Very helpfull, energetic, and funny.

excellent professor, an asset to the communications dept.

He is overall good allowing you to work at your own pace...Attitude kinda pompous and jittery but agin his teaching is at your pace and he is helpful.

Very helpful, enthusiastic, and allows you to work at your own pace. I love Dr. Lenze!

Excellent! Finally, I prof that is conservatice :-) Im sick of all these radical liberals

Friendly, student-centered, and very helpful. Always willing to do whatever he can for his students, and he keeps chocolate bars in his office! If you work hard and pay attention you will do great in his Comm103/301 class. He's overall a nice guy.

Dr. Lenze is an all around great guy!

extremely helpful and lets you do things at your own pace.. DO NOT TAKE HIM IF YOU DO NOT ENJOY PEOPLE PUSHING THEIR VALUES ON YOU... it drove me nuts all semester

Dr. Lenze will do anyhting to help anyone, he is really funny, and I learned a lot in the class. He is a very nice person!

Lenze is the most helpful professor. The only person that should be allowed to teach this class, you'll learn alot and you won't get less than a B. Very funny guy

very helpful prof. really nice and understanding. he lets you work at your own pace. you will learn a lot from lenze.

Very energetic. Does not need to drink coffee in the mornings. He will keep you awake!! Classroom content is perfect for future teachers! i highly reccommend!!

AWESOME PROF! HE LOVES HIS FAMILY AND LOVES HIS STUDENTS!!! VERY ENERGETIC AND INSPIRATIONAL! TAKE HIM...YOU WONT HAVE ANY REGRETS

Great teacher. Does "preach" a bit, but he tells the truth for your own good. Trust me, being a teacher sucks. He tells it how it is! Very helpful. Go get some chocolate!

Dr. Lenze is one of the best professors I have ever known. The class has easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions, and he is willing to help you. Each class is a workshop, except at the beginning when he explains the next module. Great prof and person!

Dr. Lenze is awesome! He loves his job, and he loves helping his students! I would strongly advise anyone who has the opportunity to take Dr. Lenze to do so. There is a lot of work, but it is fun and very helpful!

Lenze is a nice guy and give you advice in teaching. However, he talks into your workshop time so you often need to go do work somewhere else. He grades easy if you stay up to date with assignments and follow directions. He's really easy so take him.

I learned so much from Dr. Lenze. He takes his job really seriously and he tends to be tough on students. There is a lot of work outside of class but if your serious about this class then getting an a or b shouldn't be a problem!

He is an excellent professor! I would strongly recommend taking him if you ever get the chance.

Lenze is a decent guy, but his class really gets me heated. Every single time he lectures, he finds a way to tell all of us that we are going to hell, or manages to lecture about ****s. His ultra-conservative act gets really old after a while. Class is okay though.

He's always willing to help you out with any problems your having. His lectures seem to tell you a lot of b*******, but sometimes they are informative. His final is hard as they come because you have to do a lesson plan, a powerpoint presentation, and a webpage in 2 hrs with no more time alloted.

I don't get why he has negative ratings? This course was one of the easiest ones I've ever had. Quizzes are beyond easy and so are the tests. He's very clear about the standards in the class, if you're wondering if you should take him or not you should! It's an easy A as long as you show up...

Take him if you can for this class. He is very helpful and grades fair. I heard the other professor is not nearly as good as this Lenze. I hear a lot of complaints about the other professor, but Lenze is terrific, just show up to class and the rest is a cake walk. He reviews all the assignments before they are due so you can get a perfect grade

Wonderful caring prof. he will help you everyway he can, regaurdless of who you are, or what you look like. He is a terrific prof. happy to help you at any time. Dr. Lenze wants you to be the best teacher you can be, and he's willing to help you get there. He stresses being professional when you are teaching, and that is good. I recommend him most.

Dr. Lenze is awesome. The only people who complain about him are those people not willing to work for their grade! Sure, he is opinionated. But while Dr. Lenze does get on his soapbox about what makes good teachers - he has good good reason! If you can't handle being told the truth DON'T take this class!

If you have to take this course, take this professor. There's a lot of work, but it's the same work load for every other professor. He's pretty understanding with things. If you read the modules and do exactly what the book tells you, you'll pass his class.

I loved Dr. Lenze! He was so easy. Im not sure what all the other people are talking about. He lets you miss 8 classes (however 5 you must turn in notes). If your going to miss more than 8 classes why even be enrolled in the class. He also gives extentions, which dont hurt your grade all at. All you have to do it ask for its due. Take Dr. Lenze EAS

Arguably one of the best profs on campus. I wasnt sure how much I would like the class at first but it was awesome. you work at your own pace within reason. it seems like there is so much to do but there is suprisingly not that much. and its easy because these are basic computer skills you should know by now anyways. I wish I could take him again.

Jimbo rocks. He's a cool guy. He makes me laugh which says a lot because most of the profs are stuffy old foggies. Sure he is opinionated, but guess what. He's a professor! He professes. That's his job. The 10 minutes per class he talks isn't gonna kill you. He's nice to a fault. I would fail half the class with some of their rediculous questions.

heavy workload, but enough tiem to do it. extensions. but,even though i had over 100% in his class, he still proceeded to tell me i was not doing enough work adn was not good enough to ever get a teacign job. told me i would flip burgers the rest of my life. he berates you in most classes, then expects you to respect his teachings

This guy will weed out any half-baked, low-life loser that thinks they want to be a teacher. Wake up, have some INTEGRITY, do what he says and you'll get an A. Final is stressful and yea, this guy tells it like it is. If your failing he'll tell you to not even come for the final, focus on your other classes and change majors. I respect him for that

This professor can be funny at times, and when he comments on things, they shouldn't be taken so seriously. His class can be easy at times, and even though he seems tough, he'll help you out if you need it. Just do the work.

I loved Dr. Lenze! I had him for 201. He gives you workshop time in class and he hands out bonus like its candy. I would definitely recommend him to comm majors, and even if you aren't a comm major take this class it is interesting :)

He is not terrible. He makes every attempt to try and help you. The way he divides up the groups is horrible though. GET IN A STRONG GROUP!!His views come into play during his lectures bu he tries to show both sides. Defiantly has no problems stating his views on you, and you gotta learn how to adapt. 5 exams and not easy. Know your stuff well!

MAKE SURE YOU GET INTO A STRONG GROUP!! He gives you a test to determine what group you are in. Take the extra time and study. He plays favorites BAD. Great if he loves you. Creates a certain standard for assignment deadlines, but never has the drop box open. Never has work graded in a timely fashion. His attendance policy isn't bad though.

Dr. Lenze is easy, for Comm 150, at least. The only unfair thing I had a problem with was we were put into groups by him. I got stuck with a crap group but we still got 100s on all the projects. People say his tests are hard, but I don't think they realizes that over half of them were open notes. As long as you do what he wants, you're fine.

He is the best professor in the COMM department by far. One thing I'll always remember about him was his speech on the last day of class. "Your school and degree stays with you, no matter where you end up." Story of his class. It will challenge you to make yourself better. I'm not a COMM major, just a minor and I learned a ton. Top notch professor.

Dr. Lenze is somebody I will remember forever. He is everything that is great about higher education. His group work is a pain sometimes, but a lot of the work is pretty simple. I earned a solid A in his course. Take it from him! Learn how to work in groups. Exams are simple if you study. Make flashcards online, just like he says to do. Top notch.

now i adore Lenze he is dedicated, and committed to his profession although soemtimes he jumps on a soap box and if you listen to him religiously it can be soul sucking. Lenze is an instructional designer which is a very technical profession stuck in corporate america so if your very creative take his rants with a grain of salt.

This class is how you make it; if you work hard then you get a good grade, if you slack off then you fail. Even if you get stuck in a group that is not the most talented, you can still pass with a good grade as long as you do the work. Lenze himself is very entertaining and he gets excited when the students get involved.

Class was really easy, especially with the amount of extra credit he gives. Attendance counts, big time. He's also really helpful, go to his office hours if you need guidance with your projects. Show up to class, do the work, easy A.

Overall a great professor. Really inspires you to put hard work into everything you do. Treats the class like it's your job. If you can't work in groups, you should probably change your major. Takes attendance via TopHat.

He's a great teacher. It's a great class. I took his class as a prerequisite for other Comm classes. The class is based around a group project. He is a little crazy and after the few classes you think he is a great human being. But once the lectures start you get bored and he comes off a little rude and condescending. But he is a great teacher.

Dr. Lenze was one of the most personable, genuine, and passionate professors I had. He certainly sets a high bar, but he wants the best from his students. He can be a bit Hot or Cold sometimes with mood. Although, I attribute all my success to his wisdom. He stays current with cutting edge research in the field. Make him your advisor if possible.

Dr. Lenze is great. He really knows what he is talking about and it very passionate about his job! If you're a comm media major, the class is enjoyable. The whole semester is a group project, but if you get a good group you'll be fine! He is very honest and gives great feedback! If you miss attendance you lose so many points!

Hard class not gonna lie. He's very fair though, you're put into groups at the beginning of the semester and those are your groups for the rest of the class. It's important to get along with your group. Show up to class. Read the textbook for tests or else you'll fail. Really caring prof though, he genuinely wants to help his students.

I really liked having Dr. Lenze as a professor because during his lectures he would get hyped about them. He would be very excited while lecturing. He does give out a lot of bonus points.

When I took Dr. Lenze's class, I hated it. I really disliked him, and working in groups was awful. When he became the internship coordinator, and I was struggling to find opportunities, he sat down with me on multiple occasions and was really awesome. He's a good guy, just very religious, loud, and make you work to get good grades.

Lenze is the definition of tough but fair. He treats his students like they'll be treated by employers to best prepare them for a career. Very strict grading guidelines, but always specific and thorough. Grades attendance so don't skip. He's tough because he truly cares. I've learned a lot from him. Be professional and you'll have no problems.

Dr. Lenze is a very fair professor. He lays out all that you will be doing in the semester on D2L and even goes into the specifics. Just follow his guidelines and you'll get a good grade. It may seem pointless at times (especially when he makes you sign in BLUE ink. He will hold you to that), but I would definitely take him again!

tough but fair for sure. he stands by the idea that no one improves without constructive criticism so if you dont like that youre in trouble. no final, its a bonus opportunity. its an easy class to pass if you care about your major or minor.

He treats you how you will be treated in the real world, if this scares you grow up. Such an inspiration and will really open your eyes, he is ALWAYS available for feedback, utilize it! You use both texts for the tests, use them. He is a tough grader but will usually budge if he knows you do good work. One of the best profs!

I took COMM 207 this year and while it was extremely difficult, but Dr. Lenze made the class much easier. He has weekly deadlines and a lot of work per week but he is extremely knowledgeable about the subject of managing social media. He is always available to help you and has plenty of office hours. I would definitely take his class again!

He gives lots of extra credit opportunities. He's a bit tough, but if you go and talk to him about grades or any trouble you're having he is SUPER reasonable. The good thing is as much as you work in groups, you get evaluated by your group members and get a grade that way. So essentially if you have a slacker, you can call them out!

He is very respectful and gives excellent feedback. He may seem strict, but he treats you how you will be treated in a professional setting. He is understanding and only sets realistic expectations, but don't slack off. Cares a lot about his students' success and is always availible for advice. He will give you the grade you deserve.

Tough but fair. Doesn't care about your feelings and tells you like it is

I loved his class. He was clear and concise on what needed to be done. He will grade you hard, but the feedback is helpful on what is asked of you. He is always willing to help and wants you to reach out to him. He cares for his students. However, he is very assertive in his lectures.

Dr. Lenze probably won't be everyone's cup of tea. He's also pretty intense for a 100 level class. You'll learn a lot and make some friends for sure though because the whole class is a giant group project. Absolutely DO NOT let your group members or yourself fall behind though, it would be very hard to catch up.

Lenze himself is a nice, dedicated, understanding professor and he will work with you. COMM 150 itself is pretty is easy but stressful-- group projects, deadlines, and it's almost required to get out of your comfort zone. overall I would recommend this course if its aligned with your future goals in media

Professor Lenze runs a tough but rewarding class. The group project is challenging, but engaging. While the workload can be intense, using resources like unstuckstudy for study prep really helps. Overall, a worthwhile course if you're up for the challenge.
