Tests aren't a test of whether or not you know the concepts, they are a gamble on whether or not you word them in a way that pleases the TA...

Comment:
This persuasion course prof. turned to the class over a dozen times (no exag.) asking if he spelled a word correctly. He persuaded us he was beyond his capabilities. The oddball concepts about persuasion, several random silly named theories such as "Theory of social attractiveness," Duh, there's a whole quarter worth of hours we'll never recoup.

If you care about your GPA do not take Suman! Neither he nor his TA would respond timely to emails until days later. I thought this would be an interesting class, I was wrong. Suman is another UCLA Professor who doesnt care about his students. The pattern repeats itself when they train future professors. Too much ego....

He was my favorite professor! You HAVE to show up if you want to pass because that's the only way you can obtain the lecture material since there are no online notes. He explains things very clearly and tells you what to look out for on the tests so just pay attention and you should be okay. -No electronics. -Tests take full 2/3hrs b/c essays

Avoid taking this class or a class with Suman if at all possible. Expect to read tons and tons of articles and books. Do not miss a class- everything from lecture is completely different than the assigned readings.

Comm 10 has very interesting course material, but has super difficult tests. Involves lots of pure memorization, which considering the amount of material given at EACH LECTURE, is pretty impossible unless you have a gift from god. Meh.

The guy is very funny and the things he says isn't hard to grasp. The TA (hector) sucks and not helpful AT ALL. If you can grasp alot of info in short amount of time and write detailed answers for exams, take the intro class! but if you can, don't take it with hector...

Comment:
I just came out of the final and I was literally shaking. Long exam that takes the full three hours of non-stop writing. This class is a horrible thing to do to people, but on the good side, you can easily guess what you need to know and what will be on the exam. Don't procrastinate before the midterm and final! allow 3 days of study time non-stop!

Comment:
Dwells in pop culture and mass quantity, so is a psuedo-intellectual. Deliberately does not offer lecture notes so you'll have to find someone who took the class before and use that person's notes. TA Sniezek sucked, since she didn't offer any detailed explanation, only her own opinions on things. Surprised he got a PhD.

Vast amount of info. Tests are long and are very detailed. Professor is not available for assistance, and the TA (Hector) does not respond to emails nor is he helpful. Took 28+ pages of notes, and still came out with a C. It's a class to weed people out of the major. This class changed my perspective on Comm. If possible, take w/ diff prof & TA.

Prof. is cool. TA's are iffy. Too much information to grasp. Extremely hard to do well in this intro class unless you take scrupulous notes and MEMORIZE EVERYTHING! way too detailed to truly enjoy the class and lectures.

Intro materials aren't hard. The only thing is the QUANTITY. Man! you need to memorize EVERYTHING to get A. If you give an average answer (even tho you answered right) you only gonna get 1/2 credit. EXTRAORDINARY DETAILS are needed for A...I don't like it. Average B- pretty much every quarter.

Lecture is fun, but the exams are very hard and you have to go to lecture to pass this class. Lot of times, small things are on the exam, need to know almost everything.
