Be prepared to never be able to write everything down. He says he doesn't like putting things on the slides and then proceeds to put dense text on the slides. Readings are NECESSARY TO KEEP UP ON IN ORDER TO PASS. TAs are the ones who really create understanding in the class. Skip a screening? Be prepared for your grade to drop 3%.

I honestly really enjoyed Professor Siegel this quarter. His lectures were very dense but were easily understandable if you read the readings and were gone over in section. Your TA definitely makes or breaks your grade! Be prepared for lots of reading, this course is definitely ap gov, comms, and advertising on crack!!!!

I have no idea what the grading criteria are like. The professor just talk about bunch of useless stuff and I can't learn anything from the lectures.

Someone clearly wasn't hugged as a kid

an obnoxious and unrealistic amount of reading is assigned weekly that you're expected to comprehend and memorize for both the midterm and final exam

Prof Siegel was entirely unhelpful when I had to miss a midterm due to a medical issue. Ended up with C due to this. His lectures were actually interesting however, so I'll give him that.
