Reviews of professor Shannon Gyles

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Great online class. Use the practice quizzes online from LaunchPad to study for the tests. If you do that and at least read through the textbook, you'll be fine.

She's very nice and has a set weekly schedule for classes. Two lectures, plus a weekly quiz and "ALA" which usually means a short essay or project. Probably 3 hours max of work outside of class. The lectures are a little dry over zoom, but overall a fine class.

Tough grader and you have to guess your grade as you go.

I thought that the course was full of busy work, but I guess the grading criteria was very clear. She gives really good feedback if you miss points on your assignments, but I didn't really feel like the assignments themselves helped me learn. Since it's an online class, we also had to do discussions which are just a pain already.

I took this class online. As a senior, I thought this would be one of my easier classes. This professor made this class the hardest class I have ever taken. She hasnt graded anything since week 4 and also hides your overall grade so if you want to know your grade you have to calculate it yourself. Tests are difficult, study everything!!!

Shannon also has a pretty cool cat.

Professor Gyles's class was interesting, fun to attend, and content-heavy without being overly difficult. Each week, an essay and quiz were due, but they were all relatively short and graded on the quality of content rather than strictly quantity or format. Her cat would often interrupt class, which was just an added bonus. I would take it again!
