This class is student based and you get more out of it if you participate. That being said there is some downsides, it's taught in a very liberal manner given the material and she takes forever to post grades but is in an easy reader. Critical Dialogue and Final Project/Paper aren't hard and you are given ample time in class.

Kalin Schultz COMM107 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 05/20/2024	One of the first classes I took in college, why not go back and review? Schultz is super nice. COMM107 is, naturally, one of the easier courses at UMD since it's a GENed that everyone takes. But who knows? I've heard stories about more experienced comm profs who made 107 a rather difficult experience. Schultz was not one of those teachers and by that standard alone, she deserves 5 stars right? If you take 107 with her, it will be a very chill experience.

She doesn't put a tremendous amount of pressure on her students when giving speeches and she's incredibly understanding about nerves and the like. She doesn't assign more than she needs to but makes sure you know what you have to do and how to do it. She also gives really good feedback and requires peer reviews, so you definitely do grow as a public speaker in this class. As understanding as she is about nerves, she does do a lot of in-class activities to get you talking with your peers, so if you're highly extroverted this class is for you!

She's understanding of the students and what they want and will help with any assignment there is. Just attend class for participation and it is probably more difficult to get a bad grade in her class than to get a good one. 100% recommend for people who are taking COMM107. Also most of her presentation outlines will probably be graded as a 100% if u just follow her format and the quizzes and participation are easy too.

Kalin Schultz COMM107 Anonymous 05/11/2022	Only good things to say about her!! She really tried hard to get the class to know each other, which made me more comfortable to do presentations. She is extremely understanding with getting assignments done and if you need an extension, just ask her. She is also a student, so she knows the struggles. She is very approachable and is willing to go get coffee or something with you if you need help. When it comes to the presentations, she is a fairly easy grader if you get it done and present. She is good with giving feedback too. I know the name of professors for COMM classes do not come out till last minute, but if you can, I REALLY recommend trying to get her.

It’s very easy to talk to her because she is very relatable and makes a point of letting students know they are not alone in their struggles, saying she struggles with similar things too (i.e. deadlines, group work, etc.). She is very understanding and accommodating as long as you communicate with her. That’s not to say that she’s a pushover; she usually won’t extent deadlines because it is a college course, but she is super understanding, and even if you don’t think anything will change if you come to her with a problem in her class regarding deadlines, I think it’s still really important to be in communication with her because her knowing your situation is a big way she can help you and just be aware of where you are. And if something in her class isn’t working well for you, chances are she’d be happy to help you figure out another way to approach it. She is always offering to meet individually with students who are struggling in any way, and she is happy to take the time to come up with individualized plans for her students that need it so they can succeed best. I don’t know a lot of people in my class personally, but the environment she creates is very comfortable, and I feel safe speaking my mind without being judged because she creates a very friendly and accepting environment. I feel comfortable striking up a conversation with pretty much anyone in my class just because of how relaxed and friendly the environment is. Her lectures are interesting and easy to understand. There are a lot of presentations we have to do, but Kalin does everything she can to help students have end products they are content with. She provides students with a lot of resources and places emphasis on preparation. I feel very equipped with resources and knowledge every time I start an assignment, its really just a matter of putting that knowledge into action. Even for a Gen Ed, I found the class to be really interesting. In her lectures, she’ll also share a lot of short videos that help illustrate a concept she’s teaching. The videos are one of my favorite parts about lectures because they’re really interesting and entertaining, yet also educational. Overall, she is a very friendly and understanding professor. Every student in her class is accepted and celebrated. It really is a fun class.
