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 LOVED this class. I took Pol 12 and Prof Bimber did a fantastic job. He's a great lecturer and organized presenter. Lecture flew by. There's lots of reading for this class, but the content's interesting so I didn't mind. Highly recommend!

Loved this class! You have to put in the work for an A and there is a lot of reading every week, but the content of the class was super interesting. I really enjoyed Professor Bimber's lectures! Take good notes in lecture, it will help for the tests. 3 easy writing assignments, 2 midterms and 1 final. The TAs were also great and super helpful.
