i took comm 187 (journalistic ethics) jim is the kind of professor you'd want to get to know over a beer. you can tell he's a cool guy in the way he talks, presents himself, and knows his shit. his lectures were interesting, engaging, and entertaining since the topics are universally relatable and contemporary as well. his anecdotes on covering the oj simpson trial and the la riots make his professorship all the more credible. who better to learn the journalism industry from than the editor at large of the la times? take him. his midterm and final are straightforward. no gimmicks. just a few questions you choose to answer in short essay format. kinda like the law classes you take in the comm department. relevant, useful, not too difficult, but you need a good sense of analysis.

Professor is was one of the best professors I have had since being at UCLA. He is every down to earth. He understands students and you can tell that he is really there for his students. As far as the course goes, there is a midterm and final. Both are fairly straight forward. There are no surprises. Listen to his lectures. That is where most of his testing material will come from I feel like. The reading is a nice, easy read that will be helpful on the exams as a well. Great class.
