I took Professor Kam for a 3-week summer course and it was one of my favorite classes I have taken in the Comm department! Somehow she made a 3 hour lecture always feel interesting. Since it was a summer class the grade was based on a midterm and final exam (both multiple choice) but I think during the school year there's also a paper.

Dr.Kam is by far my favorite comm professor! Although i took her 3 week course, her lectures are super easy to follow along. Her exams do have some questions from the reading, so even light reading will help! She is one of those professors who just makes you feel safe to engage in class discussions. 10/10 would recommend this course.

Dr. Kam is really lovely. She's a kind professor who genuinely cares about her students. You can tell she really passionate about what she lectures us on. You also don't have to go to lecture (she posts slides online), but going will make you understand the topics better. I would highly recommend her !!

doesn't post her slides or any notes online, and really doesn't emphasize what you need to know for tests. This class is not like other comm classes at UCSB and the majority of exam questions were on small lecture points one really wouldn't expect to see. definitely take another comm class if you have the option

Ive taken 2 courses with Kam so far. Shes great! I love her lectures and the material is easy. Test questions make you think and apply terms instead of just regurgitating definitions but she provides a study guide so if you do that and do your readings and attend class youll get a good grade. She wants you to understand & succeed

Dont get me wrong Kams lecture are very engaging and informative. However, the study guide material is not proportional to the test questions. Very confusing - questions are asked from minuscule information from the textbook and journal articles she puts on gauchospace. Just avoid this class if you are trying to get in the A range.
