Reviews of professor Laine Shay

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Mr. Shay is AMAZING! He gives the funniest lectures/videos. He is always available during office hours and willing to help you. His class consists of 2 exams, 2 essays, and 1 group project. It is pretty easy and I would expect that for intro level class.

The online class for American Government and Politics was very easy and you have one short quiz at the end of each week and three exams including final! She had us write 3 essays but they were only worth 1 point each so I skipped them and it did not hurt my grade at all! Highly recommend this class especially to raise you Gpa!

Dr. Shay is amazing. He is so nice and wonderful. He allows for an open debate in class. It was an easy A!

The other reviews on this website were written by the Professor. In my years of being a student at UMD I have never dealt with a more unprofessional and rude professor. Dr. Shay calls students names in class, follow them around campus, make students cry for their political opinions and classes would offer little opportunity for learning. Beware.

If you're looking for professionalism or to learn something you came to the wrong place. Dr. Shay is probably the worst prof I ever had not because his class was difficult or the material was boring, but because of his actions.

Laine Shay is an Associate Professor at UMD filling in for the loss one of the most respected professors to ever come through this system. It cannot have been easy for him, but his attitude towards his students has proven that he does not have the temperament to be a college professor. I do not recommend his classes for anyone. He holds grudges.
