This was a great class. Make sure you go to lecture. The tests are hard and the multiple choice are very hard, make sure you really study for them. You can't B.S. your way through this class but Bimber is awesome.

Very hard tests...must study a lot for the tests. Extremely good lecturer and he holds the stage very well--made me want to go to class.

hard tests!!! big fat paper (10 pages), and not responsive to email. great professor though, make sure you GO TO CLASS, if you don't, you're screwed. reading is equally important. he's a great lecturer. i give him a B.

Very clear and precise. Funny insights into politics, such as two supreme court justices getting it on back in the day! Great class.

I hate political science, but Prof. Bimber actually made the class enjoyable. Very charismatic, he holds the stage well in lectures. He's hard though, so do the readings, go to lecture, go to discussion, and study lots!

I love professor Bimber. His class was so interesting and I learned so much. However, there is a big group project that is weighted heavy, but overall 10/10 class. He is so funny and a great lecturer.

lectures can be a little dry sometimes but he's a sweet guy! wants students to learn and use the content from class. technically the content is not hard to memorize (communication heavy) but there's a ton of readings, homework, and a time-consuming group project. yet bc of that, the final and midterm aren't weighed as heavy as other pols classes

Bimber is a great guy and is obviously very passionate about his field of study (political communication). The class had a lot of projects and one large group project, and the lectures were pretty dense. This made the class a little difficult but your grade averages out. Overall, the class was really interesting and the workload was manageable.

Very kind and accommodating. Gives engaging and interesting lectures. A large component of the class grade is a group project though, so be wary if those are not your cup of tea.

Prof Bimber is really smart and def knows his stuff. Tests are heavily on the readings and lectures so make sure you do the readings (or just skim and write down abstract and conclusion). 1 major group project throughout the quarter which wasn't too bad. This class is pretty challenging but if you take notes you will be fine!

Horribly structured and managed class. Two midterms, a project, a final. Curve is strange and unexplained: 94 is a B+, 95 is an A-. Readings are dense and tests require knowledge of specifics. Section was useless with TA receiving no help. Little to no feedback on assignments. Made a mess of a fascinating subject. Skip this one if you can!

Lecture slides are extremely lacking. Section was quite literally the most useless section I've ever had and I've taken most PS classes. If you need an AP class take ANYTHING else. 2 midterms (in which an A- was a 95%), a project worth 10% but takes up most of your time and a final that tests you not only on readings but other presentations.

Bimber is smart, but seems bored during the lectures. Lots of PP, reading is intense and exams are difficult. Grading is a toss up, ultimately depends on TA. The group project was a bit unorganized and lacked focus. He is a GOOD prof, will accommodate your needs and answer all questions. Don't slack off, this is NOT an easy A.

Pretty hard class and the teacher is boring. He makes it somewhat clear if you go to lectures, but this is for sure not a kick back and BS class. Don't take it unless you're a Poli Sci major.

Great professor! He has humor to his lectures, very clear, and makes political science interesting. I took this class because of Bimber (my friends recommended him) and I only wish I could take another class with him.
