Social psychology of language and communication examined from the "social identity approach." From this perspective, which claims that our attributes, beliefs, and behaviors flow from our self-conceptions as group members, we investigate concepts such as stereotyping, power, and CMC.

This course was pretty difficult to follow because there are so many details to remember. More studies than I can comprehend and the findings were sometimes difficult to decipher, even with the supplemental lecture material. The format of the tests give me anxiety just thinking about them.

Grade is based off of 2 small papers and weekly quizzes. Papers are 2 pages double spaced (sounds easy right) think again. Reid is a tough grader but he is a respectable guy. Quizzes are challenging and based off of lectures and readings. Take good notes. Overall, I enjoyed his lectures and I like his personality, but not an easy A.

Based his teaching off of pure empirical research studies. Got a little confusing at times but he's willing to re-explain everything if needed. I loved the challenge to learn through this lecture style nonetheless. Probably my favorite lecture style in the comm dept thus far. Would recommend!

I love Reid, I've taken multiple classes with him. He's truly brilliant and a very funny guy. I think the negative feedback is coming from students who don't understand his sense of humor. You must attend lectures to be successful. Go to his office hours, he WANTS to help but he's busy and you won't get as much feedback by approaching during class

I really don't like his lecture style. Slides are very confusing and he just goes on and on all the time. I'm about to take my final and I still don't know what this class is about. Don't take his class

Easily one of the top Comm. professors on campus. Super interesting material. Not the easiest classes, but great ones that are well worth taking. I have had several classes with Reid and have always enjoyed them. He is a really good guy, crazy smart, funny, and clearly loves the subject matter. Highly recommend any of his classes.
