Dr. Fenlon was super sweet and caring! You can tell that she's passionate about digital curation. Attendance is mandatory and she had an in-class activity every day, so be prepared for that. A couple of days throughout the semester she even had quizzes or notecard activities in the first five minutes of class to check who arrived on time (we often had people showing up 15-20 minutes late and I think she got sick of it). Sometimes the in-class activities made me dread going to class because they were kind of irrelevant and boring, but we ball. Our assignments were interesting and the final project (creating our own digital collection and preservation plan) was actually fun! If you're the type of person who can go to class every day, I recommend Dr. Fenlon, but if you're a chronic skipper I would recommend looking for a different elective. |

She's super nice and caring. She provides amazing feedback and always tries to help out students to the best of her ability. I was torn between the data science and the new digital curation specialization but after her class, I'm going to continue n the digital curation route. I even missed a quiz in her class and she created a whole new quiz for people who forgot to take it. Overall she's an amazing professor and I'm honored to be taught by her this semester. |

This is her first year teaching, but she is a great professor. She cares a lot of about her students success and listens to student feedback. Most of the material isn't too complicated, but she teaches the material pretty well. Be prepared for a lot of in-class activities that count towards a participation grade, so attendance is mandatory. However, I missed a few lectures and my grade wasn't really affected so just don't miss a ton. Overall, she is a great addition to UMD! |
