Hamilton was such an engaging lecturer and really good at being accessible for questions. Take good notes and you should be good. 3 exams with MCQ and calculation problems that are graded on a very lenient curve. You can use the textbook and any sticky notes you stuff in it on the test. Minimal homework.

dr. hamilton is great! 3 papers, attendance is mandatory, and a final. each paper has very clear grading criteria and are graded pretty fairly. lectures are very engaging as well. i recommend!

Comm 160DM is a great class and it is easy to do well as long as you apply yourself and use the lecture material. Only 3 major assignments (besides the final). Dr. Hamilton is funny and engaging in lectures and I learned the most from this Comm class out of every one I've taken. Take this class if you want to go into marketing!

Dr. Hamilton is awesome! She is seriously so smart and KNOWS what she is talking about. I asked her about a question on the exam and instead of just telling me that I simply got it wrong, she helped me really understand and went as far as providing another example question to make sure I understood. Not a bad workload. Pay attention in lecture.

Prof Hamilton is an amazing professor. Her lectures are always interesting and easy to pay attention to, although can be lengthy at times. You can tell she is very passionate about what she is talking about. The class is centered around 3 projects and a final exam. The projects are very do-able and graded very fairly. Final was hard so study a lot.

Prof. Hamilton is very approachable and cool. Lecture slides are helpful and provide lots of examples for understanding course content. 3 papers with step-by-step instructions and a final exam. She is in-tune with current trends and finds ways to relate to students to create more engaging lectures. Very knowledgeable and is happy to help.

I had Hamilton for COMM 166+160DM and they were amazing in both. They sparked my passion for marketing and it's very clear that they're knowledgeable in their craft. Their lectures are very easy to follow, and I especially appreciate that the assignments/projects give hands-on experience with methods applicable to real-world marketing or a job. 5/5

Professor Hamilton is very kind and knowledgeable, and truly wants her students to learn and succeed. The grade consisted of attendance, 3 papers with clear expectations and relevant marketing applications, and a final. The papers are fun as she lets you choose the product/ issue to focus on and teaches you a lot about real-world marketing tactics.

Majority of the lectures included real-world examples and trends that were actually interesting and made it easier to recall the concepts for the final. Final grade consisted of 3 assignments (4-5 page papers on a product of your choice) Very straightforward & definitely one of the more engaging professors on campus

Prof Hamitlon's lectures are genuinely applicable to a lot of career fields that UCSB lacks guidance on. There are only 3 assignments in this class that were super manageable and she gives clear grading criteria. Also super passionate about what she teaches and is cool and hip so be prepared to talk about some fun topics in class.

Prof Hamilton is a very relatable & approachable, however, she goes through lectures very quickly. If her lectures were more slow-paced & split up, I think the information would be absorbed better, especially since knowing the material will help you understand the project better. Ms. Hamilton's email response varies--she either responds or doesn't.

Professor Hamilton Is passionate about her teaching, and although her teaching style might not be right for everyone she does make an effort to connect with students. Her presentations are a little dense so make sure you take notes. The course centers around a group project that is more than manageable as long as you work well with others.
