Reviews of professor Shane Moritz

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
It's an easy A as long as you manage your time well and put in the effort, because the papers can be pretty time consuming. He does offer extra credit for a lot of them though. He's very eccentric and engaging, and he gives good feedback on your papers. I really enjoyed his class

Very enthusiastic and passionate. Sometimes he can be confusing because he can be a little jumpy but a great teacher. Also a lot of peer reviewing which was very helpful and made it easier to get closer to classmates. Mr. Shane gives a lot of feedback on papers and it is always very helpful. I loved taking his class! Also don't but the books.

One of my favorites at UMBC. I really enjoyed this class and I looked forward to it. The essays that we did felt unique and fun, so there was at least 1 essay you would enjoy during this class. I wish I needed another english credit so I could take it again

He's really cool! Is very understanding if you have and mental health things going on and is willing to help you stay on track! He also gives good feedback on papers and does have a lot of peer review/editing before turning in the major papers. Has precise grading criteria & if you follow his instruction ==> good grades on the papers and the class!

Professor Moritz is the best prof I've ever had! Papers are reviewed like three times before the final paper deadline so, there are a lot of chances to improve essays. Really funny and responds to emails super fast.

Beware of peer reviews, they do not give you much so it is worse when he swoops in and tells you that your essay is terrible. I have had to rewrite two essays because he made me scrap my thesis. Semi-entertaining in class, a very particular guy. Only 5 essays which was kind of a lot

For Mr. Moritz, attendance is important, but his lectures are pretty engaging. He's very witty but a pretty funny professor. He provides examples and feedback for most of the major papers. He appreciates student feedback and works on helping to establish a good writing foundation for his students.
