Easy class if you go to LECTURE and take detailed notes. Write down the examples she uses to apply the concepts. Know your notes front and back and know key terms from the book and exams wont be as people say. Its hard to get a good grade on the papers. I got a C- and a B- on them but pulled an A- in the class. GO TO LECTURE!!

Professor Mullin is a GREAT lecturer. COMM 1 was at 8 in the morning, but i rarely fell asleep.. she made it easy to understand and fun. However, it is not an easy class. Her tests and papers are really hard.

She doesn't test your knowledge, she tests your test taking skills. If you are a good test taker then take the class, if not then DO NOT! It is boring and the midterm and final are impossible!

Mullin is a great orator, yet her class is VERY difficult. Her tests are multiple choice, but they are very detail oriented, so don't think they will be easy. Also, the essay topics are challenging.In order to get a good grade, you must memorize the lecture notes along with key ideas from the book and do well on the essays.

This class had some interesting material in it, but the reading was long and boring. I often didn't do the reading. Mullin is a fun lecturer and very clearly covers the bulk of the material that is on the mid-term and final. Her tests are tricky, but if you go to lecture and study a bit, you should be ok.

tests are very hard. you may think you know it but you probably dont. shes humorous anda good lecturer. take DETAILED NOTESSS!!!! and GO TO CLASS! i had it at 8am and skipped once in a while. i definitely shouldnt have. i loved my TA (Becca Speer). very approachable and a good grader (not too harsh). sections seem pointless though. but are mandator

Really nice person and knowledgeable, however if you miss class or don't study well you won't do well. I didn't go to lecture very often but studied hard and read that book front to cover . and managed an A so its possible but very difficult.

mullins a quirky energetic prof. lectures are organized so notes are easily taken. DO take detailed notes because u must learn to apply the concepts during exams. sections & ta arent helpful / neccessary for the most part, but u get docked for not going =( do NOT get stuck with ta k. pearce ..... not much assistance when needed.

I love her! she is funny, easy to listen to, entertaining, and makes everything clear. All you have to do is go to class, skim the book, and study your notes. Her clips of south park and advertisements are great breaks from class!! She is so sweet!

I have taken two classes with her so far (comm 1 and comm 89). did great and both and i enjoyed them as well. Her lectures are easy to takes notes from, and my notes are always organized. She uses a lot of video and tv snippets which are always a nice break from class. Overall, I really enjoyed both her and the class

Class sections are not mandatory however if you do not attend you fail. Her class was not"fun"as someone said prior.Her lectures are clear and well organized. The exams were VERY difficult. I studied hard and did awful on the Midterm and Final as did all of my friends. Her exams are long and drawn out. ?'s were way/too long. I did NOT enjoy thic cl

Great speaker, mostly interesting lectures. Kind of funny but her humor fades. Everyone says its a hard class but if you study and do well on the papers its not.

Mullin is amazing, and more amazing when you go to her office hours. However, beware of the test, it doable, just tricky: test example: a) right answer b) right answer but not really) c) kind of wrong answer d) a and b e) all of the above.

She is one of the best professors at ucsb!! Her lectures are often fun and interesting, and exams are based on them, so do go. It is a hard class n you really have to know your stuff to do well on exams. The paper grading system (the curve) makes it increadibly hard to get something above B. But its a cool class tho ;)

Dolly has been around for a long time, therefore she knows her stuff. She is funny and interesting, but you have to go to lecture. Her tests are not hard if you study right. She gives you sample questions, study as if you were answering things like that. You cannot study like you would for any other class. Study right, and this class is a breeze.

Material seems to be really easy and I thought I did well after the midterm but wow, I was wrong. No matter how much you know the material, those 'all of the above' and 'a & c' questions are KILLER. I went to every lecture and did the readings, but when those tests came around it felt like I hadn't learned anything at all. Really nice lady though.

Her lectures were clear and helpful... but i had a bad expierences because of a t.a. but Prof. Mullin was really nice and easy to get help from....

Lectures are clear, professor explains everything well. The necessary part is going to lectures, if you do, Midterm and Final will seem easy.

ive had her for 3 classes, and after all that decided to drop the major because i just cant stand one more class with her. must attend all lectures, which is an ok way to teach, but is completely unhelpful and unsympathetic if you are unable to attend one (for ANY reason, including having to be in the hospital). if you miss class youre out of luc

Mullin could not be more clear in her lectures. She is the most straightforward prof I have had in my 3 years here. Tests are a breeze of you go to lecture and read. People keep saying that her tests are tricky with answer choices like "a&c" but if you went to lecture and read they weren't tricky at all cause you knew it. Very fair and easy tests.

class was wayyyyyy more difficult than i expected. class is graded on a bell curve meaning only a certain percentage of students can get a. screws a lot of people over. overall, really good lecturer and classes aren't completely boring but tests were hard. made me change my major out of comm.

Professor Dolly Mullin basically tests you based on her lectures. Basically, if you go to her lecture everyday and do the work, you pretty much get the course material of the class. She also a great communicator. Her examples in class are funny and very memorable, making it easier to remember during midterms or finals.

I will admitt Mullin is nice, a good teacher, and tries to make the class fun. However, her tests are very hard and tricky. Dont listen to the students who say they aren't, it's bull. It is a multiple chose test but she gives options like A&B, A&C, none of the above, all of the above: all in the same question!!! ahhhhhhhhh!
