Amazing prof, wish I could be in his class in person. Weekly assignments but very simple if you read the instructions carefully. You get out of the lectures what you want, not necessary but honestly, you can learn a lot ab yourself in classes like this. Most of your mark is from the report and video, but no exam which is really helpful.

You're guaranteed to get an A in this class. His lectures are slightly disorganized (he goes off on tangents) but he clearly knows his stuff and has lots to share. Great guy. He marks you on whether you've done the work, not the quality. So if you do the bare minimum you'll probably do well. Very, very easy class. I kinda learned some stuff...

By far one of the most genuine and authentic profs I have ever had. The lectures were informative and addressed genuine issues in the world while remaining interesting and interactive. I cannot recommend this professor enough!

The assignments in this class were always super clear and generally opinion based questions. I don't know anyone who didn't get an A+ in this class. Plus, Dr. Strangelove's lectures were always so engaging. He is super passionate about what he teaches and is always entertaining during class. This class had the fastest hour long lectures I've had.

I read some pretty nasty thing about Dr. Strangelove before being in his class. I was weary but stayed in the class anyways. Boy was I surprised. I had him online so Im not sure what hes like in person but for the few lecture I actually attended live, it really feels like hes talking directly to you despite the 100s of people in the class. Good.

Dr. Strangelove was easily the best professor I had during my years at the University of Ottawa. He was extraordinarily knowledgeable, engaging, funny and a great teacher. If you put the work in, you get good grades. He is also compassionate that students have struggles outside of the realm of school, and is accommodating to individual needs.

I do not know a single person in the class who didn't get an A+. He's an odd prof with a different personality, but he is EXTREMELY intelligent. I tagged him as a professor who gives a lot of homework and a lot of papers but trust me it's simple and worth it. Weekly papers about life and applying communication to everyday situations. BEST EVER

BEST PROF EVER!!! Easy marker, and care about his students. He makes instructions clear and easy to follow, and he discusses each field report at the beginning of the lectures to make sure we understand the report. Show up and follow the instructions, and you will get a high mark for sure.

Dr. Strangelove is a great professor. The only people who don't take away something from this class are the ones who don't try to. You have to come in with an open mind, and if you do, you can learn a lot. The workload is a little heavy since there's a lot of writing but follow the instructions and you should be good.

There's no clear direction for his class. If you want an easy A, sure, go ahead, take it. If you actually want to learn about media, stay away. Lectures are ridiculous. He rambles on about his radical views that have nothing to do with the class. You don't need to show up to do well. All late work is a zero; he doesn't accept any excuses.

Dr. Strangelove is an excellent professor, especially for the online setting. He encourages you to think outside the box and truly engage with the material in a matter that is meaningful to you. As long as you follow his super clear guidelines, you will do great! I really hope to have him again in the future.

The GOAT fr. Considerable amount of writing throughout the semester, however, the project is all about yourself (and who doesn't love writing about themselves?!). Extremely caring and a super fun, enjoyed the upbeat and energetic nature of his lectures. I feel like if I was to run into any of my profs at burning man festival it would be him #avibe
