Reviews of professor Shen Pan

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I thought him and his lectures were easy because you could skip the reading and still know what was going on. He didn't assign much and told us the first day that not attending wouldn't dock you. He was not strict except for the 3 big essays, which you just have to read the grading criteria carefully. Overall, he was a very chill professor.

Professor cares most about the personal understanding of concepts rather than grades. Rather than grading us on each reading, he gives us half the lecture time to discuss our thoughts on each new paper and practice our philosophical reasoning strategies.

Professor Pan was a great professor, but I felt overwhelmed by the teaching style that he presented his lectures with. He used words that I didn't even know existed, and was left most classes confused on what he was presenting. Overall he was a kind professor who will give extensions with a good excuse. If you are smart you'll most likely be fine.
