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

He was cool and knows how to speak but garners the kind of cult-y following. The class is very convoluted and based on obscure social trends from the mid/late 1900s. The tests are ridiculous, have to study multiple prompts with like 10 questions each and its in-person essays that you have to prep for. He's like really unempathetic
