Reviews of professor Kristi Shaffer

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Her class is very fast paced and relies heavily on lectures. She gives you the notes/material ahead of time on Canvas so getting the book is recommended (by her) but not necessary (my opinion). You will have a book review and she grade's them heavily. Otherwise, the tests are all multiple choice and true/false with minimal writing needed.

Make sure you read the textbook, so around 150 pages every week, and the book. I had around a 85% in the test category, but her stupid quizzes cost me a B.

Prof. Shaffer is for sure a knowledgeable historian. Her class is essentially lecture for 2 weeks and then a fair 50 question test, and so on. Lectures are fun, but can get a little bit taxing. However, lecture notes/study guides are posted for you. In my experience, as long as you fill out the study guide and study it; you're going to do fine.

Ridiculous amount of reading to do through the text book. Never understood why we would take the quizzes before even going over the notes. Tests were pretty easy, but quizzes hurt my grade pretty. Also the final paper we have to right on the book is graded as if we are in a language class.

Loved her. Super nice, really good at giving lectures. I had a C throughout the semester, but she gave me an A at that end. I think she knew I was working hard in her class, and I wanted to prove that. I ended the semester with a project which I received a 98%. Wish I had an opportunity to take more of her classes!
