CollegeLecture
One of my favorite classes I've taken at UCSB. Her lectures are very video clip heavy, which helped in understanding the concepts being discussed. It also made class enjoyable as a lot of the clips were from some popular movies and tv shows. Her exams were online and open-note, which helped with taking some of the pressure off the class.
COMM188 was one of the most memorable classes I've taken at UCSB. Professor Lane and TA were very accessible if you ever needed help. Take the class, you will not regret it!
The best Communication professor at UCSB by a landslide. Will take his classes over and over again.
Wow. All I can say is that Prof. Elder was my favorite professor. She got her point across and made the content very easy to learn and understand. Please please if you have the opportunity to take a class with her DO IT!!! She is just the best and I wish I could take every class with her as my Professor.
I had this professor for both COMM 1 and COMM 87 and I LOVED her classes. She is super engaging and makes little jokes in her lectures and connects them to little things about herself like her true crime obsession and her cats. She is very transparent about what is going to be on exams and fully prepares you for them. Honestly my fav professor.
one of the best professors at ucsb. super engaging lectures and made me look forward to attending class despite it being at 9:30 am. she connects a lot of the content to current media which makes it easier to remember. not a homework-heavy class at all and consisted of one writing assignment a week. midterm and final were both online at home.
