Super accommodating prof! Her class has lots of assignments but they are not worth a lot of points. That means that if you miss a few, you won't bomb the class. Also, she has a 10 point freebie, no questions asked. Fair, clear, and very professional!

The content was a little dull but super doable. Weekly reading guides and discussion questions for homework, and a couple of group assignments.

She teaches a hybrid style class with Tuesday asynchronous lectures and Thursday in person class. Her in person lectures are very clear and interesting. I am not sure if I like the discussion activities in class as it depends on the group you are sitting with. The quizzes are hard as they cover different types of material.

The entire grade was compromised of weekly quizzes, weekly reading guides and a weekly group discussion. The class material was overall interesting. On Tuesdays we had an asynchronous lecture posted online and then on Thursday a more in depth discussion about the material.

Took her CommW113 class and it was great. Very few Comm profs at UCSB know how to teach an online class well and she is one of the good ones. Pros: very organized, flexible, provides handouts for her slides, caring about accessibility needs. Cons: Lots of low stake assignments every week. Apply it assignments are hard

Easy class as long as you turn in all the assignments. Really apprieciated the hybrid format.

Grading criteria is very clear, with a gamification style structure of the class, lots of diff assignments and ways to earn points. But I found this structure wasn't for me, it's so much busy work and it's easy to forget assignments, she has built-in lee-way so NOT flexible with due dates. Theories are also very redundant from other comm classes.

One of best lecturers I have had. Clear, concise, and gives great examples. She is very upfront about the structure of the class and the grading criteria. It uses a gamification model so you can pick and choose the assignments you want to complete. No exams but lots of assignments for fewer points. It's good for me because exams give me anxiety.

Saleem is a well spoken intellectual, making her a fun professor to learn from. Yet, depending on what TA you get, the grading can be detailed and harsh. If a reading guide is a sentence too long or not reworded the exact way they think is correct - they will mark you wrong. Be detailed and summarize in your own words. The quizzes can be tricky.

Very straightforward class with 10 free-bee points meaning you can miss a quiz entirely and still be in the running for an A+. Not the most interesting in person lectures since they repeat exactly what the asych online lectures say, but class is where you earn random discussion points so can be useful. Easy class just has some busy work.

The class is based on weekly assignments, such as a reading guide and short, 15-minute weekly quizzes. All of the information and answers are found in the textbook. She is so kind, a great lecturer, provided awesome examples, and overall made class discussion very interesting.

Very interesting class! Her grading system gives you so much flexibility with missing classes or quizzes and there is no final, midterm, or essay! The grading basically consists of quizzes, small assignments, and 2 projects.
