Course Comments A Computer Science student on Dec 26, 2017

Weekly assignments, clear faults in course structure, difference in teaching styles. There are too many reasons why this course is not a good course, the topics covered don't feel like they were related to properly to have the intend teachings on 1-1 communication

I took this course only because I had to. Honestly, though, courses like this depend completely on the prof you get. I got a very chill prof so I had the course easy. But hearing from friends who had different profs tho...it's a different story. The discussions that happen in this course are sometimes very interesting; if you're someone who likes psychology, you won't be one of the students that sleep in class. Although the long lecture tends to lose my focus occasionally.

I would bet this depends heavily on the prof, but as far as communication courses go, this was a pretty manageable course. I got an 84% with Nicholas Balaisis. It was kinda of interesting too. The writing/journals was/were kinda tedious though, but the group presentation was fun!

The difficulty of the course varies a lot between different profs. In the worst case scenario, be prepared to write weekly journals and quizzes, and waste weekends on weird mandatory field trips.

Depending on the prof this can be a very good course. I found it interesting and useful as it teaches concepts in communication that can be applied in the everyday life. Easy course too, just had one weekly journal and no midterm nor final.

Very, very easy. But also very, very dry. One two page double spaced journal per week of easy content. Also, a small quiz on the bold words in the text book per week. You have to do one presentation in the term, it is also very easy.

Don't take this. It's way to much work. If you're in math, go take ENGL 109 or SPCOM 223 RIGHT NOW for your communication requirement. If you're in SPCOM, take whatever else you can, just not this.

Personally, writing is an extremely long and laborious task, making the weekly 2 page journals a challenge. However, most would likely find it quite easy. Stay on prof's good side, and you'll get easy 100s.

It was interesting to learn about linguistics and interpersonal communication & the course wasn't difficult for mathies!

This is a great intro course for SPCOM. You must attend class, but you'll want to. The small class size allows for role plays, and a more intimate learning atmosphere. The content is interesting, and is not very hard.

Try not to take this class. Please just do yourself a favor. Don't do it. You don't want to do group projects with people that don't show up. You don't want to be partnered with someone for the entire term and have your marks hinge on whether or not they bother to show up for those damned "interviews". Don't do it to yourself. Only saving grace is there is no final exam.

THE BIRDIEST COURSE I'VE EVER TAKEN. No midterm, no exam. The marks are just based on weekly journals (which take about an hour to do) and one presentation. The prof was so nice and helps you understand. There are also like 4 vocab quizzes but they're not hard. The material needed for this course is a textbook and a courseware package, but I wouldn't recommend getting either. The courseware is basically useless (only needed for like 5% of your presentation). The textbook is used to study for vocab and for your journals but you can make a deal with one of your classmates to share a textbook (maybe 1 textbook for the whole class?)

Compared to the other Math courses I had to take, this course was certainly much easier to handle. The main source of work for this course is the weekly journals and the presentation you are asked to prepare on one of the topics about communication. I generally like the idea behind the course; it demystifies communication and clarifies different topics related to communication that most Math students tend to abstract out, or not think about often. Overall, I enjoyed the course, and would recommend it to anyone who wants a fairly light course that can be interesting if you are willing to put a little bit of effort into it.

The course was an overview of many different areas in spcom. There are a few written assignments, one presentation, and weekly quizzes. Textbok readings were useful.

Super chill guy; comes with a cup of coffee in hand every class. He also starts the class half an hour late every time which is really nice (It was an 8:30 am class). You'll pretty much get a decent grade for not doing much in his class. Be happy if you get him.

Very nice as a person, and has cut down dramatically on the work she assigns, and didn't use the $100 textbook. However, very pushy in left political views, and forced the course onto the topic of aboriginals too much, and unclear sometimes in expectations. Overall, a prof with both heavy pros and cons.
