe the worst teacher I have had in my entire academic career. He was so bad it made me reconsider if college is even worth the money. Boring lectures, hard tests, NO communication, and for being a media literacy class he sure doesn't know how to use canvas or put a subject in an email. HORRIBLE!!
I took COMM 101 with him and it was the absolute worst. He did not stick to the subject of the given lecture and even when he did he was just reading from the textbook and still made no sense. And his exams were written and it was confusing and graded oddly. He also deviated from the syllabus so many times would not take again.
Don't ask questions because he most likely won't answer them. If you go to the bathroom or miss class you're basically done. Do not take this professor!
Potter will stand and talk at you about seemingly unimportant things for a majority of the class period, and slightly sprinkle in elements you are "supposed to know". This man expects you to provide your full attention during every moment of the lecture and does not appear to care whether students are actually understanding the information. Avoid
