Great professor. Clearly loves what she teaches and her lectures are pretty helpful, although they don't always cover everything that the reading does. Don't skip lecture and use discussion section to clarify concepts.

The tests for this class were very similar to COMM 1. She gives you three options, then all of the above, and then A&C (For example). The group research project was very doable. The only downside was group members rarely participated so I did most of the project. For the project, make sure your discussion is very thoughtful and the end of the paper

No iClickers in lecture, but attending lecture highly recommended. Attendance is mandatory in section. She is a writer of the textbook, so you should buy it to read. Has extra credit opportunities. Test are fine as long as you know your terms. Two essays (5 pages). Overall loved this class and made me want to become a Comm major!

Mullin is amazing!I had her for two quarters both of which were 8ams and I never missed a lecture. She makes early classes manageable and entertaining! She is very clear and gives great examples. Her tests are very difficult but if you put in the work, you can do well. Readings are very important. You have to put in the work but I loved her classes

Fun, interactive lectures. Attendance is mandatory since most exam questions are based off the lectures. No iClicker, 2 papers, a midterm, and a final. Reading is supplemental and helpful for the little details on exams. Curve is pretty generous and will only help you succeed. Material is engaging and easy to pick up on with Dolly's lectures.

Her midterm and final are tough but she is really funny in the lectures. I failed my midterm and did an average on my paper so that I had to change my major. But overall she has good lectures and is a great professor.

GO TO LECTURE and take really clear, organized notes!! You have to know the material insanely well because her multiple choice style tests are tricky as hell. Reading is supplemental to lecture (80% lecture) but helpful, as it is repetitive. She wants you to do well so use her as a tool!

Lively professor; I enjoyed her lectures. She doesn't post lecture slides or notes online though so skipping lectures would put you at a serious disadvantage. Midterm & final exams were toughI came out of the exam feeling great but my grades said otherwise. I like that Mullin grades on a curve that will only help your grade though.

Mullin included personal stories and examples that livened up the class immensely. She is a great public speaker and is very clear. Make sure to take really good notes though on both the slides and especially her comments and examples. The textbook contains some of the info but not everything on exams. There are two 5pg papers,final is challenging.

Dolly Mullin is an amazing professor. Her lectures are entertaining and relatable. But as fun as she is her class is really hard. You have to be there in lecture every day to get specific notes that apply to the midterm and final. Be prepared to read a lot. Big tip: Take down notes of what she's saying and her in class examples.

Really awesome professor, lectures are very interesting and engaging. The class is honestly not that bad if you put in a decent amount of work. Make sure you discuss your paper ideas with your TA and ask them 2 read your thesis. Don't begin studying last minute for the midterm/final. Read the textbook and follow her study-guide and you'll do fine

Professor Mullin is a skilled lecturer and understands her students. She emphasizes information from lectures over reading, but both are required to get an A. Papers are tough depending on the TA, but very manageable. Tests are multiple choice and straightforward. There is little to no homework besides papers, reading and studying.

Don't take this class unless you are ready to write because her tests are tricky and her papers are really hard. You have to try hard in this class, it isn't a show up and pass, you have to read and study for the tests or else you're super screwed. Don't take this as a GE class, it will mess up your grade.

such a great professor. really engaging and energetic with great knowledge in the topic.

I loved Mullin for Comm1 and I loved her for Comm88. This class doesn't have as interesting material as Comm1 but she still has fantastic lectures. The research paper is really long but actually not that difficult to do. The midterm/final were really straightforward if you knew the study guide front to back. Go to class! Don't read, just study hard

I thought I did pretty well on all of my tests walking out of them, but I never ended up with the grades I had hoped for. She was a really interesting teacher, and was a great communicator. For tests make sure you have the definitions down, this is one of the most vital things to this class

Dolly is overall a great professor. Her classes are not an easy A, you just have to work for them. Go to ALL lectures, she doesn't post them online and they will be on her tests, and do ALL the reading - a good majority of the test questions are from the reading. You learn a lot, and she's fair!

LOVED Dr. Mullin! She made the 8 AM lecture interesting & engaging. Very knowledgeable about Comm & has lots of insight. You really need to put in work if you want an A but most students WANT to work hard because she really inspires that type of work ethic.

LOVE DR. MULLIN, she is kind, helpful, clear, organized and demanding of her students. a true challenge. i visit her in office hours and she clarifies wonderfully. would recommend!

Professor Mullin made my 8am bearable. Everyone says the Comm1 is hard, but I feel the difficulty is exaggerated. She is a great professor, super engaged, clear, and concise. She tells funny stories too. She's overall great!!

Professor Mullin is a cheerful and engaging lecturer. She's fairly clear, and the examples she gives to illustrate different concepts are very relevant, and can help on the tests. The papers she assigns are a bit tough keep in mind, this is a 5 unit class. Would take a class with her again.

In my opinion, Mullin is a terrific professor. The class definitely requires work but if you go to lecture/take good notes/read you are good. Only really difficult part of Comm 89 was the research paper.

Prof Mullin was a great teacher. Missed 2 lectures before the midterm and still got a 96. Not as impossible as everyone makes it seem. You won't feel prepared for the tests no matter how hard you study, but the tests are not bad even with minimal studying.

Mullin is a great Prof - her tests get a reputation for being tricky but if you understand all the concepts its actually pretty straightforward. Textbook isn't really necessary but GO TO CLASS!! She doesn't post lecture anywhere so you need to be there to get notes. And she's really nice!! Old school humor and lectures at a very reasonable pace
