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.

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
Overall confused by this class. I attended every lecture, studied for the tests and worked hard on the paper but was graded very harshly. Got worse scores on these online test than in my bio and chem classes. Do not recommend.
great lectures, easy to understand and follow, very very caring about students and a very very smart lady. love her
She talks fast and only gives examples about vaping. She actually hates vaping so much, and I am not sure why. Also does not post slides, and if you try to take a picture she is going to single you out in front of the entire class. The course is so theory-based that it gets so boring. Online tests, but they are hard and have no study guide
