This is not your average group communication. It isn't like group communication class I have ever taken. I felt like I was in a science class, not a communication class. The material of this class really disappointed me and Bryant's lectures are way too fast. He needs to slow down, and he doesn't explain things very clearly. He also has an arrogance to him that I did not find appealing either. Overall, I would not recommend taking this class or professor. But on the flip side, I do know some people who absolutely love him. So, it really is a matter of taste.

Kelly's lecture are okay. Not the most interesting nor boring. The reader is pretty easy to read, not too long, and interesting enough. His exams are multiple choice but he tends to trick you with the answers so know the readings. He slightly off-putting in person, which makes it hard to ask for help on the essay. The essay is the usual five pager, with the prompt more or less spelling out the essay for you.
