TC Lloyd BSOS361 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 10/02/2025	TC is a genuine person, and cares about students in a way unlike any other. When I was forced to sign up for this course I was very annoyed, and definitely would have preferred to have that afternoon free instead. However, this course is just as valuable as they told us it would be. Having a personal connection to an advisor in the college is really helpful, and being in a space with all transfer students is amazing because everyone is in the same boat. The class is an easy A naturally, with a few assignments that have relaxed due dates. TC takes a lot of emphasis on hearing our voices and applying our opinions to improve the course. Dont be afraid to speak up if you feel a certain way about an assignment or due date because she genuinely cares and listens to you. The class is just incredible at making you feel less overwhelmed in a new environment. Trust me, you'll appreciate it more than you think you will.
Stephanie Grissom BSOS361 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/17/2025	I took this course as a way to meet new people and get to know UMD. I was very wrong. Grissom's class has an absurd amount of work associated with it for being a 1-credit course. On top of that, attendance is required. She stopped grading all these assignments a month into the semester and waited until the last weekend of the semester to grade the rest of the assignments. She took off points on assignments in arbitrary ways and offered no feedback or explanation on assignments as to why. Very frustrating, as I felt this class could have been a good introduction to UMD, but it was anything other than that. I also know other advisors who teach this course do it very differently, so I would recommend taking it with someone else or not taking it at all.
Stephanie Grissom BSOS361 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/19/2022	Do not take Stephanie's section of BSOS361. This was an absurd class and she demanded much more work than all other professors who taught this class. She said it would not go to the end of the semester but our final project (that no other section did) was due on the 22nd of December and we met up until the last class. She adds a participation grade for being in class so you can't even skip this pointless class. Take any other teacher for this class.
