Winter 2023 - Comm10 is definitely a tough class. I wouldn’t recommend taking if your not a comm major as the workload is very large. However, Tor made this class very enjoyable. He’s super sweet and helped me understand the material and take great notes. There is an in person midterm and final (which require a lot of studying), as well as a 6-7 page paper. He’s not a harsh grader (on the paper). In order to do well you need to take HEAVY notes during both the lecture and the discussion. Do not skip class as it is not recorded. Stay on top of the weekly readings and take heavy notes. The content up to the midterm is easier (it’s about women and men in relationships) than the content in the second half of the quarter (tv, radio, hollywood, mass media). Overall, Tor is the best TA. Would definitely recommend
