Professor Mullin made lectures really engaging even over zoom and I found her easy to follow! I wish there weren't so many required assignments so we could concentrate on writing our paper more but overall it wasn't a hard class it just took up a lot of time

TAs grade the papers very hard. It's almost impossible to try and figure out what the criteria for a "good" paper is. The exams are kind of difficult in comparison to the lectures that only skim over the majority of the concepts tested. Mullin is a nice woman that's very enthusiastic and knowledgable, but the papers carry too much weight of grade.

TA Lindsay Miller grades overly harshly. Mullin is a good lecturer. The papers are weighted far too heavily. Overall, least favorite class in the comm department.

Prof Mullin is enthusiastic, knowledgable, and approachable. Lectures are less in depth than exam so read textbook. Papers are graded in a way that doesn't seem to value writing abilities, style, or structure; I guess understanding of concepts is more important? Going to office hours to nail down what ur TA is looking for in papers is beneficial

Professor Mullin is fantastic! She's super funny and sweet and cares a lot about her students. Go to office hours just to chat and you'll know what I mean. The class was pretty easy too, as long as you don't procrastinate on the papers.

Very difficult professor. I took her for COMM88 this past winter quarter, and I've never struggled so hard in a class before. My TA was also a difficult grader as well which didn't make the class enjoyable. All I have to say is expect the unexpected with this class.

Professor Mullin was a great professor for Comm1! Her lectures were super engaging and fun to watch. The material is pretty straightforward and the midterm/final is based on the textbook readings and lectures. Make sure to take good notes and you should be fine.

Professor Mullin is so sweet! Its no doubt shes really passionate about what she teaches. The lectures are easy to follow and the material is engaging. Depending on your TA, there can be some tough graders but she gives the opportunity for extra credit. Shes so sweet and the midterm/final not hard as long as you take notes on lectures!

Prof Mullin is great. She is full of energy, always so curious, encouraging and enthusiastic. She is really funny and caring, however the class is so much work. 1-2 chapters reading every week, 2 papers, 3 exam. Very hard to keep up, if she taught more classes with less work I'd take them :)

She's such a doll, really sweet and enthusiastic AND is good at explaining. Tests are open book/notes with more than enough time, so they weren't that hard despite some question being worded a bit tricky. Def take notes during lectures. Essays are long. Overall, class was easy but honestly didn't really learn much.

Really good professor and good class overall. Would recommend as a GE. Take notes during lecture and read the textbook to do well. Quizzes and essays not too difficult if you study and prepare. Professor and TAs have office hours. Go to them as they will help you on papers/quizzes.

Dr. Mullin was an amazing lecturer this quarter, and she did great with online learning. Grades included Quiz 1 (30pts), Quiz 2 (35pts), Quiz 3 (45pts), Paper 1 (50 pts), Paper 2 (50pts), and other participation things to add up to 234pts. Grades were calculated by the number of points you earn. Papers were difficult and depends on what TA you have

Professor Mullin is a really really TOUGH grader, she does not give curves nor accepting any request for boosting. The quiz is super hard and tricky where I think it's pointless to be that tricky. The Paper was graded really harshly because she said she care more about what we learn in the class instead of our grade. Do not recommend at all.

The quizzes are hard, but the professor is ok

Like everyone has mentioned, Professor Mullin's quizzes were a little tricky but her class is very doable! It might depend on your TA but papers were graded pretty harshly. Lecture/section were "optional", but make sure to watch her lectures to do well in the class. The textbook is also very helpful if you want to get an A in her class for sure.

Professor Mullin is the best. Despite this quarter being online and all lectures prerecorded, she is very enthusiastic and enjoyable when teaching. Most of your grade is composed of 3 open book quizzes and 2 essays. She is a bit tricky on the quizzes, but just read carefully. Also, go into her office hours! She's really nice to talk to!

Professor Dolly is a gem. She's so engaging and her lectures never got boring. There is a lot of reading for the class, and if you don't go to lecture and read, you won't do well. There are two papers and a midterm and final. The TA' s grade the papers relatively harsh, but are accessible for help. Midterm and final consist of multiple choice.

Not recommend at all. Both midterm and final are super hard

The lectures are amazing, but the exams and papers are challeging.

Dolly is awesome. She is super personable and it's difficult to get bored during her lectures. The class is mostly common sense stuff but you do need to read the book to fill in the lines. Her tests are said to be "tricky" but if you study and use reasoning you'll be able to get to the right answer. Essays are graded competitively.

2 papers, a midterm and final. Papers were ok depending on your TA. Midterm and final are based on the book so get ready to read. She doesn't test that much off the slides but does add some questions specifically from the lecture in her tests. My biggest advice is just be caught up with the readings.

Clearly knows what she's doing and gives great, interesting lectures. Don't be fooled though, the tests and papers are pretty hard even though the material seems easy. Your grade depends a lot on your TA because they grade your papers and they're super important. Super interesting class and Mullin really cares about her students.

Mullin is very knowledgeable in her field and is readily available outside of class when needed. She hosts a lot of helpful workshops during essay or exam time (Midterm, Final, 2 Essays). Her tests are application based so reading really matters, and even though lecture isnt mandatory you need to go because she doesnt post her slides online!

People hate on Dolly for having tricky tests but if you actually study and know your stuff the tests are pretty easy. Go through all the lecture notes (go to lecture!!) and all the readings and make sure you understand and can apply everything. Papers for both classes were a hit or miss with me.
