Reviews of professor Timothy Shannon

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Shannon is an excellent professor. His enthusiasm towards teaching and explaining inorganic chemistry made a very technical subject relevant and entertaining. He encourages his students to perform well academically, but is also concerned with more than just grades. He cares about each of his students as people. He is also a very funny guy.

Shannon is a horrible teacher. I do not recommend taking chemistry if he is the professor, you will struggle. He does not come to class prepared, he flies through lecture. He likes to tell you things last minute (like your failing his class). He also puts things on the exam that you learned during the last 5 minutes of lecture. Don't take his class

A passionate professor. If you pay attention in class, do the homework online and took 110 before (just because there are a lot of lab procedures introduced there that wouldn't be repeated in this course), then you are perfectly fine. Think of him as a resource to help study the material, don't expect absolute lectures. Work it out for yourself!

He is a nice person, but a bad teacher in my opinion. Unless you took AP chem or chem is your hobby I would never take his class. Low class average, hard exams and the practice does not prepare you for it the exams.
