Reviews of professor Brendan Shapiro

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
he's one of the best professors I've had at CSN. very easy going and willing to help students at all times! as long as you put in the work, he will make sure u pass his class. lots of reading, but they're helpful materials for class and outside of class, very sweet guy and can be funny sometimes.

I took Dr. Shapiro for Monsters in Literature and Cinema. Absolutely my favorite class I've taken so far in college. A lot of work, but so worth it and engaging. You have to be willing to read and keep up with the work because it can be a lot, but the books, short stories, and films are so interesting and the lectures and discussions are so fun!

Honestly best professor ever. Lenient about late work as long as you let him know he is very kind and understanding. When he posts videos for you to watch he explains very well. Just follow the instructions and you'll be good. Seems like a great guy! Lowkey did the bare minimum and passed for ENG 100

Dr. Shapiro is the best professor I have had so far in my time at CSN. He gives you honest yet helpful feedback on all your papers. You have to write three papers based on a social problem. Although they are multiple pages, if you pick a topic you really like the class will be easy. He is also very easy to get in touch with and super nice.

Prof. Shapiro is awesome! Three essays, one project that wasn't an essay, lots of class discussions, and extra credit every week. The class discussions are so helpful! I just wish I could have met Prof. Shapiro in person! His feedback is awesome and I grew so much as a writer and researcher during this course. Do your work and you'' be fine.

If you take the class seriously, the class isn't hard at all. Especially with the professor's advice.

Professor Shapiro is amazing! He was very helpful whenever I needed his feedback on my work. One can tell that he cares deeply about his students' success. With all that being said, he is not the type to chase you for not doing your work because he wants his students to understand responsibility. I would absolutely take his class again.

Dr. Shapiro was extremely fair and you could tell he enjoys what he does. The lessons were well thought out to prepare you for the essays and his feedback was always helpful; he always responded to emails and provided fully structured assistance on any assignments. The extra credit assignments he offered each week were always appreciated.
