Foster McDaniel UNIV100 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 02/01/2024	Participation and attendance are weighted VERY heavily and if you miss even one class it could bring you down a whole letter grade. As other reviews say, it's really awkward when no one answers a question because Foster will just stare at you for MINUTES if no one answers but it's honestly kind of funny. They have a way of being funny without trying so if you take him you'll definitely be entertained.
Foster McDaniel UNIV100 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/19/2023	They are a nice professor and I really enjoyed the class but attendance is mandatory. If it weren't for extra credit I would have a B+ they are strict on attendance and you can't make those points back so make sure you come to class. But overall nice person would take again but I would come to all the classes.
Foster McDaniel UNIV100 Expecting a B Anonymous 12/13/2023	DONT TAKE HIM FOR UNIV!!! Each class was long and boring! Instead of moving on, he would stand in silence until someone raised their hand to give random examples - even if it meant waiting in awkward silence for MINUTES. A lot of univ professors let their class out early, but it seemed like Foster intentionally drawled out class to make it meet the 1 hour 15 min mark. He also scheduled the course to last the ENTIRE semester when a lot of univ courses end by early Nov (when he had no topics to teach he still scheduled class and let the class choose the topic - as if that's a better option than just not having class). He seems like a nice fun guy but definitely not when it comes to grading. He keeps track of attendance and takes off 5 points for each class missed and he is harsh on grading assignments for no reason considering this is univ.
Foster McDaniel UNIV100 Expecting an A- Anonymous 12/08/2023	Foster was a personable, funny, and understanding professor. I wasn't a fan of how heavily participation was rated in this class. It is only 1 credit, a class about umd, but I ended with a low A partly because I didn't show up to one class without emailing to get excused. Unfortunately, this class was painfully boring, and I dreaded going. Loved Foster's as a Professor, but hated the class.
