This was honestly the worst class I have taken at UCLA. His tests were impossible because they were completely subjective. I got a B-, and before this class I had straight As at UCLA. 7 people out of 200 got As, the averages on the midterm and final were low Cs. He required us to buy 2 books, and each cost over $100! Take this class with another professor.

I whish I would have read this page before I decided to be in Marashi's Comm 10 section. His lectures are extremly unstructured and they did not prepare me the slightest for the very hard exams. Marashi does not seem very interested in his students and this class was a huge disappointment. Avoid!

Fall 2020 - I had a 4.0 before I took Suman. He only grades on 1 paper, 1 midterm, and the final. His test are all short answer and essay and are frankly ridiculously subjective. I requested the TA go over the test with me and he kept telling me that some of my answers were right even though he had marked them wrong. It was incredibly frustrating. My advice, avoid Suman at all costs if you can. I'll never take another class with him again.
