He is a great Professor and very nice overall/Although his in-person lectures are a bit boring, as the class itself his grading is very fair. You have plenty of time to do assignments, and he also gives out extensions depending on the situation. Gives out good advice for students and make sure to meet with him about your drafts if you need any help. I enjoyed the last final project where I personally made a tik tok (it was pretty easy to do and less work on myself) and he enjoyed it! Overall chill and a nice professor would recommend him :) |

The ENGL101 GOAT. I hated writing and reading in HS but this guy somehow made writing research papers interesting to do. The work load is decent but due dates are very fair and you have plenty of time. Grades very fairly and is an overall good guy. I do suggest that you go to office hours or drop in hours before a final paper is due. He gives great feedback and can help you raise your paper from b worthy to a worthy. |

Very nice guy, but grades a little harshly and sometimes it is hard to understand the assignments. Sometimes, his teaching style is a little crass. |

Honestly a really great professor. Work load is decent and he even cut a couple things to make the workload more manageable. He cares about all of his students and gives good advice to help students improve. One thing you should know is that their is a 50 point participation grade in which you need to show up to class. You have creative leeway on what you get to do regarding projects and he always is a pretty happy guy. He reaches out plenty if you need it and hosts zoom classes in which you can talk to him regarding your projects. |

As a cs major who enjoys anything but writing essays, Radford Skudrna is an amazing professor. He truly cares about his students and does his best to create a chill environment during class. Although I personally haven't submitted anything later than the deadline, I remember him granting students extensions for assignments, which is great. Workload is extremely manageable as well. If I were to advise anything, I would recommend meeting with him to look over your drafts as well as come to class as there is a 50 point participation grade. |

Professor Radford is one of the most solid ENGL101 professors at UMD. He is willing to help in any way he can to make your work much better and also give good advice on it too. He is a really chill guy and I highly recommend anybody to take him if they can. |

Radford is a fantastic professor. Really passionate about what he teaches and he's eager to work with each student during class in order to get them more comfortable with sharing their writing and giving and receiving constructive criticism. Very personable, dude loves icebreakers for the first few weeks, and they really help you to get more relaxed when it comes time to share and workshop your writing with peers. |

Chill, cool professor who's understandable. However can be a tough grader on assignments. |

Great choice for ENGL394. Not too many assignments, and provides great feedback. As long as you put in the time and don't procrastinate, his business writing course is very manageable. |

Radford is an amazing professor to have for English. I was expecting the class to be a bunch of liberal propaganda like others have told me but as a politically moderate STEM student, the class was great with Radford. He genuinely cares about his students. He is willing to give extensions if you're having a personal issue or if the draft of your paper needs to be reorganized completely like with what happened to me. He really wants to see you succeed. You can even take your drafts to him to look over before they're due and he will give you all the feedback you need to get an A on the assignment. The first few assignments were on social justice but they were really just to teach you rhetorical strategies for you to use in the writing you'll do later. Later in the semester you get to choose your own topic to write on which is great. Let me make something clear though, the class is not easy. However, it's also not hard. It's really just a lot of work and if you put in the work and you have him look at your drafts before they're due, you will be fine. The only issue I think I had with the class was sometimes not understanding how to start some of the assignments but if you ask him he will get you through any misunderstandings you might have. Also, don't buy the textbook. There's a pdf version online you can find. Just google the name of it with pdf at the end. |

Professor Skudrna is a great professor for ENGL101. He is thougtful, engaging, welcoming, and friendly and he is always going to help you be the best that you can be. Fair warning, his class does include a lot of work, so be prepared to spend a couple hours a week on different weeks working on major assignments. However, he is incredibly helpful when it comes to questions or comments about major assignments, and I 100% recommend meeting with him before you submit any final drafts. This way, you can have the guy who is grading your paper a chance to look over your paper before you officially submit it. I truly recommend Radford as an ENGL101 professor, you cannot go wrong by taking his class. |

I'm a STEM major and usually don't enjoy english classes, but Professor Skudrna was engaging, open, and welcoming. He always gives people the opportunity to engage in class but never forces anyone to which I appreciate. He was one of my nicest professors this semester and always brings good energy even if the class seems tired. If you complete the assignments you generally get good scores. I highly recommend taking his class |
