01/29/2026		Professor Penrose has been one of the best professors I've had at my time at UMD. He is a great lecturer, and made a history class very interesting. I thought the workload was fair (definitely have to stay on top of it though), as well as his grading. He was a great mix of being serious and funny. He created a very welcoming class environment, and you can tell he genuinely cares about what he is teaching, as well as his students. Highly recommend taking a class with him!

07/21/2022		He was great! SPAN303 class may seem like a lot to some but that'll be the case w any teacher. The first two weeks I thought it was going to be dull but he keeps it interesting and is funny and vocal. Very understanding professor and wants everyone to do well.
