Overall, this class was so much work. Yes, I did get an A, but it was such a pain. Second of all, I literally came out of the final feeling horrible. I was sure I had messed up the essay questions, and I was scared of getting a B-! My best tip is to go to your TA, and really get to know them (after all, they grade your essay). In all though, this class is really useless. While the information is kinda fun to learn, it's just mindless regurgitation to weed out prospective Comm majors. I was really scared all my work would be for a terrible grade, but I guess hard work really does pay off. Good luck!

I would not recommend this class as a GE, but if you’re looking to be a Comm major, it’s not as bad as it’s made out to be. The information is actually really interesting and the lectures are engaging. The hard part is the amount of information you need to accurately memorize for the tests. It’s super important to take really clear and detailed notes, which is tough. If you can do that though and study way in advance, you’ll be totally fine

I would not take this class unless you are sure you want to major in Communications. The content is very straightforward and easily digestible but the testing is difficult. Not a lot of understanding but mostly memorization of various lists and examples.

This class is very difficult and I would not recommend taking it unless you are interested in being a comm major or really interested in the study of communication. However, I found the lectures pretty interesting. This class gives a ton of work so it is important that you stay on schedule with the readings and notes. You also definitely need to go to all of the lectures and take careful notes, but don't need to go to discussion because attendance does not count at all towards your grades. I went to the first two discussions and didn't go for the rest of the quarter. I finished with an A- in this class but I put a tonnn of time in to studying and doing the work for this class.

This class is much easier than comm 10 and he is much nicer/ less of a jerk than in comm 10. If you come to class, take good notes and watch the movies for the midterm/final you should be fine and get an A. That said this class is really boring. I did not feel engaged in the subject matter at all. Suman doesn't use any tech in upper div class and the zero tech policy from comm 10 still stands in all his other courses. It's pretty straightforward to succeed in this class, but it is still Suman. If you can't be in class every day and take note of everything he says you won't do well. If you go to class, take notes and watch the material required you will be fine.

I definitely wouldn't take this class if you are just considering comm or wanting to take it as a GE, but as a weeder class, it was not as bad as I expected. I did take it during the summer and it was my only class so this obviously heavily influences my experience, but if you can I would take this during the summer or during a quarter that is not as busy/hard. To succeed in this class, you need to really commit a lot of time to it. There were podcast lectures, 4 videos a week, 10 readings and about 10 chapters of a book to read before the midterm/final and given the 6 week schedule a lot does get compacted so I was doing work for this class every day. However, the tests were fair and the content was interesting. As per everyone's advice, office hours are helpful, so go to that and go to discussions! My TA rewarded the students who were at the last discussion session some hints/guidance towards the essay questions on the final so it does pay off to go! The tests are mostly about memorization and understanding the concepts, so flashcards were for me the best way to study. If you know everything, you can easily get through the first portion of the exams which is just defining terms and sometimes providing examples. The faster you go through that, the more time you have for the essay questions. For that, my TA said he isn't instructed to give full points to anyone, but he gave full points to whoever wrote a lot so I recommend studying a lot to be able to finish the short answer and be able to write a lot for the essay. As for the extra essay outside of the tests, they really do care you follow the rubric so make sure to follow the structure of: clear intro, argument + rebuttal (x3 or however many paragraphs you have). I got a lot of points knocked off for not giving a rebuttal to each argument so don't repeat my mistake! Overall class is not impossible and Professor Suman is a fair professor so just study as much as you can and do all the work.

Took it online, literally don't think I would have done as well if it was in person. Just a miserable class to take and information is so hard to conceptualize because the lectures are so dense. If it wasn't a comm requirement I would stay far far away

Professor Suman makes a big deal about communications employing a factual scientific method at the start of his course and then neglects it throughout. He regularly teaches personal opinion as fact, almost entirely through anecdotes, many of which appear in poor taste. The grading on tests was largely arbitrary but the class is perhaps worth taking if you are interested in looking more critically at the world around you.
