Dunbar is clearly super knowledgeable about her subjects which is super cool to learn from. She uses a menu grading system which is confusing but nice once you get a hang of it. you basically choose what assignments you want to do.

Taken online. weekly discussion posts and quizzes (easy). final paper (super easy). My type of class.

Great prof, easy class (took it online), just doing weekly quizzes which are open book, readings were straight forward and you can skim

Professor Dunbar is a really fair professor in the comm department. I thought her lectures were concise and made the class content easy to follow.

I enjoyed taking this class during S22! The online format was amazing. Grading was out of 200 points, with 10 quizzes at 10pts each, 2 discussion posts at 3pts each (every week), and a final paper at 40pts. Quizzes were open-book and had an hour time limit. The 3-5 page paper was straightforward. I would recommend this class & professor!

An online class shared with all UC campus. The content of deception detection is very intriguing, and Dunbar is really an expert in the field. The pre-recorded lectures are brief and informative. Weekly quiz is simple as long as you watch the lecture. The 3 pages paper is also fairly graded.

Norah is a good lecturer and she is available for office hours if needed but she is not a very empathetic person. Also, she does not do any lecture about the book which I really don't understand why. The online course is very organized but I would not take the class if you want a motivational and inspirational course.

I really LOVED this class. Very straightforward. Only Dr. Dunbar could make an online course just as fulfilling -if not more fulfilling- than an in-person class and I usually hate online classes. I also took Deception with her and both classes were amazing. She keeps lectures short and doesn't simply restate what we read in the textbook. Take it!!

The best comm professor ever taken! Highly recommended!

Deception Comm was so interesting and Dunbar is a great professor! The class was half online and will be entirely online next quarter, which makes it so much easier and less stressful. Just 10 weekly quizzes, 5 group discussion posts, and a short group paper. You can earn 2% extra credit by doing SONA studies. Take this class!

I took this class as it was transitioning from in-person to online, so it was a super unique experience. As this course switching to fully online in Fall 19 I would say you should definitely take this class if you have other challenging courses you need to take at the same time. Weekly quizzes instead of a midterm + final was literally the best.

Only quizzes online (super easy!) Lectures are interesting. Class in general is easy and she's super knowledgable (she works with Judy Burgoon!!!) I don't know why Norah gets lame reviews because she's honestly super chill and a smart lady. Highly recommend! The class is hybrid now but turning into an all online class.
