Prof Stohl is one of the best in the Comm department. She knows what she is talking about and has a straightforward, stern but also friendly attitude. The class is going to be tough but it's worth it to put in the work.

No final which was nice but 2 exams both worth 40% of our grade (one was given during Thanksgiving week which was annoying). Lots of backhanded comments and was not nice to our TA who was such a sweet guy. Knows a lot about her field and is very respected in the communication world.

She is so brilliant and knows so much about her field. I took 175 Gig Work with her and she made the class a breeze and still kept it insanely interesting and applicable. Each assignment was just building up to our final paper- no tests. By the time the essay was due, I had it half finished. Do yourself a favor and take a class of hers!

My favorite professor at UCSB! She really cares about students and is so interested in what she teaches. This course focuses on organizational communication in the global context. There isn't much theory, but rather real-life relevancy. Weekly assignments are based on applying concepts to a multinational organization. There lots of extra credit!

Professor Stohl is super nice and caring. The weekly assignments aren't bad, they are just busy work. Can be graded somewhat harshly, but she provides a lot of feedback that is helpful.

Absolutely the best professor I have ever had! Intriguing class lectures and really cares about her students. She drove me further in my career path and even helped me with grad school applications! You're missing out if you do not take her!

Not gonna lie, the exams are tough but Cynthia cares so much about her students. I emailed her during one of my daily mental breakdown asking for an extension. She immediately asked if I could join a zoom meeting with her in which she got me the mental health care I needed. Her tests might be tough, but her heart is pure gold.

She was very nice and understanding. The class was very interesting but did have two big papers and hard mid-term. I did like that that final was optional though. Be prepared to work though, lots of assignments. Would take again.

DON NOT CHOOSE HER! She is one of the worse professors I ever met. she is a tough grader. The most ridiculous thing is that instead of giving grading guidelines before the exams, she gave it after! Also, she made the online learning more difficult : always uploaded wrong lectures. Bascially, we get nothing back after so many efforts put on it.

Didn't really like the class. The material was very interesting but the way she taught was frustrating at times. The projects were always very ambiguous and left the majority of the class confused most of the time. She did let us have an optional final and there was no textbook required. Always felt like there was so much work due weekly though.

One of my favorite professors at UCSB. Professor Stohl gets you to think outside the box and I genuinely enjoyed going to class.
