COMM 1800

It's a good class, and you could probably get a B with never studying, but you will have to put in some effort for an A especially on the second test. Kemp is a great professor, he's been everywhere and his stories are fascinating, Overall I learned a lot and enjoyed the class!

Bob Kemp is a hilarious professor, I recommend taking this class just to experience him-- the myth and the legend. The coursework is easy-- first test is a breeze, second is harder, final is inbetween. Do the discussions online and the quizzes, the questions on the test come straight from the quizzes. Kemp wrote the book and it's pretty much the same thing in the powerpoint and lecture... but go to class since he uses an i-clicker and you need the participation points.

Bob Kemp. Enough said. Take the class, if just to have him as a professor.

Professor Kemp's lectures are a waste of time, but you need to attend them to earn participation points. Show up to class, do all of the busy work, and try not to fall asleep.

Professor Kemp is really easy. The class has gotten harder since, but it's still a relatively straightforward course. Make sure to study hard for the second exam. As long as you don't take the class lightly, you'll get a solid A.

If it weren't for the iclicker, no one would ever go to class. Professor Kemp wrote the book and the lectures are literally straight from the book. The class is required to get into comm school and I think that's the only reason anyone would ever take it. It's pretty easy.

Ol' Bob Kemp has definitley tried to make his class harder and requires attendance now with clicker questions but with minimal work and cramming before exams you can get an A. Just study the terms and flip through the chapters before the tests.

COMM 1800 is not a good course. It is basically a giant vocabulary list that takes a whole semester to get through. There is a ton of unnecessary busy work through the textbook publisher's website that is mandatory and makes up part of the final grade. It isn't worth enough to buffer a final grade but it is enough to force a grade down, especially since an A is cut off at 94%. This course is a prerequisite for the School of Commerce, but it is not a good course and should only be taken if absolutely necessary.

Very easy class. Tests are basically vocab tests based on the highlighted terms in the textbook, which means going to lecture isn't really necessary. Problem sets and projects are a joke.

Kemp knows what he's talking about and is usually a good lecturer. The class can be a bit annoying at times, though. The tests are straight out of the textbook, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Overall, if you are pre-comm, the content will be fairly interesting. And if not, it will probably be pretty boring.
