This was my first time taking an online class at UCSB, and I loved it. Professor Dunbar provided insightful lectures and textbooks covering many aspects of interpersonal communication. There's a final paper worth and two weekly discussion posts with a quiz included. It's an easy class as long as you do the work! I 100% recommend taking the class.

She studies power and is a great example of someone who abuses her power, ironically. 12/10 would not recommend unless doing a case study. She made sure her husband took jobs of actual qualified lecturers as an obvious example of her use of nepotism. Socially awkward. Classroom decorum even worse.

Easiest comm class and most interesting material. Less than an hour weekly lecture videos and 2 weekly discussion posts. There is a paper at the end but you choose from lots of topics and it's pretty interesting. This is my 8th upper div comm class and this is by far the easiest one. 100% recommend to anyone in the major to take this class!

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
