Mike is a good professor. You need a 95 or higher for an A. The scom final is just really hard and he does really help too much with that. Funny, down to earth guy tho.

He's a funny dude and is really laid back. Had one test and the final and two group presentations. Not bad at all just go over the powerpoints before the tests. I would take him again

This course is a pretty easy A. Only tests you have are the midterm and final which are both hard so read the book. He's not very strict on attendance. Overall, Mike is a cool guy, really funny!

Not very clear when everything is due. Not a good teacher or grader. ONLY WENT OVER HALD THE MATERIAL FOR THE FINAL (which is a final across all com classes so none of us knew a lot of the material) don't take despite the other good reviews! I've heard he has gotten worse over the years and I believe it

Funniest professor ever. Very laid back, but knows what he's talking about. As long as you pay attention and try you will get an A. Attendance is not mandatory, but it is helpful to go.

Mike was great. Didn't know the names of any students in my class, made fun of people for such random things. One of the easiest professors, you'd be stupid not to take him.

Mike's class is definitely a breeze. No homework besides studying for two tests and working with groups for the two presentations. He is an easy grader on presentations but tests are difficult. He gives a study guide but they aren't much help. The tests took my grade down to a B but he is very easy going and class is easy.

One of the easiest GCOM professors out there. Very easy grader and there is no homework whatsoever throughout the semester. Attendance isn't mandatory and there isn't a reason to show up honestly. TAKE GULOTTA!!!

Only one test and a final. 2 group projects, you get to pick your topic and your presentation date. Really easy grader. Really funny guy, very personable, has hilarious stories. Gives a study guide for test and final exam. Easy A if you do what you're supposed to.

Gulotta was not very helpful in preparing us for the exams. Exams were very detail oriented and often didn't reflect much of what we learned in class. We learned a lot of useless information, but the guest lecturers were interesting. I wouldn't recommend him

Mike is so laid back, lectures can get boring, but he makes up for it by going off on hilarious tangents. You only have 2 presentations 2 tests and 2 one-page papers all semester. No attendance policy, easy A, take him.

Mike is a SUPER easy professor. He's extremely laid back and is kind of a pushover. He's really nice and hilarious, too. There are 2 group presentations (if you take the group GCOM) and he grades them pretty easily. He's a really slow grader, but it doesn't really matter because you rarely turn stuff in. TAKE HIM

Nice, approachable guy. Extremely laid back, only two speeches with very broad topics, so you can choose almost whatever topic you want. Straightforward material, and you really don't have to read. Definitely take him, especially if speeches aren't your thing.

So easy, 2 tests but the final is the only one that really counts and 2 presentations. Study for the tests, but other than that, he's handing you an A. Boring, but you don't have to go to class after the first bit.
