Newton is one of the best professors in the department. His Comm 187 class is interesting every day. Exams are straight from the lectures and reading. Nothing overwhelming and your own perspective is allowed in conjunction with the material learned. This is a great class for any student to take - totally worth your time.

Newton is the best professor I have had in my three years here. He's engaging, highly approachable, extremely relaxed when speaking and very knowledgable. Basically, he's the kind of person that will keep you in your seat willingly for a three hour lecture.

There's a midterm and a final, both written, and both focused on his lectures. The reading is usually short and always enjoyable, and he comments on every single reading. Fantastic class.

Professor is was one of the best professors I have had since being at UCLA.

He is every down to earth. He understands students and you can tell that he is really there for his students.

As far as the course goes, there is a midterm and final. Both are fairly straight forward. There are no surprises. Listen to his lectures. That is where most of his testing material will come from I feel like. The reading is a nice, easy read that will be helpful on the exams as a well.

Great class.
