Reviews of professor Andy Shome

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Contradicts himself all the time. Is a very hard grader, uses the book very heavily and even then its not enough. Not very helpful

Shome's idea of a rubric and grading criteria are jokes. Get ready for incredibly ambiguous projects that will get wildly different grades depending on seemingly nothing. Also be prepared to receive 100+ messages on bbLearn trying to explain what the hell he actually wants because the resources he provides and guidance given in class are inadequate

Very hard to understand & not very nice when questioned about most things. I would not suggest taking classes with him, put it off if possible until another professor is available.

When I say he is a tough grader, what I mean is that the way he asks his questions on exams makes it very easy for him to mark you down. There was a test I should have gotten a high A on and received a C

He constantly would contradict himself and always struggled to answer questions from students. Constant use of group work from day one, and also gave very little and vague feedback on assignments. No chance of extra credit.
