Not a bad class. He uses examples to help you but he goes over material fast. One group project (5pg paper) not bad. Hes not good with names, so unless he knows you from somewhere else, he won't know your name. You kinda feel left out.

Two tests look so much easier than they really are. You'll walk away thinking you got an A when you get a C back. It's okay though because all the tests combined count for 20% of the grade. The weekly short papers are worth more and they are easy because they are 100% opinion-based. great guy.

Glen is an outstanding professor and just a great person all in all. He gives great feedback on your assignments. If you enjoy talking about sports I definitely recommend taking his Organizational and Leadership Communications class or Comm 472. It may be almost 2 and a half hours long but it's such a fun class because he makes it fun.

If you read the textbook and use his chapter outlines, you'll do well on the test. Pay attention to everything he says in class, it can show up on a test. And as for papers, try and get feedback before they are due. His classes aren't hard, but it's VERY easy to fall behind if you let anything slip.

Loved this class and the challenges that came with it. Has clear grading criteria and expects students to give their all. This class isn't for those who want to sit back and not participate. He is a cool guy and will help you in any way he can. Go to him with rough drafts for papers. I learned a ton for PR. I hope to have him again in the future!!

Glenn is an amazing professor, he is vary caring and make sure you learn the material. However this class is not easy A, if your looking for a class to lay low and not do much this is not it. Attendance is mandatory, READ THE CHAPTERS ASSIGNED, participation matters!!!

Glen really cares about his students and their success in his class. Office hours will help you so much and they are actually enjoyable. Even though he assigns a lot of papers, the topics are interesting and fun to write about. He's a pretty tough grader but it really helps you learn and grow. My favorite professor I've ever had. 10/10

He makes lectures interesting and fun. Little homework with weekly fill-in-the-blank discussion guides. Easy lectures, but not an easy class. Four grades ONLY: 2 tests, 2 papers. Super harsh grader so GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS, even if you're a good writer. Don't just do the minimum, go above and beyond on his papers w/ graphs and pictures.

This professor was my favorite out of all my professors. I am a junior here at Towson and have had many professors, and this one was my favorite. He is a hard grader and likes his students to care about what they are learning. He will go above and beyond for you and help in any way possible. I would recommend taking him for any of his classes.

If you want a good grade, DO NOT TAKE HIM. He only has four grades TOTAL. I don't know why he has good reviews, but his personality does not make up for his harsh grading. Chill lectures, but that's it. 8+ page papers and midterm/final that are super specific. No extra credit.

Yes, he is a tough grader and professor but he genuinely cares about his students. Looking back, this class is actually pretty easy if you just read and study. There were only 5 papers but he always has time to give you reviews. He believes in every one of his students if they work with him, along with that he is truly an amazing person!

If you went to a private school, the work load/expectations are the same. Do the work, put in effort, study hard, you'll be fine. He's very real and will let the class know when he's not seeing the effort he'd like. Very interactive: call/response based on the weekly guides. 2 exams/2 papers.

(2 short response exam's, in person) (2 8+ page papers) exams are fairly hard you must go to office hours for your papers, trust me.

His lectures are interesting and fun. You will be hooked the whole time. His tests are not hard if you just study. He GIVES HIS OWN NOTES TO THE CLASS. If you study them, you will do well. If you go to his office hours, you WILL do well on the papers. He works with his students after class, and will stay for as long as you need.

Glen was one of, if not the best, teachers I have had at Towson. Being a freshman in a class full of Juniors and Seniors last year, he didn't just move on and let me fend for myself. He worked with me and the entire class to ensure we passed. Just make sure you pass the midterm. One thing he will tell you is to CARE!!!!!

Only 4 grades all semester, make sure you do well on the midterm to keep you afloat. If you study for the tests you will be fine. Go to office hours for ALL papers.

If you're really interested in PR he provides an encouraging intensity that pushes you to really work for your grade. Overall, this class was extremely useful and I looked forward to it every week.

Glenn was the man. He teaches an upper-level communication class and it blows my mind that some of these reviews give him a hard time for making the class challenging or requiring attendance. Glenn gave a lot of real-life advice and related to the class to job seeking which I appreciated. He makes you put forth effort which I think he should.

First impression is that he's the mean drill sergeant teacher. Strict with attendance. However, he loosens up throughout the course and is really friendly. Makes the class feel inclusive and supportive. Not the biggest fan of his grading. Notes and lectures are easy but he calls on people randomly to read parts. Only 3 big speeches.

Professor Schorr is awesome because unlike other public speaking classes, he doesn't give any quizzes on the textbook homework! Instead he does note checks and automatically gives 20/20 points if you have SOMETHING written down. Follow his motto CARE: commit, attend, rehearse, excel. He will love you.

If you're taking Glen for this class, odds are you'll be thinking about dropping after a couple weeks. Don't. He expects a LOT of you, but that is only because he cares about all of his students and wants you to be prepared. You will learn more about your peers in this class than in any other, and I absolutely recommend you take Professor Schorr.
