Chelsea Stolt TLPL250 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 05/29/2024	I do not even know where to start with this amazing woman. Professor Stolt raises the standards for how all professors/doctors should be. I was considering dropping my minor in Philosophy, but taking this course solely reinforced my love for the subject. I added this course last minute, and I think that was probably the best decision I have ever made in my college career. On the academic/classroom level, my goodness, she is absolutely incredible. I think this is my first course at UMD where pretty much every student showed up each class - not because of attendance purposes, but because Chelsea fosters an environment where everyone feels safe, valued, heard, and cared for. I looked forward to every Tuesday and Thursday solely because of this class. I remember for the quiet kids, she would always make sure that they were not overlooked. That has to say a lot. There is a bit of reading, but she doesn't reinforce that you have the understand the dense philosophy writing. All she asks is that you complete the required reading, and in class, she elaborates on them and we have open-discussions. I have never learned more from such a unique and effective teaching style. On a personal level, I remember contending with mental health issues. Professor Stolt would email me after every class to make sure I was okay. She would even talk to me after class and let me rant to her. She provided the wisest and most insightful advice. She also went beyond her role as a professor and gave me her phone number in case I had a mental health emergency. What professor does that? Only her. She is one of the kindest people I have ever met. I wish Professor Stolt taught every class at UMD. I think every student needs someone like her in their lives. Hell, I think every person in this world needs a Professor Stolt. I cannot recommend her and this course enough. I truly will never forget my experience, and I will probably carry every lesson she taught me for the rest of my life. Even if this is just a Gen-ed for you or you just need an extra class or whatever, TAKE THIS COURSE AND TAKE IT WITH HER. You will thank yourself later.

I'm a STEM major (nursing) but I actually found this class quite insightful and not a waste of my time like other gen ed classes. She's a very caring professor whose main goal is for students to actually take away something from the course and not just sit and do mindless assignments. The class is mainly discussion and talking about our own perspective on education and build our philosophy/understanding of it. The class is mainly about discussion and understanding what the reading was trying to discuss in class. Her classroom creates an environment where you connect and talk with other student's about understanding our own perspectives on what education means to us. Overall attendance is mandatory (since all we're doing is talking) and mainly about talking with others and the professor. The only real assignments are the journal entrees where we have to do but it's mainly just writing on what YOU think the prompt is and your opinion on it. The final is a creative project on whatever you want or you could have very chill and laid back educational conversation about what we learned over the course of the semester and what it means to us. Such a nice and swwet understanding professor who actually takes the time and cares for her students. TLDR: If you're committed on going to class and do the readings, journal entries, and just talks/participates during class this is such an interesting and laid back course! 100% would recommend to anyone looking for an easy gen ed course.

Actually one of the best gen ed professors I've had on campus that actually feels like the class is worth it. There are no main assignments other than a creative project final and journal entries (all on paper) that you do based on the prompt so give you. The class is discussion based about philosophy of education, and she does a great job of working with the student to create a space where education and non-education majors can talk about what they think their on philosophy on the topic is. All this class is about discussion and engaging with the material so it's pretty easy. There are reading which you have to do but it's worth it cause some of the text she picks is actually really interesting. There is one field trip during the semester where you go to a museum with the class's and she discussion about how the materials relate about to education and philosophy. Overall the topics and discussing actually brings a different perspective on how to view life in a different manner than before which I found interesting. Overall she's an amazing professor who understands and is very caring. TLDR if you want a class where all the grading is about yapping and sometimes writing and little stress/work. This is definitely it!

I enjoyed going to class all semester. There are some in-class writing essays and also occasional journal entries along with a final project. Super easy grader and was an easy A in my opinion.
