Reviews of professor Jacob Shelley

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I love Shelley!! He's adorable. Only thing is he does tend to rant and go on tangents in his lectures. But pro tip - you don't need to watch them if you just read the textbook its the same info. I personally loved his lectures and law from the barn but i understand how he can be a little unprepared at times. But honestly, I think he's super cool.

I took this class just to see what a law class is like. Dr. Shelley is a really entertaining professor. Law can be quite dry at times, and he made class palatable. Overall a great choice if you can get him. Class itself is very memorization heavy, and could be argued to be very nit-picky, but Dr. Shelley still tries to make it interesting.

Hilarious dude and overall great prof. Make sure you keep up with the cases and know the specific circumstances because that's what he tests you on. Sick tatts but hope he's doing better. Also, pay attention to his personal anecdotes because they might show up on the exam in the form of a case.

Happy that this course falls under health science, and even happier that Shelley is teaching it! A great guy, who uses class time to advocate for important issues :)

he seems like he is a good prof. really funny during his lectures and tries to apply real life examples in order to understand concepts which is nice :)

Shelley is funny and engaging, but his lectures are far from necessary. Read the textbook, memorize the textbook. Know the basics of the laws, and the general aspects of the case studies and you will be fine. Not the best course but great for those that love memorization. Was not my favourite.

Shelley spent a good part of class last year bashing religion based on his childhood experiences. The other part of classes he spent masking his political opinions as facts.

always going off on tangents in lectures, exam questions are extremely hard and specific, testing the most minor pieces of information...

avoid if possible.

I have had the privilege of being taught by Dr. Shelley in 3 courses now... and if I could I would take more! His expectations of students are clear, and he's always approachable and nice to talk to in office hours. First time I met him, he sat with me for 30min giving career advice. If you can get into one of his health sci special topics, do it!!

Although this course is super memorization heavy (as expected - it is a law course), Shelley did a great job explaining the concepts. When taking notes, I would recommend writing down his examples instead of the explanations he provides, as they can all be found in the course package. Ultimately, an enjoyable course.
