Material was interesting but I didn't like how the assignments were weighted. 60% of your grade is based off essays (final research paper, article critique, essay on midterm) and IMO were graded harshly. Exams cover a lot of material, and are application based, but easy if you study and attend lecture. A's on both exams but B+ in class bc of essays

I enjoyed Professor Afifi a lot in Comm 151. She is so genuine and personable, and you can tell she really loves what she teaches and cares for her students. My only thing is that I feel like you are expected to cover waaaay too much content compared to other classes and have it all memorized for tests. Other than that, she is a great teacher.

Midterm is challenging. The average score is quite low! The lecture is funny but a few tricky questions in the exam. Most multiple choices are like "A, B, C are correct" or "All of the above" which increase the difficulty. The short essay was strictly graded. You need to come up with well-rounded statement and good elaboration in limited time.

Afifi has been my favorite teacher at UCSB so far. She's so friendly and approachable. lectures are always entertaining. If you go to class, and pay attention you'll pass

Best prof I've had here Funny, engaging, interesting material, and fair grader. Her classes usually have a midterm, a final, and a paper or 2 but it's all based on interesting material that you apply to your own life Had her for Relational Comm and Family Comm

Great professor!

Affifi is hands down my favorite professor. I would recommend her Conflict class and Family class to anyone. You do need to do the work, but the tests and class are fair. Take her class before she leaves UCSB! You won't regret it!

Prof. Afifi is a quirky woman. She is very hot and has a good sense of humor. She makes class fun by telling stories about her family and engaging her students. Attendence is mandatory (you can only miss 2 classes without penalty). 2 papers and 2 tests. Papers are kind of tough. Tests are easy. Book is not necessary. Would recommend for COMM majors

Absolutely loved this class! She is an amazing professor (best I've had thus far). Encourages class discussion and is always willing to help or just chat. Material is super interesting and applicable to life which is a plus. Tests are fair... pretty easy if you take really good notes and skim the reading. 2 tests (final not cumulative) and 2 papers

Hands down the best professor at UCSB. Always willing to help and is one of the nicest people I've ever met.
