Reviews of professor Dawn Shearrow

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Doesnt explain what we need to know for exams, gives needless busy work. This class had a very middle school feel to it. There are students who range from age 20 yrs old to 50 yrs old so it was annoying she treated us like 10 yr olds. You will not learn anything. Takes over 5 weeks to grade papers & expects us to write the next one without feedback

Unclear grading criteria and I felt uncomfortable to ask questions. took a long time to get our grades back and not friendly and got mad when the class didnt participate. Doesnt really teach the material. The subject isn't boring so just take it with someone you think youll get along with

Taught myself the material. Don't take if you don't like busy work that doesn't affect your grade. I gave her a suggestion on how to get more class participation and i think that made her mad so she gave me an 80% on my paper when most got over 85%. Professors should grade objectively based on content of paper, not on who they like

This may be the biggest joke of a class I have taken so far in my college career. Felt like it was the biggest waste of time to even show up. Exams have the same exact questions than the provided study guide so they are an absolute breeze. Papers are time consuming and really pointless. Easy grader. Seems like an 7th grade level sociology class

Three individual papers, one group paper with a presentation, three exams, 18 quizzes (three lowest are dropped). The quizzes and exams are extremely easy. Directions for papers are very vague but she is a very easy grader. Lectures are not very important and do not have beneficial information so if you did not show up you will still do fine.

Easy class. The questions for the tests are given to you ahead of time. It's difficult to learn anything from lectures as they are not helpful to any assignments. Weekly quizzes, group project is the hardest thing. Even that is not too bad if you have a decent group.

This is not a hard class by any means. If you put in a little effort, it is not hard to get a good grade. Go to class, make an effort, and you will pass. I would definitely take her again!
