Very easy class. Show up occasionally and you can ace the tests -- nothing on there you didn't know or couldn't figure out before you took the class. Can't believe I paid for this.

Easiest class ever. She giggles a lot. It's like a group therapy session, not a class. She seems caring but really it's all about her; she's very fond of herself. I didn't learn a thing and the content was nonexistent. Not a thing on the tests you couldn't guess with a tiny bit of logic. Waste of time but easy A.

Tammy is the best professor! Family comm is the best class I've taken at UCSB. Her tests are tricky so you have to study. Going to office hours does wonders for your grade. She is super accessible and kind!

Graded by two papers, midterm, and final exam. Exams were definitely tricky, so study up and ask questions. Definitely attend lecture, as slides alone aren't enough to be prepared for the exams. She's super caring, kind, and accessible. Grading criteria is clear for papers, and asking the TA for help is a good way to be prepared.

Dr. Afifi is great! She cares a lot about her students. We had a midterm and a final (non cumulative) and two essays.

She really cares about her students, papers and tests questions are fair, she makes her lectures easy to follow

She's amazing!! Super caring and makes class extremely interesting. Take her class

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.

Professor Afifi was amazing for Family Comm!!! I learned so much in this course about the family dynamic, parent-child relationship development, and gained a lot of useful tips for healthy/happy relationships. Best and most beneficial Comm class in my opinion. Take this course!

Took her on last summer. The class content is super interesting, and her lectures are great.
