Heard nothing but great things for this prof. Charming and smart he is. But when it comes to teaching com120 find someone else. Midterm/final are both shirt response 10 questions. He gives SO much information it's impossible to remember it all for 10 questions worth of a test is incredibly unfair. There's also 3 1.5-3 pg response papers 5pts each

Loved him! Such a great lecturer & so excited about his subject! Several papers & section attendance is mandatory. Grades hard because COMM major is very impacted. Make sure to explain theories clearly in essays.

GOAT. Makes lecture fun and easy. The textbook can supplement lecture but lecture is still worth going to. 1 paper, 1 midterm, 1 final, and section make up your grade. Exams are not meant to be tricky, with a solid understanding of material getting an A is very likely. Best pre-COMM class in my opinion and best pre-COMM professor!

Andy is super passionate about the subject and it really shows in his lectures which are super interesting and relevant to everyday life. This was by far one of my favourite COM classes. The tests weren't too bad and focus more on the lecture notes (he doesn't post slides) so you have to go to class, but honestly Andy is such a great lecturer!!

Andy is one of my favorite professors I have ever taken. He is very kind and approachable, but also very knowledgeable and respected. He really knows his stuff, and he is great at making class interesting. I enjoyed going to class and getting the opportunity to learn from him. I hope I get into the COMM major so I can take more classes with him

Fav professor at UCSB so far. A genuine and funny professor, who makes lectures not only interesting but entertaining. Go to lecture, maybe refresh on some topics with the readings.. really straightforward tests + one research paper. You won't regret taking him!!

Andy is so sweet and funny. He is the best pro I've ever had at UCSB. Questions on midterm and final are very straightforward. Don't worry about it, just attend to lectures and read materials. (ANDY, I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Andy is my absolute favorite comm professor at UCSB. He's organized, funny and clearly loves his job and he wants all his students to do well. His lectures are very straight forward. As long as you go to class and do the readings, you'll get a good grade. The midterm and final are both strictly blue book. All short answer & essay questions.

Andy is definitely the best professor I've had at UCSB so far. He made Comm 89 so fun and it's now my favorite class I've taken so far too. He's hilarious and makes lectures really interesting so the material doesn't feel forced but fun to learn about. If you pay attention in lecture (which is easy) and do the readings it's an easy A!

Andy is the best professor at UCSB!! He honestly cares about his students. His exams were really fair and does not intentionally try to trick you. He's also a super charismatic lecturer. HANDS DOWN BEST CLASS I'VE EVER TAKEN AT UCSB.

Andy is such a sweet guy! I have so far taken Comm 1 with Mullin and compared to her, his tests are way more fair. Just make sure to look at your lecture notes and do your readings and you will be totally fine. But honestly Andy is super nice and clear on what he is looking for. Definitely would recommend to take a class with him!

I LOVE ANDYYYYYY. He's so sweet and charming in lectures, and he always has students interests at heart. What sets him apart from Mullin is that his tests are much more straightforward! Study your lecture notes and the concept guide he posts on gauchospace, and you will definitely get an A.

Andy has been the best professor I've had at UCSB so far. His lectures are super entertaining and he delivers the material in a way that makes yo remember it. His tests do not try to trick you and are very straightforward. He does a good job of understanding his students and making sure they understand the material before moving on.

Such a down to earth, funny guy. Recently came from Ohio State so he's adjusting to UCSB. His lectures are different from Mullin's all the best ways possible; straightforward, and comes straight from lecture/reading. He posts lecture slides online like a real homie. If you put effort in, it's easily best class you'll take that quarter.

Amazing lectures and fair tests. Love him!
