Professor Abra is by far one of the best comm professors I have had. He is so incredibly engaging and makes the class content he is teaching fun to learn. His grading criteria and what he expects from his students is very clear. If you do not go to class you wont do well on final or midterm. Readings need to be done. Very funny personality.
Abra is a very engaging lecturer and professor. The content of this class was truly interesting and I enjoyed learning about the topics. However, he does not use lecture slides. Additionally, his tests are extremely difficult and painfully specific. For context, 22 students last quarter received an F on the MIDTERM and only 11 received an A.
Very interesting lectures. Take Abra if you are actually trying to take advantage of your education. You will learn things that will actually be useful in your life after graduating. You do have to do the readings and attend lectures to do well.
Dr.Abra is seriously one of the best professors I've ever had. He's so knowledgable and makes subjects super interesting. As long as you go to class and do the readings you will succeed.
Professor Abra's lectures were easily the most interesting and engaging lectures I've ever listened to. He is very passionate about what he teaches and genuinely wants students to succeed. While attendance is not mandatory, it is highly recommended as the exams are mostly based off of lecture. I learned a lot and would definitely recommend!
Dr. Abra is an ~interesting~ lecturer. Grading consisted of 1 midterm (30%), 1 cumulative final exam (40%), and 1 8-10 page paper (30%). He strictly did not use PowerPoint slides and did not have accommodations for those who needed to miss class (COVID). The material was interesting but he tended to ramble. I won't be taking him again.
