Reviews of professor Shannon Gleason

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Gleason is amazing! She really knows her stuff and is super understanding. One tip: try and speak up in her class! She likes (or at least seems to like) people who are outspoken and putting in genuine effort. Also be sure to read the news- the issues discussed in class are all very relevant to whats going on in the world!

Weekly quizzes on each chapter but she goes over pretty much everything that is on the quizzes in class right before she hands out the quiz. Participation is important. Really nice and understanding. Makes the subject really interesting. Not a super harsh grader.

VERY disappointing; the textbook in her class was insightful and relevant to our current world (focus on race/privilege), and yet she showed zero effort in teaching it. She canceled class 3 (!) times in a semester, and when we did had class, she would complain about she taught all day and then let us out early. Cavalier attitude- uninspiring.

Super sweet, but frustrating as she does not use plato often. book report at the end of the semester, most of the classes are discussion based. Not too much homework either. Definitely read the chapters assigned though.

Unimpressed by this professor. Barely held class, minimal work, no email responses. She seems to have just uploaded grades without putting much thought it. Easy class and not much learning involved. Waste of time.
