Professor Bryant is the BEST communications professor I have had thus far. I took evolution of interpersonal communication with him and learned so much. It was not a bullshit class, but one where you actually need to go to class. And trust me going to class is not a chore with him, but actually very rewarding and fun. Also, he is very helpful during office hours and just a really chill professor in general. He adds a touch of humor during his lectures which makes things so much more pleasant than other professors who take themselves way too seriously. It is evident that he has a passion for the material he teaches and really tries to clarify all students' questions. Definitely take this course!

I took this class in Winter 2015 and Bryant is an amazing professor. Comm 100 had a bad reputation and I was nervous to take him but he really makes the material interesting and engaging. He cares about student learning and when I went to his office hours he went above and beyond to explain things to me.

Grading was pretty straightforward and the exams weren't difficult. They were short answer form and even though you are responsible for the readings, he won't be annoying and test you on the most minuscule things but rather he focuses on conceptual understanding.

10/10 would recommend

I took him for Language and Music and for Interpersonal communications. Everything is from an anthropology perspective (which i personally do not care for). You have to go to lecture for this class and take really good notes. Pay attention to everything he writes on the board. I avoided doing the readings (with an exception of a few) because they just confused me more. I would def take his interpersonal class but his lang and music class was confusing. There is a midterm 30% Final 30% and paper 40% (8-10 pages). Go to office hours he's really cool and approachable.

Overall, this is the best professor that you can take this class with. There is a lot of material that needs to be memorized for both the midterm and the final, and for the final we had to apply some material from the first half of the class. Consistency and memorization is key in passing this class, because other than the two tests there are two papers that as long as you write about an article you will get full credit. The course reader is a requirement and will be your best friend for the quarter- I am also selling it **********
good luck everyone! :)

bryant is a great fucking guy and this is a great class. 100 is supposed to be hard, but it was honestly really easy. the average for our midterm was a 92. the midterm was 100% memorization of the material and the final was memorization and a little bit of application of concepts from the first half of the class. the readings are kind of dense but honestly not necessary. he tells you exactly what you need to know in his lectures. some of the concepts are really difficult to understand on your own, but if you listen/ask questions in class you'll get it. he's also super, super helpful during office hours, and he's a really chill, funny guy. highly recommend bryant.

This class was a major requirement for Communication Studies so I had to take it. Professor Bryant is a funny and down to earth guy. His lectures may be sometimes boring, but the content is interesting. You have two exams (midterm & final) as well as two papers (3 page double spaced if i recall correctly) . Literally the two papers you can do hours before class and they will give you full credit. There are a lot of readings, but usually he only tests you on the concepts in lecture so pay more attention to lecture. Readings are just supplemental. Remember to take good notes in discussion and don't be afraid to attend other TA discussions if yours isn't as good. If you work hard you will get a good grade!

Bryant is a cool guy who gives entertaining lectures. You can tell he's into what he studies, and even if I'm not into it, at least I don't fall asleep in his class. He's really into the social science-y side of COMM vs. interpretational, so just know that the class is designed around that framework. Bryant is very smart and sometimes the way he talks makes alot of assumptions about prior knowledge. He didn't always make connections as clear I needed them to be, but if you raise your hand and ask him to go over something he already said, he will- and he does a great job. It is clear that he's a professor who wants students to actually understand the material, not just memorize it.

If you pay attention to his lectures and really study his slides, you will be ok on exams. The course reader wasn't really necessary, but it helps ALOT since most of what is on the test is what overlaps from readings and lecture material. It's good to review with. Bryant doesn't try to trick you on exams.

Anyone is better than the old guy Kelly who used to teach this class but Bryant comes across as an arrogant jerk who rubs his knowledge of obscure subject matter in your face

I took this class fall 2018. If you go to class, you’ll have no problem for the tests. There are 2 exams worth 30% each and a final 8-page paper worth 40%. The TA gave us a study guide for the exams, but truthfully they weren’t that helpful and a lot of the stuff she didn’t put on the study guide was tested. She’s a pretty lenient grader though and always available to meet or chat (she’s the only TA I’ve ever had who prefers text). Bryant is a funny and knowledgeable professor but his slides are often way more wordy and confusing than the concepts, so make sure to go to class to get clarification. Overall it’s a good class and I’d take it again.

I’m selling my course reader for $45. It’s in like new condition. Text me at ********** if interested!

Had no problem with the professor, just make sure you get a competent TA. I'm currently on week seven and have only been to two sections due to the TA canceling 5 discussions. Otherwise, count on learning the material yourself or go to office hours.
