Reviews of professor Shanna Carlson

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Very annoying in class. Harsh and unclear grading methodology.

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Carlson is tough but fair. She assigns quite a bit of homework, but almost everything was covered in the syllabus. I was going through a tough time and made her aware, and she was patient and understanding with me. She is very particular, but if you try your best and stay on top of things, you will succeed.

She assigns WAY too much stuff for a 200 course. There are three essays (in which she basically fails you every time even after going to her for help), quizzes, a midterm, final, tons of flipgrids, and written homework each week, debates, and more. She doesn't post homework on time but expects you to finish it on time when she is late in posting.

Shanna was tough at times, but she always made clear what her expectations were. Everything you need to know for 210 is in the syllabus, and the due dates are outlined each week for each assignment. There are a couple debates that are time consuming, but she helps out a lot with those as well, and she always was available outside of class.
