He's a little old school but really cares about his students. He expects you to work for a grade but I don't think it's to an unreasonable extent. I've learned so much in his class and have improved drastically as a writer. He's old and a little disorganized and incompetent at technology but he cares about helping you write better and is very good at orating how to do that. He's a teacher through and through |

Dr. Lowderbaugh is a great professor. He is very willing and open to help you out with whatever questions you may have, and he is very responsive and accomodating with his e-mails. The class requires a good deal of effort and is different from the writing that most students are used to. Professor Lowderbaugh will teach you how to write appropriately for the business world, which most students don't already know how to do. If you are willing to put in the effort and listen to Professor Lowderbaugh's suggestions and comments and incorporate them into your writing, you should have no problem with getting an A. However, if you choose to think that your writing is already good enough for the business world and that Professor Lowderbaugh's comments aren't representative of how the real world is like, your grades will suffer. |

You should not take this class with this teacher. You do not understand just how awful he really is. Every class is him talking about nothing and then repeating himself and then you work in groups to edit your papers. Your group members are no better at writing than you and offer little help. Additionally, you have to write all the papers on your own. Most of the other junior English classes have you working in groups. Instead you spend an entire semester making up information for a proposal that is really stupid. This class is way too much work to get the grade. This teacher just set you up to fail. |

Prof Lowderbaugh really cares about his students. He was readily available to talk to me after class (and office hours). Taking a 3 hour class can become boring, but he tried to keep us awake. In my opinion, he shouldn't have done the exact same thing every class - it became old fast. |

This was the most challenging course I have EVER taken in my life. Professor Lowderbaugh offers all his help so that his students receive the highest grades. He lets you rewrite papers and offers student conferences when asked. Taking his class, I feel, has extremely improved my professional writing skills. My final proposal from the class received good feedback with my supervisor (the proposal written in class is sent to the supervisor). Unlike other engl394 courses, you work on a proposal individually and the workload is immense. It requires research beyond mckeldin, and its unconventiality made it the most difficult class EVER. I worked really hard for my A, but at the end of day, I liked the class even though I had mini panic attacks every tues and thurs when I had the class. |

Professor Lowderbaugh is a great Professor. Though sometimes he rambles with random stories, he provides some great advice to improve your resume and personal statements. I felt very well prepared for my internship at the Maryland General Assembly. I highly recommend this course. |

Mr. Lowderbaugh has to be one of the worst professors at the University of Maryland. I hated having to attend his classes, he has no idea what he is talking about and everyone would have to sit while he fumbled through his 'lecture'. I have no idea why he is allowed to teach, none at all. He should have been fired a long time ago. |
