Reviews of professor Shannon Freire

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She is very knowledgeable, and oozes positive energy in her lectures. I always sat near the back yet could hear her perfectly. The reading is very time consuming, and the InQuizitives can make you go mad after a while.

This professor is very average. I am indifferent towards her, though I will say her lectures are interesting only to be brought down by her open ended questions where she relies on the class for answers. Expect her to look for volunteers often and dead silence until someone answers her questions, which she typically asks 4-5 times in a lecture.

All quizzes are copied from Quizlet, textbook was required but lectures were posted with exact same content so I wasted my time reading. 10/10 teacher, so nice and you can tell she really cares about her students and their grades. Boring topic, but she did lots of activities for extra credit opportunities.

Love Dr. Freire! She is incredibly intelligent and personable. Her class is based in discussion (so lots of critical thinking and participation needed) which Dr. Freire facilities wonderfully. I would 100% take a class with her again.

Dr. Freire is an excellent professor. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject that she teaches. She also conducts her classroom in a warm, conversation-heavy, yet professional setting. She does assign a fair amount of reading along with weekly activities that you must participate in.

Professor Freire is a wonderful human being with a great balance of being super passionate about what she is discussing and teaching the material from the textbooks. You can absolutely get away with skimming the textbook chapters. I would love to have her again.

Exams are not cumulative, Inquzitives are easy as long as you stay on top of them, provides extra credit.  Super engaging and you can tell she really enjoys what she's talking about.

Can tell she very much cares for what is being taught. Asks for feedback on assignments and labs. Weekly short assignments that take less than an hour to do. She does give a study guide and if you study that I promise you will pass exams! Lecture heavy class with "check-in" assignment. Weekly labs that can be finished in class. Best prof. at MU.

Dr Freire looks is a literal angel. She is incredibly caring, easy-going, and her lectures are actually fun and interactive. The class was super interesting and easy to follow along with. I recommend reading the textbook, but you don't necessarily need to bc she goes over everything in class and posts it too. Quizzes easily found on quizlets.
