12/21/2023		Zelaya is cool. Grading is not super harsh and her expectations and lectures are very straight forward. Weekly/Biweekly open note quizzes, 3 small projects on what youve been reading, and 3 unit tests (all open note). Basically gives you the answers if you go to lecture, she goes in depth on each topic. Highly recommend.

12/20/2023		Dr. Zelaya is a fine professor. I didn't find her COMM304 lectures particularly engaging. For a class that was 1 hour and 15 minutes, it felt like it dragged on. She is very passionate about communication research, but I felt like her lectures were not the most engaging. It did not help that most of the class was not engaged either. Overall, COMM304 was not hard. Not too many assignments with three online exams. She sometimes took attendance through in-class activities.
