Took Professor Ray as my first course at SDSU and it went super smooth! Graded pretty lightly and lectures weren't too boring. Was able to get an easy A in the class through a busy summer doing other stuff. Couldn't ask for anything more!

Dr. Ray is a good professor who clearly is very passionate about Comm. This was a fun course however the reading checks were a complete drag. There are reading checks almost every class, and some of the readings are L O N G. The good news is he drops the 3 lowest scores on the reading checks so you can just not do 3 if you want.

Dr. Ray is amazing! He is by far one of the best teachers I've ever had. He's incredibly helpful and very sincere, and you can tell he is passionate about what he does. He grades quickly and provides insightful and thorough feedback. Dr. Ray is also accessible outside of class and will go out of his way to assist students with their research work.

Dr. Ray is one of my favorite profs at SDSU. He is so helpful with questions, makes his lectures interesting, and creates great discussion opportunities. There are 2 group projects. The second one was really fun to do. Monthly book reports (super interesting topics). And then one final. Great class, great teacher. MAKE SURE TO TAKE THIS CLASS!

This class was online because of COVID-19. Dr. Ray's course layout on Canvas was very straightforward and easy to follow. I was able to view all the assignments, the due dates, and how much each assignment was worth on the very first day of class. The textbook is super helpful and I recommend taking lots of notes because you can use them on quizzes

Took this for summer and it was super doable. Ray wants to help and is always available to answer questions. Reading, discussion board/reply, quiz, and movie each week (6 total) but pretty simple. Follow the grading criteria and rules for discussions and youll get full points. Group paper at the end was a lot of points but also simple to follow

I took Dr. Ray's class this semester, so it was online due to COVID. Dr. Ray adapted SO well to our new online platform. Out of all my professors, he was the most clear and concise. Yes, some of the assignments were challenging, but that's life, that's college, get used to it. He is very approachable and explains things in the most effective way.

Genuinely an amazing teacher. He keeps classes engaging and fun and really cares about his students. Grades stuff quickly and fairly, and overall a 10/10 professor. Would highly recommend.
