Spring 2020 - I really can’t say enough good things about Professor Dale. He was so kind, and so understanding about taking the class online during COVID-19 and made every effort possible to reduce our stress. The class consisted of online quizzes which he took the best 5 out of 7, one lab (he reduced the requirement from 2) and a final project. He ultimately made the final project optional because of the current situation with the protests, but it was just an extension of one of the labs and he was super flexible about the topic we chose because he really wanted us to pick a topic that was relevant to us and our career interests. His lectures were pretty engaging even for someone like me who isn’t super into this area of comm, and he recorded them in advance so we could watch them on our own time. I would highly recommended taking a class with Dale if you can, he’s probably the best professor I’ve had at UCLA.
