Reviews of professor Shannen Cravens

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Cravens had clear expectations in my opinion. Whatever was discussed in lecture would likely be on the exams.

Professor Cravens is the reason I wanted to drop out of Gonzaga (along with several other students). She piles way too much content in every class period and assigns ridiculous amounts of homework, that will leave you crying and staying up til 3am every night. She does not properly explain the content and is very condescending and rude.

Dr. Cravens is the best chemistry teacher I have had. She genuinely wants her students to understand the content and office hours are very helpful. There is a lot of homework on mastering chemistry and daily worksheets, but I think the work pays off on tests. Dr. Cravens gives a lot of resources for her students to understand all of the content.

the content is hard and fast paced, but dr. cravens is a really good professor. I would not be understanding chem without her. she takes feedback really seriously which is why she made the hw the past reviews were complaining about optional. lecture heavy. tests are difficult but fair. you must study and review. her office hours were very helpful.

Dr. Cravens was a very nice professor. She was able to clearly communicate all of the topics we covered and also let us know what was expected of us as her students.

Dr. Cravens turned a very difficult class into something manageable. She lectures every class but does not go too fast and makes sure to go over practice problems. She provides outside resources like worksheets and review sessions before exams. She makes it clear what is expected to know on the exam and is very approachable in office hours.

Dr. Cravens really does care about students and their progress. There is some homework, but nothing that will keep you up at night if you practice. Her office hours were extremely helpful, exams were somewhat easy, and it was easy to stay on top of the content. I would HIGHLY recommend if anyone is looking into taking her Chem 101 Lecture.

Dr. Cravens is an excellent professor. She is very funny and very patient if you ask her for help, and will continue to guide you towards your solution until you understand it rather than just giving it to you. I would definitely take a class with her again.

Dr. Cravens is the GOAT. Taking AP Chem was one of the worst academic experiences I have ever encountered, but she made me LIKE chemistry in CHEM101. She cares a lot about how you're doing in class and your future. Be prepared to study and don't shy away from office hours. I truly hope to take her again!
