Not sure why my honest review keeps being removed, maybe someone is insecure. This class should be avoided at all costs. So many readings/studies are expected to be comprehended at a high level. The section never helped on the exam (readings discussed in section would never be on the exam, so it felt like a total waste of brain space). Merry Xmas!

Prof Bimber's class was truly phenomenal. The class is a challenging graduate-style course, where the midterm and final were a large portion of the grade, largely based on research articles. Bimber is a great lecturer, and the more you put into the class, the more you will get out. Go to office hours, collaborate with friends. It's worth it! 10/10

Good professor overall, but the course is extremely exam-heavy. 60% of your grade comes from just two tests, so messing up on even one puts you in a position where recovering your grade is impossible. lectures are solid professor knows the material, but the grading structure creates a lot of pressure. If you're not a strong test-taker don't take.

Bruce Bimber is a great lecturer, but the class itself is tough. It has a midterm, a quarter-long group project, a final, and section participation. The real issue is the exams; they demand memorizing obscure details, making the course feel like a grad class pretending to be for undergrads. The only good thing was Pierce, the TA. DO NOT TAKE!!!!

I LOVED this class. I took Pol 12 and Prof Bimber did a fantastic job. He's a great lecturer and organized presenter. Lecture flew by. There's lots of reading for this class, but the content's interesting so I didn't mind. Highly recommend!

Loved this class! You have to put in the work for an A and there is a lot of reading every week, but the content of the class was super interesting. I really enjoyed Professor Bimber's lectures! Take good notes in lecture, it will help for the tests. 3 easy writing assignments, 2 midterms and 1 final. The TAs were also great and super helpful.

Amazing professor! He made the material so interesting and knows how to engage you. There are 3 writing assignments (two of which are based on what is said in section). Two midterms and a final. They aren't crazy hard, the TAs are very sweet and want you to succeed. He does expect you to read an entire textbook and everything is said in lecture

Great lectures which exam SAQs always pull from, so take super-detailed notes. Quizzes are easy to pass. Readings are dense and not often seen on exams, but do them anyways. Covers very interesting modern-day material. Has definitely improved on making exam questions match lecture content — just pay attention. TAs are friendly and accessible.

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.

Bimber was an enjoyable lecturer and professor overall. However, he said certain material would be on the exams and then used completely different material and blindsided everyone. Had 1 midterm and 1 final that were weighted pretty heavily and included MCQs along with SAQs. Felt like they were looking for pretty specific things on the SAQ portion.

I wanted to like this class, but I was told verbatim by a TA "we were only allowed to give out a limited number 10/10s" by the professor on tests, despite the accuracy of student responses. This was extremely frustrating and I would not take this class again due to his grading policies.

Workload is very easy and he is a great teacher. Grade is mainly based on mid term and final as well as a paper. The tests are moderately difficult but if you go to lecture and prepare they're not bad.
