Completely async class but still had amazing lectures by Prof. Lane and Prof. Merolla. Homework assignments were not hard and the final paper was not too difficult either, especially considering there was no midterm/final exam. Overall a great class with great professors

Fave prof in the comm department. Lectures are engaging and concise without you burning out. He really does put a lot of effort into the material. Easy weekly lecture activities, one group project, one reflection. Only complaint was that the TA graded harshly and gave me a B for the reflection...a PERSONAL REFLECTION.

Lane makes 89 feel more like a Youtube tutorial than a Comm class. His lectures are engaging, relatable, to the point, and track extremely well with his assignments. The class is involved and discusses research in a way that doesn't feel overly academic while still putting students behind-the-wheel to gain experience thinking like a researcher.

Second time taking him, and hopefully there is a third in the Spring if he teaches any UDs! One of the best professors I've taken, so kind & really cares about his students. The content was super relevant to our political climate, and he always put a lot of time into the lectures. He is just really awesome and I can't extend my praises enough!

He was honestly one of the best professors. His lectures are so clear and engaging, and his slides are very informative but not complicated at all. He doesn't waste time and you can see that he cares a lot about his students. He explained every concept with a real-life example so that it's easier to understand. I loved his class so much!

I had him in spring quarter of 2020 and I thought he was a great professor. He was really understanding and put a lot of effort into the material he taught. His presentations were funny and he tried to relate a lot to his audience. You have to read the chapters but the works was average and relatively fine.

Professor Lane's teaching was very clear and easy to follow. I hope to have him again for upper-division courses! His lectures would also include funny scenes from shows (that applied to the material, of course). Def passes the vibe check.

my favorite prof in the lower comm division courses! lectures are clear and organized. he is so patient and understanding. bumps you up to the next letter grade if you are .5 away. one paper, one midterm, and one final that are about 30% each.

Professor Lane is a very kind, caring teacher. His lectures for comm 89 were very clear and concise. His tests focused more on the lecture than on the book, though you should also read the book. Professor Lane is overall a good professor and I would definitely retake his class!

Professor Lane is one of the most caring and knowledgeable professors I've had so far. He is always prepared to class and he would always make sure his lectures are clear. He provides clear guidelines on paper and tests. Tests is not hard, but you really need to understand the theories thoroughly and know how to apply them.

Great professor whose lectures are easy to follow and well organized. You can tell he respects and cares about his students, and listens to concerns and feedback seriously. Very helpful both inside and outside of class.

Super organized professor who listens to students and immediately puts our feedback into practice. He handled the COVID situation well and offered generous alternatives for the final. Engaging lectures, eager to answer questions . Tests were reasonable, and help for paper is given in section. He also always ends lectures and sections early!

Dan is a really good lecturer. He puts the theories into understandable language and provides you with clear examples. You do have to attend section every week and there are weekly assignments but they usually only take an hour or two to complete. The tests are a little difficult but that is normal for COMM88/89. Essays are graded competitively.
