Reviews of professor Richard Shaw

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Dr. Shaw is a nice prof, very educated and well respected. Pretty much a 50/50% chance that you'll either love him or find him very difficult. It's very hard to get anything higher than an 80% on any paper, although his quizzes are totally doable and I often scored 100 on those.

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Fantastic teacher with a wide knowledge of history; his lectures are engaging (and he's very funny). Readings aren't strictly necessary to understand the classes, but there are weekly quizzes and when it comes to essays you need to put in the effort if you want a good grade.

Dr. Shaw is an amazing prof. His lectures are well structured, interesting and overall enjoyable. There is a lot of work that goes into an essay for him, but if you put in the work and follow the structure he likes, a high eighty is very achievable. His exams require a ton of memorization. Be prepared before consulting with him.
