Best prof ever. If you need upper divs or just are a comm major... TAKE HIM. He is awesome and a great connection for other classes and opportunities. If you are interested in a law future, even better! He is so knowledgeable in that subject and it was awesome taking that class. Textbooks are two books from amazon or pdf's. Super easy and fun class

Dr. Linz is a good professor who is very passionate about the subject he teaches, even though his lectures are pretty boring. He does pop quizzes every week and 4 800-word essays throughout the quarter.

Professor Linz is awesome! He's super chill and passionate about the course's material. I recommend taking him!

Chill and cool professor.

My favorite professor at UCSB. Linz cares about his students and wants them to succeed in class and outside of class. He does contract grading so if you put it an effort and submit all your assignments you will get an A.

The best Communication professor at UCSB. We need more professor like him who genuinely care for their student's wellbeing and education. If I could I'd take all of my Communication classes with him. He is one of a kind and deserves all the respect. He is extremely passionate to what he teaches which is very important to keeping students engaged!!!

Amazing professor. Wish I had was able to take more courses with him. He has contract grading so as long as you do the assignments and put in your best and honest effort, you'll get an A. No quizzes or tests, just a few papers and in-class discussions. I learned best with this method of teaching!

Professor Linz is amazing! I took him for Comm 134 (Electronic Media Policy) which sounds boring but was actually so interesting. Lectures are not mandatory but always fun because Linz is hilarious and enthusiastic. A very chill grading system based on doing the work "in good faith." Caring and flexible. Definitely take this class!

Prof. Linz is a walking encyclopedia, very knowledgeable, inspirational, and supportive, encouraging students to think critically. Lots of reading and writing, but you will get the full points as long as you do it. Super caring!

Professor Linz is so kind and caring. Do the work, and you will get an "A." Great individual.

Prof Linz really cares about his students and wants us not only to succeed in his class but to learn about society. He has weekly assignments that you get 100% on as long as you attempt with good faith. His discussions + lectures are thought provoking and has changed how I view the world. Papers are lengthy but on interesting topics. Highly rec!

He's the coolest but at the same time unorganized prof I've had. If you talk to him about the material and show interest in it he really values it. He's more interested in critical thinking than you memorizing things for points.
