Fall 2017 - The review below gives really good insight to what the class is like and how it is structured. Professor Steen is so fucking nice. He responds to emails within the day, often within a few hours in my own personal experience. He is slightly boring in lecture but he really cares about whether or not his students learn and understand the material. He's very accommodating and understanding as well. I'd recommend taking this class, it wasn't too bad.

Spring 2019 - I had this class as an easy elective outside of my major, and this was the worst class ever!! This is the worst professor ever. He doesn't even have a syllabus for the class. He never talked about how he will grade us. He gave random assignments online, and he had a grader grade the assignments and she was harsh. Now, I saw my grade and got a B+. I took this class as an EASY A so imagine my surprise when I saw a B+. He never answers emails and when you go to office hours, he tells you to email him. I would never ever take him or any comm class ever again.

Professor Steen is an extremely nice guy but he is very scatter brained. He was rarely on time for class, rarely prepared and didnt give a good basis of what he expectations were of us or what we were supposed to be learning. He tried to keep the class interesting but it just never really worked. For a class about media that could be entertaining, he failed miserably. I wouldnt recommend taking him for this course unless you have to.
