Reviews of professor Shawn Backer

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
pretty easy to please tbh, never gotten anything below a 92 on assignment/discussion, he takes off points for grammatical errors and not using citations on papers but it's easy other then that, free A. you'll need a textbook but you don't need to read it, he specifies what you need from the textbook to complete assignments in the descriptions.

This is a great class for someone who loves to write essays and discussion posts just like me. We did not have any exams; just essays and discussion posts; one every week (switches it up). We also had quizzes but they were very easy and open book. He does grade tough and gives feedback on the essays but it helps with ur next essay assignment.

Be ready to work for your grade. Lots of assignments, he takes points off for anything on your discussions and assignments. Not a hard class overall just a lot of work, very specific on what he wants. No tests just short quizzes, assignments, and discussions.
