Fall 2021 - This review is actually for Comm 168 with Biagioli. Bruh this class was hard lowkey. The breakdown was 30% midterm 40% final and 30% reading reflections. The reading reflections were ~300 word responses based on that week's reading. While the reading itself was not too long/hard, the professor was extremely unclear with his expectations. At the beginning of the quarter he framed these reflections as reading summaries. He also never gave us heads up about the due dates or anything which were always incorrect on CCLE. I eventually figured out what he was looking for in the reflections during week 5 (I started using the IRAC method) and started getting 3/3. The final was also very unreasonable. It was a take home final (open for 24 hours ) and it literally took me like 8 hours. The professor made himself available for the first 30 minutes the test was open and after that said that he would be unreachable. Overall this class was not too bad, but I just wish that he had been more transparent and explained things better for us
