I have the course reader for this class. Text me if you need it **********

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.

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!

Selling the course reader for cheap! Text me at **********.
Good luck!

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.

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! :)

Loved this class!

I have the textbook for this class as it is still required to read especially because you need to write essays on the material.

selling for cheap. **********

It was his first time teaching this course (at least in a while?), and it was still amazing!
Very organized, great reading selections (and not an overwhelming amount), very fair tests and grading.
And more than that, his lectures are fun! Interesting to listen to.

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 love Bryant. I took 118 with him in fall and then 100 during winter. He is such a chill guy, he's funny and really approachable. 118 is really interesting content and Bryant is in his element. For 100 its a little different since it was Bryant's first time teaching the class. I think 100 had a really bad reputation before Bryant started teaching it and was supposed to be boring and dry but Bryant managed to make it interesting and enjoyable. Plus he assigns hardly any reading, no papers for 100, only one for 118 and the exams are super easy. 10/10 professor, definitely take him if you can
