Comment:

Read the text, come to class, and participate - if you do, you will leave with a strong understanding of media theories and of their evolution. You will critically analyze these theories through media formats like advertising, news, and television. Berry is knowledgable, approachable, and inspiring. Easily one of the best teachers at Concordia.

Comment:

ok lecturer, the powerpoints are posted online although they are not as clear as the ones during class. the course book is HORRIBLE! does not go into dept at all i wish there was better literature for the class because the subject matter is interesting. impossible to use it as a reference in essays.

Comment:

Wow..Flash from the past! This teacher looks like a prof from Degrassi Jr. High! Material clear very similar to the text book. However, heaven forbid you come to class late, eat,or look at your neighbor without him commenting and relating it negatively to the course material. Also, tends to stare at student who do any of the above. strange

Comment:

Easy class, Overly marxist, one sided, does not inspire personal thought rather pushes his own views... There is two sides to each story, responsible teaching should teach both.
