<p>Hello everyone,</p>
<p>I have a few basic questions about courses and professors. First, which Engl101 professor would you recommend and how many students are roughly in a class? Second, roughly how many students are in a Comm107 class? Lastly, what exactly should I expect in the CP Scholars Colloquiums? In terms of work, and general class schedule and particapation.</p>
<p>Thank you very much,</p>

<p>Using testudo’s schedule of classes (make sure you’re in the Spring 2012 category), you can find all of the classes, professors, and number of seats. It looks to me like COMM107 classes all have between 20 and 25 seats. [University</a> of Maryland | Testudo | Schedule of Classes](<a href=“http://www.testudo.umd.edu/ScheduleOfClasses.html]University”>http://www.testudo.umd.edu/ScheduleOfClasses.html)</p>
<p>Using ourumd.com, you can search for each of the professors and see reviews and grade breakdowns for each class they teach. </p>
<p>Hope this helps!</p>
<p>While I believe it is not mandatory, it has been strongly suggested that all scholars take the the S version of ENGL101. S versions are for all scholars and the classes are conveniently held in the Cambridge Community Center classrooms…Looks like each S version has 19 seats per section. So, when you look up the class on testudo, type in ENGL101S. So far, the only assigned teacher is Rebekah Cunningham and her reviews are positive (see ourumd.com). She only teaches the MWF sections…TUTH section.s are still listed as “staff” FYI, since this is the first year a lot of students will not be exempt based on just SAT scores, the S sections are not subdivided into specific scholars programs like they had been in the past - to make scheduling around your other classes easier.</p>
<p>The colloquium, however, is mandatory and it sounds like as long as you put the work in and participate, you should not have a problem getting a good grade. It’s only a one credit class, so I doubt it’s a heavy work load. This class is taught by the people who are in charge of your program, and they all have individual styles. The grade history varies between the scholars programs, but the majority get A’s with most of the rest getting B’s and a minority getting below that.</p>
