Gerry Strumpf COMM107 Expecting a B+ admin 12/20/2023	Gerry is a very easy going and supportive teacher. That being said, her grading is very random and varied based off how much she likes the topic and student. She goes on lots of tangents and gets off track a TON. If you’re not a natural public speaker, it will be a challenging, but very helpful class. I ended with 899/1000 points and she refused to give me one extra point, so I ended with a B+, which was very disappointing. Overall very easy and manageable class, so it was unfortunate to end with a B.

Gerry Strumpf COMM107 Expecting an A admin 10/12/2020 This review was submitted while most classes were online during the COVID-19 pandemic. It may not be indicative of a regular semester.	I love Gerry's class so much! She is trying really hard to make the online format work for everyone and it is the most enjoyable of all of my classes. Class is relaxed and fun but my public speaking has definitely improved. Make sure you show up to class, pay attention (she can tell!), and do the quizzes (reasonable ones) from the textbook, and you'll do well. She is my favorite professor and I highly recommend taking her for COMM107. I even plan on taking UNIV362 just because she is teaching it.
Gerry Strumpf COMM107 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/17/2018	I feel like you can't help but love Gerry's class. Yeah, she may be a bit crazy, but she is warm, caring, and clearly passionate about her subject. Although she grades a bit tougher that one would expect, she is more than willing to work with you to improve. Take this class if you want an entertaining hour fifteen every other day. Highly recommend.
Gerry Strumpf COMM107 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/15/2018	If you're a natural public speaker, this class is an easy A. Otherwise, Gerry does a great job of preparing you for the speeches you will give. A bunch of online quizzes (open book), no exams, a couple speeches, and one group project. Lectures require participation. Not the right teacher for quiet students... Highly recommend!!

Gerry Strumpf is a seriously adorable southern woman that can be put off track easily and tells story after story in class. We hardly took notes, and I never opened the book. That being said, she is a strangely hard grader for her teaching style. The class was laid back and fun, and I genuinely enjoyed being in class. It is an easy A if you take your speeches seriously (which I didn't at first). She is such a kind woman and she made COMM107 bearable. I would definitely recommend her.

I'm kind of embarassed that I got an A minus at the end of this class because it was seriously easy, although she's a surprisingly tough grader. But she's pretty lenient and caring and nice person. If you're looking for an A in comm, take her. If you're looking to learn about public speaking, take her. If you're looking to skip class, don't take her she takes it seriously(totally the reason why I got the minus).
