Tania Nachrin COMM382 Expecting an A Anonymous 02/22/2025	Highly recommended professor for Comm 382. I took this class during winter. She is super nice and straightforward in instructions. She made sure we were taking good care of us and engaging in conversation with others although it was an online asynchronous class. I enjoyed her recorded lectures, and all the assignments were fun and real world situation related.
Tania Nachrin COMM382 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 02/12/2025	Super easy course. Definitely wasn't my favorite comm class I've ever taken but she made the workload super manageable and all the tests were online. Professor Nachrin was very nice, understanding, and a lenient grader.
Ayodeji Dapherede-Otusanya COMM382 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/15/2024	She's really sweet and her class as a whole was really easy. Attendance is mandatory but it can be a fun class to participate in if you commit to engaging with the material. There are a few sensitive topics brought up throughout the course (e.g. politics, bigotry, etc) but she's very understanding and you can feel free to communicate with her if a particular discussion point makes you uncomfortable. There are reading quizzes that you do outside of class and 3 reflection papers (4-5 pages long) throughout the semester and in-class assignments that are mostly graded based on completion.
Ayodeji Dapherede-Otusanya COMM382 Expecting an A Anonymous 11/19/2024	I found this class to be pretty boring, and I have taken many classes on racism and intercultural communication. I think that there is not really a logical flow of information in the course. I think there are several instances where the professor was not very understanding of people's differing opinions and viewpoints, and I feel like this class kind of lessened the affects of racism when compared to my other classes. I think the approach was more "let's all get along, we are all humans" and while that is good, it put a bad taste in my mouth at times. Professor Dapherede is a nice woman, but I was not fond of her teaching style or approach to this topic.

Umisha Kc COMM382 Expecting an A Anonymous 01/24/2024	Very chill professor that is knowledgeable and passionate about course content. The assigned readings for each class (especially the research papers) were kind of tedious so it's probably better to skim them otherwise it was a fun class. Also she wants people to speak more during class time for discussions so be prepared for that
Umisha Kc COMM382 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/07/2023	she is so cool! the fact that she is so young (mid/late 20s?) means she knows almost exactly the ins and outs of intercultural communication esp among young people. she is great at facilitating class conversation so everyone gets a chance to share their thoughts while also keeping it on topic. i hope she stays at UMD, i know she's in the doctoral program but pleeaasseeee Umisha if you're reading this stay b/c I would take like any class she teaches ever. this is also a super important class just in learning how to navigate the world and the different people/ideas you encounter. do the readings, show up, talk a little bit, and you're golden. she is just SO GREAT!!!!!!
Ari Perez Montes COMM382 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/15/2022	Ari is a graduate student, so he is super chill and fun. This class was easy and we talked a lot about interesting topics. It's an easy A and interesting so take this course to get a Gen Ed out of the way. You have to do discussions and he assigns some interesting podcasts and movies to watch. There's no exam but there is a final project which Ari walks you through and is fun and laid back to do. I loved him, take him if u can.
Anita Seate COMM382 Expecting an A lmule15 01/19/2018	She is a very nice person and is interested in students lives and progress. She is a pretty good professor and knows what she's talking about. This class had pretty easy to understand material so it wasn't very difficult. It was graded off of a midterm, final, a handful of quizzes, and a group project. Overall she did a good job.
