Reviews of professor Kristy Shih

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I Loved Kristy, she's really funny and engaged with all her students. clear grading criteria (easy grader too) her tests were a bit hard but she listened to the class and had a generous curve. if you express concerns to her she acts on it. she cares about her students passing!

I really liked this professor. The only thing that bothered me was she said discussions were graded simply by the fact that you did them, but then she would take points off if you weren't thorough enough. Other than that she was clear on expectations and I learned a lot from this course.

Wouldn't take again , Take another professor ! lectures are long and boring and Professor has a hard time making content digestible and connecting with students. Easy tests , but papers graded harsh even when following rubric .

I really appreciate Dr. Shih she was always available and made her online class interesting. I would love to take more of her classes. She is a good grader and her discussion question and exams are straightforward all you have to do is study her study guide and listen to her lectures.

Her exams can be seen as somewhat difficult yet there was no curve as stated by other peers. Grades harshly on papers and leaves you questioning your writing ability. The 400 levels of HDEV are not as tough as this class. She however is wonderful, just wish she would be more understanding to her students.

AWESOME PROFESSOR. Great lectures, funny, and understanding. I seriously loved this class. The exams were hard but everything else makes up for it.

Professor Shih is very passionate about what she teaches. Her 357 class consists of easy short 1 pg papers, 1 large life course paper, and 2 exams. She gives study guides for exams but I would recommend going over the sections in the book. Attendance is mandatory and a big part of your grade. She does not post lecture slides online.

Pretty easy class. Grades off of discussion post and a couple of activity papers. Midterm and final were a little difficult but study guides helped a lot. All in all pretty good class and very nice professor.
