Fall 2016 - Lamberson is arguably one of the most intelligent individuals on campus. He primarily taught PhD students at MIT and other top-tier universities. His studies on social networks are complex and very noteworthy. At first, I didn't care for him, mostly because his tests are pretty difficult and are meant to trick you. But this class seems too basic for him to teach, as you can tell when he tries to explain the basics of statistics. There is a group project that requires you to do your own "experiment," coming up with a hypothesis and elaborating on your fake results. There are a few homework assignments, as well as a midterm and final. If you have a good TA, then the grading is pretty fair. Lamberson cares about his students. He's willing to help people outside of his office hours, which I respect. It just requires more studying than other Comm classes to obtain a good grade.

Winter 2017 - This class was absolutely terrible- hands down the worst class I have ever taken at UCLA. To say that it is unorganized is an understatement. During our last section immediately before the final, the TA literally stood at the front of the class and gave conflicting answers to questions being asked by about two people at the front of the room, while the rest of the class was talking loudly amongst themselves.... I guess they thought they would gain more from that than from the class itself (which is arguably true). The professor is a nice person, but the class is just awful....
