Reviews of professor Kevin McShane

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Very easy. There were 5 quizzes, a midterm, and a final. They are all easy, and consist of a reading and a couple questions based on that reading. Day to day class consists of class discussions which are actually interesting. Def take him if you want a easy A, and want to actually learn something from the course.

He made learning health care ethics really interesting. It was a very light class with very little work assigned and only a midterm and final, both of which were really short. You do need to pay attention though because he randomly calls on people to answer questions, but because of this we heard some amazing arguments about a few case studies.

I was nervous about taking his class bc of what my friend had told me about it but I'm so glad I took it. Theres roughly 1 assignment every week or 2 and as long as you breifly read the case study you can answer the questions and get an A. He really cares about his students and wants you to do well. He takes attendance but his lectures aren't bad.

This is by far one of the easiest classes I've taken at SJU. All tests/quizzes are take-home and are just a few questions that are purely opinionated. He might catch you lacking in class because he walks around and calls on people to discuss ethics cases but just sit in the back corner if ur not with that. Great guy who just wants you to pass.

Very nice professor. Exams are opinion-based written responses that are easy. Classes are discussion-based and attendance is mandatory. TAKE HIM FOR ETHICS. he makes ethics easy and interesting to learn.

very very easy A, there were about 6 papers all under 3 page double spaced based on readings that were kind long but the questions are very specific so you can skim and get the answers. also an extremely easy grader so don't be worried I got A's on all papers and some didn't deserve an A. attendance was the only annoying part since its mandatory

Prof McShane's lectures are interesting to listen to. He gives insightful feedback on quizzes/exams, with all assignments (including exams) being online and all readings are on canvas. Attendance is mandatory. I really enjoyed this class!
