This course overviews the ways in which emotion has been integrated into the study of media effects, focusing on emotion as a predictor of media selection, as an outcome of media exposure, and as the mechanism by which other media effects occur. Theoretical approaches derived from both traditional and contemporary contexts will be covered, with particular attention to the new digital media landscape.

nabi is kind, an enthusiastic speaker, knowledgeable, and good at answering questions. no homework ever. expected to read the textbook but i got an A without ever opening it. show up to lecture, take good lecture notes, go to office hours, and you'll do well. plus, she gave us all extra credit and weighted whichever exam we did better on higher!

Grade consists of Midterm, Final, Essay, and Social Media Assignment. Midterm and Final was difficult, a cheat sheet was allowed. Attendance not mandatory but I wouldn't take her class again and I did not know my final grade until grades were posted on gold because canvas was not updated the whole quarter.

I find it hard to pay close attention in lectures because the course material simply does not interest me...Nice lady but I believe this class could be far more interesting and engaging than what it is. Kinda painful.

An absolute gem of a professor! Super personable, helpful, and engaging. Uses a lot of useful examples in lecture that aren't in the slides, so I recommend including them in your notes. Exams are a bit difficult, but are open-note with a study guide provided so if you do your due diligence you'll be fine!

Class consists of a midterm and final (MC, TF, short answer. All online, but still difficult). Research paper that was graded kinda harshly, but you have lots of free range on the topic. Also a social media assignment (super easy). Go to lecture and take good, detailed notes, w/ examples, and you wont need to study to pass/ get a B in class
