Reviews of professor Calinda Shely

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I literally love Calinda so much. I've taken her now for 4 total classes. If you participate in class and engage with the readings, you'll be set. Also super understanding as long as you communicate with her! Attendance isn't technically taken, but she grades for participation. Exams are written things, not actual memorization of content.

Calinda is absolutely amazing! This class was all about Shakespeare, and she made the discussions so fun! She often did overexplain assignments, but I know this was only because she did not want us to be confused and get the best grade possible. She also gave us the opportunity to choose 2 of the plays we read which made the class even better!

One of my favorite English teaches at NAU. I have had her twice already, and I already have another one of her classes next year planned. The classes are usually discussions and as long as you participate you get an A in the class. Her papers are straightforward. If you need to take any more English classes look for her name, you won't regret it!

While she does assign a lot of reading you should be able to handle it. She is one of the kindest and most caring profs. I've ever had. If you need an extension she will be more than happy to give it to you. This class is discussion based but the things you discuss in class are super boring! Just raise your hand once per class and you'll be fine.

Calinda is such a sweet professor. She really cares about her work and her students. This class was pretty much entirely discussion based, but as long as you do the reading you should be fine. She's also incredibly accommodating and understanding. I would definitely recommend taking one of her classes if you can.

Took this class because it was mandatory for my certificate in creative writing (Emphasis on Fiction). As with the other classes she teaches, she goes and turns it into a political science class. But I guess things have changed over the years. I never knew that critiquing 17-18 century literature was about examining the science of transgenderism.

when i tell you i would die for this woman i mean it! she is so sweet! if you're interested in talking about women for four months, take this class. you have to buy about 5 books for all the reading but they're older and can be bought cheap. a lot of writing! also please participate because she is the best and tries to make discussions fun!

Prof Shely is a very kind lady. Her class is nearly 100% discussion based and she adds a lot of good insight. Her reading material can be a bit dark but she does a good job keeping the class light and moving along. Do the readings, show up, chat with your classmates, write a bit and you'll pass.
