Best prof ever. If you need upper divs or just are a comm major... TAKE HIM. He is awesome and a great connection for other classes and opportunities. If you are interested in a law future, even better! He is so knowledgeable in that subject and it was awesome taking that class. Textbooks are two books from amazon or pdf's. Super easy and fun class

Dr. Linz is a good professor who is very passionate about the subject he teaches, even though his lectures are pretty boring. He does pop quizzes every week and 4 800-word essays throughout the quarter.

My favorite professor at UCSB. Linz cares about his students and wants them to succeed in class and outside of class. He does contract grading so if you put it an effort and submit all your assignments you will get an A.
