Greatest Comm professor I've had so far. TAs were great and easily accessible. Reverse classroom structure, attendance mandatory but allowed to miss a lot with no penalty. Easy quizzes and accessible for help with final paper. Would take again!

Amazing professor!! Great and engaging lectures, posts all important lectures in online videos, and has extreme passion for students. Best COMM 89 prof!!

prof lane is one of the best at ucsb. you can tell he's genuinely passionate about the concepts he teaches and he makes a genuine effort to connect with and cater to his students. his lectures are hilarious and interactive, and he makes what would otherwise be rather heavy and difficult concepts digestable. beware of pop quizzes in-lecture though!

Seriously loved this class because of Prof. Lane. His lectures are really clear and interesting, he uses a lot of pop-culture references and makes it really engaging. Besides one big final paper, this class was not a lot of work and as long as you keep up with lectures and at least try you'll most likely do well.

Dr. Lane is one of the best profs I've had so far at UCSB. Super kind person, interesting & engaging lectures, and makes the material fun to learn. He relates the material to our generation which I liked. Manageable weekly assignments & readings and only have in-person lecture 1x/wk (he posts other lectures as well). Plan on taking him again! 10/10

Really good guy. The lectures were informative and learned a lot about COMM theories. I enjoyed his style and thought his voice was quite soothing. Not a huge fan of TAs but had a good one which is crucial when taking a class like this. Take Lane for COMM89!
