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.

Winter 2021 - Professor Dale is one of my favorite professors I've had at UCLA so far. Even though I wasn't extremely interested in the class when registering for it, his passion and enthusiasm when teaching the subject made my learning an enjoyable experience. I loved the way this class was set up. Students have up to two weeks to complete each weekly quiz. Out of the five or so labs that were given, you only have to complete two of them for credit. On top of that, you have a lot of freedom when it comes to what to write about in your labs, which I also really liked. No midterm or final exam. Instead, you write a final paper at the end of the quarter. Also, lectures are asynchronous. I came into the class just aiming to fulfill my degree requirements and then came out of it learning some pretty interesting stuff. Highly recommend taking this class!

Spring 2019 - This class is mislabed, it is actually called: Science of Language. This class is awesome, it consists of weekly quizzes, 2 labs, and a final project. Professor Dale is probably the only good comm professor at UCLA. He is hilarious, kind, very helpful, quick at emails, and always wanting to see his students succeed. This is my third class with him. Take him, you will not regret it.

Winter 2022 - Considering I did not have any coding or computer science experience before this class, I was nervous to take it. That being said, Professor Dale made this class very enjoyable and manageable. This class was comprised of two lab assignments, almost weekly quizzes, and a final project that is pretty open-ended.
