Reviews of professor Cristina Visperas

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Visperas singlehandedly made COMM 206 my favorite class at USC so far! Teaching on Zoom during the pandemic, she was so understanding & compassionate to all her students. She is so passionate & knowledgeable about all the topics covered in class & her lectures were so engaging. She is such a gem and Annenberg is so lucky to have her!

Loved prof. Visperas. Lectures are amazing. Papers are everything to your grade, which sucks because the topics are very arbitrary and lack direction. Your grade is pretty much dependent on how your TA grades the 3 papers, but I still suggest the class.

Seriously going to miss this class. Visperas not only cares about the class material, but also cares deeply about the students. Heavy topics are covered, but all are so important to our world. Exposed to authors and concepts that I will take to other comm classes and life overall. Cannot recommend enough.

One of the kindest professors you will ever encounter. You can tell how dedicated she is about what she teaches and you will definitely share her passion about society's issues by the end of the semester. Very reading-heavy class but she won't make you do all the readings so don't worry.

Prof Visperas is such a gem. Her lectures have been honestly such delights during my first sem at usc. COMM210 is the only class that im happy to wake up at 5am for (attending from outside of US). Though the course covers very heavy topics (gender based violence, racism, war, etc.), she managed to make lectures very informative and interesting.
