COMM 2003

Decent lectures, not that interesting, but bearable. The class is graded on homework, final group project, exams, labs, participation, and take-home quizzes. The class itself isn't difficult; however, Professor Schuff grades harshly, taking off very nitty-gritty points. The homework is not difficult. There is no rubric that we can see on our end until graded, so there's a bunch of stuff in the rubric that was not mentioned in the directions of the HW. Schuff grades HW as he sees fit, with little to no room for explanations. The class itself has so many labs that it's ambiguous as to what will be on the exams, since it's only the "concepts" of the labs. He gives us a study guide, but it is of very little help. As for the take-home quizzes, they are super easy with readings corresponding to that week's unit. For participation, it's fine because he asks about readings and ideas. Overall, the class itself is a little mundane. If you can take with another professor, go for it, but Schuff will do the job.
