Belcher was a great TA! He is really enthusiastic and liked to keep discussions on topic, and he doesn't grade unfairly hard. The lectures can be boring/repetitive, but it is still worth it, especially after the 2008 Election.

good class- simple material and freedman is a good lecturer. Take this class for a comprehensive but basic overview of media and politics

good class, fun info, pretty easy, although freedman tends to repeat info a lot. go to lectures and take good notes and you should be fine.

great class, his lectures are awesome, his tests are fair, steve was a great TA...well designed class with interesting material

Freedman makes the lecture itself very enjoyable. This class involves a ton of reading, and by the end of the semester, most people have stopped doing all of it. Two good-sized papers. Midterms aren't bad.

be sure to get justin peck-- his sections are hilarious and he is extremely chill and never runs over. he also really does a good job of going over the class info while still incorporating new current events

Do not take. WAY overrated. If you do take it, don't both buying the textbook. And go to class.

Professor Freedman is a very good lecturer, and the course material is interesting. There is a lot of reading assigned, but you don't have to do it if you go to class. There are two papers, neither of which are too difficult. Overall the class is interesting and pretty easy, I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in the subject.

Great Class!

Fantastic professor. You end up learning a lot.
