Reviews of professor Justin Shows

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Genuinely a great dude. He brought candy for Easter and Valentine's Day for the class. Would set up a Zoom meeting almost any time of night if you couldn't figure out the project. Also, I forgot to turn in one of the projects before the deadline (although I had already finished). I emailed him and he made sure the TA didn't take off points. Clutch.

Dr. Shows was a very solid professor for learning SAS. I stopped showing up after the second week because it was easier for me to learn on my own. Despite this Dr. Shows was super accessible over email and helped me fix issues with my programs. There are 11 assignments and use the examples he posts theyre usually just the reworded assignment

Goes above and beyond to help students. Very accessible outside of the classroom. Class is challenging but not particularly hard as long as you read the modules. He also helps a lot with the assignments and gives out study guides for the exams! Would take him again if I could

Very easy grader. Not the best teacher, gets side-tracked a lot. Homework assignments each week. Topics weren't easy, but tests are graded easily.

Dr. Shows is a cool professor and he is very accessible outside of class. He posts all the notes and lectures online so you don't have to go to class if you don't want to. Assignments are straight forward and your lowest one gets dropped. Only three exams and he gives you a study guide + you can have a full page of notes for each test (2 for final)

He is a pretty decent teacher, exams are pretty clear, study guide is very similar to the exam. Assignments are pretty hard honestly just go to office hours.

This was one of my easiest classes this semester; 10 assignments, three exams, no final, and all the exams were open note. Assignments were always super straightforward, and if you do watch them, his lecture videos are really in detail, though you could get by with just reading the notes. taking him spring for STA4202.

Homework is incredibly difficult and due weekly. But, you can probably get the answers from someone. The tests are incredibly easy, he practically makes you the cheat sheet you are allowed to use on the test. He is an incredibly lenient grader. Didn't show up to class, never did a homework assignment on my own, never studied, got a B+.

I had Dr. Shows for STA 4202 in Spring 2022, and I'm just about to start taking STA 4203 with him this semester. I appreciate that he puts his course outlines on Canvas, so it's easy to go over the material in advance, and it also serves pretty well as a makeshift textbook (seeing that I'm a low income student, I like not having to buy a book!)
