CollegeAmazing professor and his lectures are very interesting. However, the exams are pretty difficult and tricky! There's no study guide so canvas / lectures are only the guide. There's a huge paper but it just depends on your TA on the grading.
Great teacher overall; however, the grading structure does make it very hard to succeed if you miss something or don't do well on an assignment. Tests were very wordy and tricky and required a lot of studying. However, lectures were incredibly engaging and useful to the class. Just be prepared to work hard and pay attention.
Grading structure makes it very hard to succeed in this class
I LOVED Professor Lane. Yes this is a hard class but he makes it better. For the final paper, make sure to utilize your TA's for help as they are the ones who grade the papers. I ended up getting a 98 on the final paper as I used the advice given to me by my TA. Loved this class.
class involved a couple lecture videos and one in-person lecture a week (plus section). dr. lane's lectures are honestly funny and interesting, and the midterm and final exams are not difficult as long as you actually watch the lecture vids.
Dan lane is the best comm 89 professor! the class is still difficult but posts the lectures on canvas and an easy quiz in class every week. Midterm and final in class. 1 Essay. Love Dan Lane!
