Reviews of professor Sidney Shaw

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Shaw's approach to education is second to none. Rather than being concerned with memorization and retention of bits of information, he designed the course to train students to employ an inquiry based approach to science, giving us the tools to excel as undergraduate researchers.

I love Dr. Shaw so much. His lectures are engaging and fun and he really wants you to not only pass his class but get an A. He's looking for effort and time in learning the material and assigns essays and quizzes instead of exams. He wants you to learn how to be a better scientist, not just at his particular subject. Wonderful professor!

Dr. Shaw practices what he preaches. His comments were specific, inviting, and asked individuals to take their thinking to the next level. I often found myself writing something and then asking myself "what would Dr. Shaw say?" I feel so fortunate to have taken a class with him, and hope I get to take more down the road.
