Reviews of professor Joshua Shaffer

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Shaffer was a good teach. His lectures were available on canvas and everything was empirical. I will admit some sections were harder than others so I did the practice probs and would go to tutoring center. All the practice problem solutions on canvas with most step by step solution. I took algebra and trig, so maybe that why I found it easygoing

He doesn't teach..I mostly worked by my own and watched videos online. it was the most stressful class I had. I took his class because his rating wasn't bad; he's probably a good professor in person but online, not at all. Don't take him unless you CAN learn everything by yourself.

Honestly I always liked my math classes, but I really didnt like taking this class for the most part. Taking it online was really a nightmare and I felt like I was doing it all on my own with little to no help. Maybe his class would be better in person, but definitely not online.

Best Prof. ever, curves exams, guy really tries to help anyone in the class that is willing to listen, he goes above and beyond. If you care about your grade and want to know calculus take him, guy is a LEGEND!

He has a quiz and an exam for every chapter. You are allowed to use a formula sheet and calculator for exams, and calc only for quizzes, but guess what? none of those are available for the final, so make sure you study the entire book and do all the suggested problems. His class is 2 hours and we get no breaks. Part-time teacher so no office hours.

I took his class in the summer and it was hybrid. He was SO helpful and understanding. As long as you communicate well with him, he will be there in any way to help you pass. He cares about his students and tries to connect with them. He understands what he teaches and explains it very well. I wish he taught calc 2

If you want to do good, I would 100% recommend this professor. This is hard class and he breaks it down for you to make sure that you understand and not lost.

HIghly recommend professor Shaffer. Has review questions for previous lectures every class. Homework is recommended and he has the worked out solutions for them in canvas. Will help solve out any question you ask him. Really cares if you succeed and gives you the tools to do so. Overall, if you put the effort in you'll get the grade you want.
