Reviews of professor Shawn Gear

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Late start 2 month class. Online wkly quizzes 1-2 due Sun. Teaches thru pre-made ppts, not hers. Had 2 essays due a week a part from each other. Online final, but still made us come JUST to SIGN IN. All Qs from quiz and final are on quizlet, word for word. smh. She also gets confused from her own directions. Doesnt teach, just tells. EZ A..?

Shawn is such a sweetheart her lectures are very informative. The class has a lot of tests, and you need to take a lot of notes. I feel as if I didnt retain anything from the lectures to use towards the quizzes. The class itself is an easy A if you do all the assignments and participate. But I honestly dont remember much from the class.

Gear relied on group projects to teach the chapters. She never taught us and when she did it was from already made powerpoints. She does not grade anything until the last day when grades are due. She is not easy to contact outside of class. She is nice but does not teach what she needs. Attendance matters which she doesn't mention until the end.

only teaches from power points it wouldn't be so bad except she will show a slide with multiple important notes and she will only spend 5 seconds on the slide and move on so note taking is impossible. she skips many slides and you miss out on a lot of information. And if your absent you get a 0 for the project even if you did it alone out of class

She taught us the first few chapters but then required us to group up and teach the class the second half of the chapters. Grading didn't get done until the last few days of the semester. Due dates and project requirements were constantly changing, nothing was consistent.
