This class was interesting especially because it was so applicable to everyday life. I learned a lot about how to manage conflict across different people and settings so in that sense, what I learned was useful. The tests really do measure your understanding of the readings and lecture, so office hours are an especially great resource to take advantage of.

However, I will say that the lectures themselves can sometimes go off topic, leaving us behind in the syllabus and with a lack of clarity regarding the actual material (the Professor likes to rant). The course breakdown was on a points-based system and exams and a final project were your entire grade. Extra credit was offered here and there as 1-point assignments, but these do not make a significant difference. Exams are graded harshly. The final paper grade depends on the TA for that quarter. The textbook readings are assigned weekly to match lecture but they are not the most engaging content.

I understand that this class is a practicum course, so if this is the requirement you want to fill, I would recommend other courses but overall this class was a generally positive experience and easily manageable if you are taking 3+ classes.

I took Comm 110 with her, and I loved it.
It was an amazing experience to be able to explore the concepts of gender and communications, and her assignments were not a heavy workload at all, but still managed to get across some big ideas.
