I was lucky enough to take this class in person! The class was much smaller than I expected. We had two groups, one with 3 members, the other with five. We got to meet Suman once a week as we worked on our respective group projects. My group’s experiment tested people’s helping behavior by dropping fake money on campus! We gathered data, wrote a research paper, and performed an oral presentation at the end of the quarter.

Initially, I was nervous to take the class because there were no reviews, and I did not know anyone in the Communications department. I didn’t know what to expect, so it was a thoroughly present surprise to find fun and friendship through this class! Some of my group members and I even remained friends after the class was over.

I also loved being tasked to apply the concepts from Comm 10 to everyday life on campus. A pleasant experience all around!!

Prof. Suman is incredibly helpful throughout this class, and it's really interesting to learn how to conduct a Communication Studies experiment. I really enjoyed creating and conducting the study alongside my partners. I would highly recommend this class as an accompaniment to COMM10!

Due to the pandemic, this class was pretty different from its usual course. Nonetheless, I worked together with a group to complete the research paper. Suman was very helpful and we met with him every week on zoom to update him on our progress. Was very interesting and I learned a lot. Would highly recommend!
