Reviews of professor Calinda Shely

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Most of the class is discussion based and the readings aren't too long/difficult. Some very simple assignments but nothing to stress about. She definitely knows what she's talking about. Calinda is super nice but something about her bugs me a bit. I'd take another class with her because of how easy it is, even if she isn't my favorite professor.

For a 300 level Shakespeare class Shely teaches like we are all in middle school again with over explanations of what an essay is, what citations are, and forcing people to talk about mundane parts of plays that have no relevance to the significance or story of the play. Not horrible but you won't gain any insight or advance discussion.

Genuinely wonderful. Cares a lot about students and has clear expectations and schedules. A lot of reading, but the discussions and activities are engaging and fun enough that it feels very worth the time.

Pretty good teacher, very fair and accommodating. Class could get a bit boring but overall was pretty good

The class as a whole is very surface-level, but it does introduce you to a lot of awesome reading material! Calinda also really amps up what she's teaching and gives it a lot of life. You can tell she's read these passages a thousand times and has love for each and every one of them.
