Best professor I've had in the field of Communication. Lectures were perfectly explained with detailed information where I found the exams less difficult (open notes).

Prof. Merolla is an AMAZING lecturer, path to an A is clear in this class. exams were all MCQ and very fair, he curves and drops questions, one big theory paper that was worked on throughout the quarter. super engaging lectures, some flipped lectures, can't recommend him enough, great content, opened my eyes to the field of comms.

Best professor ever!! He is so entertaining and upbeat! Definitely cares about all of his students and wants to see them do well. I did not feel overloaded with work in this class and was excited to go to lecture everyday. One 6-7 page paper due at end of quarter, but super easy. Very easy to do well if you attend class!

Hands down the best professor I've ever had. I took him for both COMM 88 and 89 and would absolutely take his class again. Study well for the tests but I seriously have no complaints about his classes. Visit office hours, he's a yapper and loves to talk to students. He's so passionate about the field of communication and lectures show that

Loved taking this class with Merolla, he was clear on what needed to be done and was an amazing lecturer. Class was never boring but the TA's are not that great. Definitely recommend this professor.

If you are a comm major you should definitely take a class with Professor Merolla, he has a really insightful and clear view on communication as a field of study and he's a great teacher. Straightforward lectures and assignments, three online exams that are easy to do well on if you take notes.
