Quarter: Summer 2015
Grade: B
Jan. 29, 2016

This is the only class he does a decent job of teaching. It is a ton of info and the tests will cover all of it. Summer is easier and has less required reading/topics. If you are a transfer student, this class will be a lot of review. If you are Fresh/Soph, this class will be a lot of work but it is required.

I took comm 10 and definitely LOVED this class. In fact, I decided to major in Communication study after this class.

COMM 10 is difficult indeed. But if you really go to lectures and take notes(by taking notes I mean you probably need to keeping writing all the time, and there's no slides you can refer to so make sure you ask Suman everything you are not clear about), and really spend time on readings and take notes when you do the reading, you will be good. The paper was not difficult, I thought I didn't do well on that but it turned that I got an A- for my paper. Overall I got an A.

I absolutely LOVED comm 10 with suman!
It is difficult, but it really helps if you have notes from someone who took the class before, so you can follow along with his lectures without having to divide your time between listening and writing so much. (Email me (*************), I sell my notes for $10)
The concepts are really interesting, and tie in with the rest of the comm major.
Plus, talking about relationships and interpersonal comm? so great!
Just go to lecture, do the readings, and you'll do fine!
(acronyms and other mnemonic devices work really well in remembering the lists of things)

I took Suman for Comm 10.

The material in this class was very interesting. He would always try to add funny or interesting examples to illustrate the concepts. However in order to get a good grade you must study a lot!!!

There is a huge amount of reading that you must do for this class and it is all tested on. He allows you to have open notes for the readings but you still must be relatively familiar with the information if you want to finish in the short time period.

The short answer questions were pretty straight forward however you must be familiar with all the different terms he mentions in class.

The essay was graded pretty hard but I think that might just depend on your TA

Overall I would recommend the class if your willing to put in the work to get a good grade. It was a super interesting class that hardly ever got you bored and Suman is a great lecturer.
