Super accommodating prof! Her class has lots of assignments but they are not worth a lot of points. That means that if you miss a few, you won't bomb the class. Also, she has a 10 point freebie, no questions asked. Fair, clear, and very professional!

She teaches a hybrid style class with Tuesday asynchronous lectures and Thursday in person class. Her in person lectures are very clear and interesting. I am not sure if I like the discussion activities in class as it depends on the group you are sitting with. The quizzes are hard as they cover different types of material.

Saleem is a well spoken intellectual, making her a fun professor to learn from. Yet, depending on what TA you get, the grading can be detailed and harsh. If a reading guide is a sentence too long or not reworded the exact way they think is correct - they will mark you wrong. Be detailed and summarize in your own words. The quizzes can be tricky.

Very interesting class! Her grading system gives you so much flexibility with missing classes or quizzes and there is no final, midterm, or essay! The grading basically consists of quizzes, small assignments, and 2 projects.

COMM114 . 1 Year, 8 Months Ago

Class structure is clear and concise. No papers. 2 lectures per week (one in person) w/ weekly online quizzes and reading guides. 2 projects where you apply concepts to media examples. Attendance is optional but she gives out discussion points that can only be earned during in-person lecture. Extremely fair class and easy A if you do the work.

The content was a little dull but super doable. Weekly reading guides and discussion questions for homework, and a couple of group assignments.
