Reviews of professor Erik Shaver

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Shaver's class is relatively simple if you put forth initiative. Show up and participate during in class discussion. You have 2-3 papers during the class along with 20 volunteer hours outside of class. The articles you read are insightful and interesting. The things you learn are imperative to know as an educator!

He is okay just haven't heard from him much. Not a lot of homework but heavy on group discussion and projects.

This has been one of the greatest professors I have ever had. He explains the content well and will always be available if you need any clarification. He truly cares about his students and helps shape them into great teachers. If you ever have the opportunity, definitely take his class.

Dr. Shaver is one cool dude. This is one professor who you can really tell is passionate about his field. He leads a flipped classroom where it is very discussion based and the students lead the discussion. It's a very relaxed class where you talk about important topics. The downside to this class is that we only had two assignments by the midterm.

Shaver is one of the best teachers I've had at Ball State! He really cares for his students and is hilarious. Although attendance isn't mandatory, all of his classes are pretty much group discussions. He does his best to accommodate every student. Would definitely take again and highly recommend to other students!

One of the best professors I've had. You get 3 absences, so use them wisely. May or may not get placed with a teacher that teaches the subject you want, but is still a great introduction to teaching.
