COMM169 . Rice R E A Month Ago

He is the best professor, always cracking jokes and gives interesting lectures. Lectures can be a little confusing if you miss class. There were 3 multiple-choice exams that you will do good on if you do all of the sample stems. There were small assignments for credit and two that were in-class exercises with a group but super easy.

Took his course for comm credit and loved it. As someone who skips classes that arent mandatory i actually wanted to show up to this one. Hes super funny and makes a lot of dad jokes, would definitely take another class with him.

One of my fav profs I've had at UCSB. He's very precise No midterm or final, just 3 "quizzes" (33 questions) that are 16% of your grade each on scantrons, and 3 assignments. He has direct questions that will be on the quizzes. As long as u review his sample stems you'll do good on the quizzes. make sure you reread his instructions very thoroughly.

Ron has a great personality. I almost never missed class because I genuinely enjoyed it. His exams aren't too bad as long as you do the question stems. His powerpoints are kinda confusing but he does go over key reading points in class, so I almost never had to read. Id reccommend
