I didn't mind prof kam as a person but man were the lectures boring. This class was not fun at all, group project was graded super strict and both exams felt like she was trying to just trick us. Please don't take this class take literally any other class. Save your gpa pls for me🙏

Most boring class I took in my time at UCSB. Dr. Kam is really nice but the material is incredibly basic and yet she still finds a way to make the test questions nuanced and tricky, and attendance is required. The best part of the class is the guest lectures, but even then she asks about minute details that don't matter. Avoid if u can, GPA killer.

Class is super lecture heavy. Sadly only graded on like 3 things. Midterm, final, and a final group project. Group project is annoying and somewhat hard. Class would be a lot better if there wasn't a final project and final exam. Kam herself is a good professor but the class is just super lecture heavy and sometimes its hard to pay attention.

I really liked Prof Kam. You're graded on attendance (Iclicker), a group project, midterm and final exam. She really knows what she is talking about and uses a lot of relevant criteria for the course. Tests are pretty difficult/application over memorization so getting the textbook/doing the readings is def important. I'd recommend her!

Professor Kam is a very kind woman and a well credentialed professor. However, this class is very very boring, so beware. Attendance is mandatory with two excused absences. Maybe it's just the content of the class but the lectures feel so so long. love kam but it was definitely one of my least enjoyable communication classes.

I took Professor Kam for a 3-week summer course and it was one of my favorite classes I have taken in the Comm department! Somehow she made a 3 hour lecture always feel interesting. Since it was a summer class the grade was based on a midterm and final exam (both multiple choice) but I think during the school year there's also a paper.
