Reviews of professor Gregory Shaw

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He is one of the most caring and prepared professors I have ever had at SAIT. You do really need the textbook (you can even find an old version of the book online). Fair grader. You need to attend class and listen! Everything he tells you is what will be on the quiz!Good at communicating with students. Would take him again anytime!

. He skims over the most important things and most of the time doesn't even go through them in classes. The tests that we get do NOT reflect what was taught. Do NOT trust the review sheets he gives out as they will throw you off completely. Went from getting straight A's in other classes to getting D's in this. Please PICK a different instructor.

Greg is a good instructor in my eyes. While he does look over notes that he has created for lectures I feel it helps as when he writes on the board or goes over the slides he is clear and if you're lost it is easy to piece together what you're suppose to learn. I've learnt the concepts better compared to other instructors.

Nice guy, but teaching is definitely not his strong suit. Misses the chances to give in-class assignments to help with studying and understanding the material. Generally just reads off the slides and has boring classes. Clearly prepares for his lectures and has papers regarding the slides however he doesnt offer enough class material.

Communicates well as long as you reach out and talk to him. Very good at doing interactive lessons.

Greg, is very nice and understanding especially during near the end of the semester. Those who say he is bad are just people who do not try in school, he is helpful, engages students by doing review kahoots and his tests are very easy if you study. He gives you review for test which is on the test. He just reads slides word for word which is boring

My goodness, avoid at all costs. He is a nice guy, but his teaching style is not good AT ALL. His tests are the most difficult things to write. He mentions that he tries to give you marks but everything that was critical and most important in the tests he either skipped or just went through quickly. Most of the class dropped, save yourself the time

Do yourselves a favour and avoid this instructor at all costs if you don't want your GPA to take a critical hit. He prepares you for the things that don't show up on tests. Anything that he skims over in class is critical in the tests and finals. Please avoid him at all costs. He's only there to collect his pay cheque. Most of my class droppe class

What a terrible teacher. He doesn't know how to teach and does not care for the students' success at all. My class started with 40 people, but after the midterm, only 11 students are left. Most of the class failed because of his unrealistic tests. Please don't waste your time going to his class, you will regret it and have to withdrawal eventually.
