Reviews of professor Patricia Shope

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The course material itself isn't written very well. Professor Shope will answer emails regularly and on more than one occasion all but wrote a paper for me. If you ask her to clarify the assignment if needed, She will lay it out for you. The class layout itself is horrid, but Prof Shope does her best with the course content she was given.

Professor Shope is a tough grader. Make sure you follow guidelines for papers and assignments. She will work with you on missed assignments. Just make sure you communicate with her.

This was actually LER 202 and new to the curriculum. Dr. Shope was fair, responsive, and graded well.  As it was new material without a textbook, it seemed easier to understand. Recommended class.

Two part exams more often than other classes which are multiple choice and short answer. Open book though not always straight forward questions. You MUST read the text book to understand online lessons. A lot of reading and typically a writing work assignment. Previous statistics class will be helpful. Interaction with teacher is minimum.

Professor Shope assumes you know the material and know what she wants. The syllabus notes lessons but not always a rubric. This is a statistics course despite the description. Reading is extensive, text book, writings a week, Exams and final paper. Difficult course online as it requires interaction you dont receive to clarify new material

Required text book is used weekly. Exams and what are called EP writing assignments. Paper you work on throughout the semester by section. 2-part Exams, multiple choice and short answer. No discussions posts, no group/class interaction. Minimum teacher interaction.. Follow the syllabus and complete the assignments.
