Reviews of professor Cathi Shaw

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Cathi is an awesome person, very genuine and really cares for her students. The online textbook quizzes are an easy grade booster. She is a tough grader, but her feedback made my grades go from 60s to 90s in just a couple months. She gives audio feedback for all papers and marks your drafts which is super helpful! I highly recommend her!

Dr shaw is one of the worst profs I have had. Very rude in the emails and never gives proper feedback. She definitely does favouritism. Her TA marks super hard. Its a first year course but I dont get why they have such high expectations. overall bad experience and never taking Cathi again. Avoid her if you can.

The class was a bit boring, but she was actually a pretty good prof and helped me improve my writing. The papers aren't too long and if you ask for writing advice she's really helpful. She responds quick to emails and you can also meet with her. Only downsides are lots of discussion homework, lots of reading, and attendance required for online.

Dr Cathi Shaw is very strict and not responsive to questions. Can be downright rude in lectures and assigns 50+ pages of reading a week - says we should be spending 15 hours a week on her one course! With five courses a semester she has ridiculous expectations and is one of the rudest teachers ive worked with.

Cathi highlighted her requirements for every assignment and provided clear rubrics. If you follow those, you can get a high marks! She gave a clear and concise feedback through audio and graded fairly! Her lectures were also fun and helpful!! Great prof!

An amazing professor. Lectures were straight forward, as were all the assignments given. No book study (thank god). You can tell Cathi has been teaching for many years because shes excellent at it. Mandatory attendance as she docks marks for absences. Used her online textbook weekly, had the easiest quizes. Highly recommended.

Dr. Shaw is an amazing English professor, and you can really tell she loves her job. The class is straight forward and if you ask for help she'll give you concise feedback and work with you. You probably need to take English 112 so try get in her class!
