Winter 2025 - I highly recommend professor Dale. He is very passionate about the class topic and is an overall cool and funny guy. I took this class to fulfill my comm tech core and I’m so glad I did. We had 2 labs we got to choose, 6 question multiple choice weekly quizzes based on what he covered in lecture and one exam that he provided a study guide for. He provides the readings that are pretty do-able. Originally we were supposed to have two exams but he decided that if you felt good about your midterm, you didn’t need to take the final because he will drop the lowest score. Even if you aren’t a comm major, this class was extremely fair in terms of the content and workload.
