Reviews of professor Shuaib Meacham

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
He really helps us to know what real literacy is. Other people who only care about school-y stuff did not really know how to appreciate his stuff. He is the best literacy professor I have ever had!

Meacham's class is fine, if you don't care at all about learning the things in the actual course description. I believe that he cares about his students, but he does not care about giving good feedback on projects or keeping the class schedule up to date. While you may get a good grade, you likely will not learn anything new.

If you want an easy pass and don't care to learn anything, take this class. The most useless class I have ever taken. He says attendance is taken but it never happens. Sometimes he even forgets about assignments so he gives full credit.

If you don't like being interrupted when answering a question, don't take this class.

Meach is caring and likes to tell stories. A lot of class is videos and then discussion of questions, nothing to worry about. There were 3 graded assignments (easy), no tests. He doesn't really stick to a schedule but it was fine with me. We needed like 4 books but never read them so don't get them. I would take him again because he's very chill.

What was actually taught in this class did not reflect the course description whatsoever. In a class supposed to be geared towards how to teach content literacy, we learned solely about social issues and activism--which felt like a repeat of Schools and American Society. These are important issues, but not ones that are applicable to this course.

Meacham is very laid back but has no game plan when it comes to class or assignments. I would have to ask during class about random projects posted on Blackboard that were due but were never talked about. He makes you do assignments or projects but only grades two of them so it's a waste of time. Only watch YouTube and Ted Talks during class.

He is a great professor. He really knows children's literature and helped me to expand my knowledge.

Meach is a good professor and is passionate about what he teaches. However, this class was supposed to be about teaching and reading strategies. He is teaching more about activism and issues in society. While this is important information to know, this isn't the right class for that topic. I wish he would teach us what he is supposed to.
