| Trevor Parry-Giles COMM250 Expecting an A+ admin 12/27/2023 | Trevor was a great lecturer. He always tried to make the content interesting and engage with the students. He didn't take attendance, so many students decided to not show up. It was about 22/100 students that came to lecture, which was kind of upsetting because he was always excited to teach. We had 7 quizzes total, 1 per unit. There was a weekly writing assignment that happened during discussion sessions with the TA (they had to be 300 words or less). Overall an easy class. |
| Trevor Parry-Giles COMM498Y Expecting a B admin 01/11/2023 | Such a great guy! His classes can have difficult material but he makes up for it with online, open note exams. The most challenging things are the out-of-class assignments (due to the complexity of the material). Though he is always there to help and will let you choose groups to be in to work on the projects. I wish him nothing but the best. |

| Trevor Parry-Giles COMM324 Expecting an A admin 12/16/2011 This review was automatically imported from OurUMD. It was not manually verified and may not follow our review standards. | One of the most engaging teachers at maryland! Funny, cool, and always willing to help his students. Keeps things interesting and is passionate about the subject. It is an easy comm class that has only 3 tests... so don't mess up. Just attend class to copy the lecture slides he has and you will do fine. Take 2 days to study though because he doesn't really tell you what he will test on. Highly recommended upper level elective. |

However his tests are really hard and he doesn't give you a good idea of what is on it. Make sure to talk to him or the TA about the paper, it will definitely help. |

His exams are difficult, but he is by far one of my favorite professors I've had at Maryland. He's funny, topical, and he explains things very clearly. If you can, try to get this professor! |
