George Kurtzweil INAG110 Expecting an A Anonymous 01/31/2024	George was a great professor that actually cares about his students' wellbeing. Not only was he an understanding grader but he truly made you feel heard and supported. I would take him again if I could. He makes every class enjoyable and understands that students have heavy workloads. He responds to emails super fast and is really attentive in class. I felt like I actually learned how to be a better speaker without all the stress of public speaking.

George Kurtzweil INAG110 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/15/2023	I hate speeches, but love George. Ends class early often, and sometimes cancels. The lecture feels more like a conversation cuz it's so chill. Just practice your speeches a couple of times and you're good.
George Kurtzweil INAG110 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/11/2023	George is an amazing Professor. He is very generous with grading speeches, and treats this class like the 100 level class its supposed to be. He builds good relationships with his students and creates a positive learning environment every day. There are four speeches which make up the majority of your grade, but if you practice you will be fine. George is there to help you overcome any anxiety you may have. Attending this class is genuinely enjoyable. Take George for this required Gen-Ed, trust me.

George Kurtzweil INAG110 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/05/2023	George is a great professor and an even better person. He makes class entertaining and is an understanding professor. He knows that students have other priorities besides INAG110, so the workload is pretty light. The main assignments are 4 speeches throughout the semester. George is a fair grader and I definitely recommend taking comm with him, you won’t regret it and I actually looked forward to attending class because of him

George Kurtzweil INAG110 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 05/09/2023	If you're a student who just wants to get the oral communications gen-ed out of the way in the easiest and simplest way possible, George is your guy, no questions asked. Super chill and laid-back guy, and he understands that students don't exactly prioritize his class over their other classes. In fact, he does not even want you to expend a large amount of time to his class compared to, for example, hard STEM classes. George was more of a friend than a lecturer to his students, and he holds a great presence. All weekly assignments take no more than half an hour total, and the speeches are not even that hard to prepare for. The midterm and final are also absolutely nothing to worry about, and I mean that literally because I don't think anyone will study for that for anything more than 10 minutes honestly. Classes are not mandatory, but you might miss a participation grade or two if you miss a day on a group activity day. I feel like I only went to like 50% of the Friday classes in all honesty. If you do go to class, George does lecture well and straight-forward. Overall, this guy is the absolute best professor I've ever had.
George Kurtzweil INAG110 Expecting an A Anonymous 04/27/2023	I probably don't even need to write much here; the other reviews sum it up pretty well. There are sometimes weekly textbook readings/quizzes, but these are mostly vocabulary, and they don't take long if you just have the book open while you do them. The speeches are the biggest part of this class. I'm usually annoyed by Gen-Ed type classes, but I think being able to speak in front of an audience is an extremely important skill, and throughout the semester I felt myself getting more confident for the speeches. With George, this class is very chill, and you'll probably make a new friend in class.
George Kurtzweil INAG110 Expecting an A Anonymous 07/01/2022	George is great -- very chill, teaches with personality, makes expectations for speeches clear, and doesn't make the class any more work or more complicated than it needs to be.
George Kurtzweil INAG110 Expecting an A- Anonymous 12/18/2021	George is awesome! This class is definitely one you can BS your way through; very minimal work required besides speeches. In my opinion, he's a bit critical of speeches but overall a fair grader. He is also super understanding. I highly recommend taking George for INAG.
George Kurtzweil INAG110 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/17/2021	George is the best professor I've had this semester as a Freshman here at UMD. As long as you treat George with respect, he'll respect you. Not only is he hilarious, he's more than fair with his grading and wants to give every single one of his students a chance to succeed. If you have to take INAG and can take his course, please do so. The workload is light and he is willing to work around YOUR schedule. Not many other professors are willing to make amends, especially if you missed a speech or need to move it to another day. He is one of the few professors that understands that we as students have our own struggles and schedules; his course bottoms out towards finals with practically no work. George is a champ. You'll probably love his course if you take it, especially since he's so chill about everything.
George Kurtzweil INAG110 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/11/2021	George is a very fun, kind, and relaxed professor. Our class always had a very light workload under him and for the few assignments we did get, he was a very fair grader (in my opinion, you'll really have to try to fail in order to get a bad grade in his class). Prof. Kurtzweil always let our class out early and was very understanding when it came to having to reschedule assignments. If you have the option to, TAKE GEORGE KURTZWEIL! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!
George Kurtzweil INAG110 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/09/2021	Amazing teacher. I didn't think one of my favorite classes would be a subject I generally hate, but George made it really nice. He's super chill, super funny, and just generally makes class enjoyable. The workload for the class is pretty light, pretty much the only big thing is the actual speeches. There are some occasional reading checks that are basically free points.
George Kurtzweil INAG110 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/07/2021	I really enjoyed taking this class with George. He is super chill, and managed to make the class super enjoyable! The class is not too much work either. I would definitely recommend that you get your communication gen ed credit with him!
George Kurtzweil INAG110 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/02/2021	He is a must-take for this course. He made every class engaging while still holding us to a standard. He is also very chill about most things. Definitely recommend his course!

George Kurtzweil INAG110 Expecting an A Anonymous 10/07/2019	George is pretty quirky but makes our class really fun and chill. Easy grader, speeches are the biggest grade but he gives out tons of other points with little writing assignments every week. Def take his class if you get the chance its the easiest way to get through that comm get ed
