Reviews of professor Stephen Shortt

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Such a nice guy, really wants his students to succeed. Quizzes and PackBacks almost every week- do well on the quizzes (based on the readings) and complete the PBs and youll have a great grade. Helps his students out a lot. His lectures are very long and boring though, tends to ramble, so bring an energy drink with you to class.

Dr. Shortt is such a nice guy but man are the lectures long and very boring. I fall asleep most classes. You listen to him talk for 75miin straight that is it. There is packback due every week and a few quizzes and a final. It is not a hard class but it is just hard to go to. His quizzes are slightly difficult. kinda easy but boring class.

Wish that lectures were more involved. Would've loved to have more class discussions. I contracted this class for honors credit, but didn't want to do the 8 page paper required. Asked him if I could do a podcast instead and he agreed, he was very encouraging and great to work with.

I LOVED him and his class. He seems genuinely interested in what he's teaching and really encourages you to engage in class. The classes are pretty much all discussion about the articles read for homework and if you read the articles the discussion comes naturally. The quizzes come straight out of the reading and packbacks are a main part of grade.

Shortt is very monotoned and slow speaking. I am a good student and have never had trouble staying awake until this class. If you want a good grade take him. If you want to learn something I would find another professor.

He is a very nice man. He is always very understanding and approachable. His lectures tend to be boring, and it is easy to zone out; however, the class was enjoyable. He usually has a quiz every two weeks. The questions are typically T/F style. Be ready to read and understand the readings for the best performance. Packback Qs are due every week.

Class was a breeze and very interesting! I contracted for honors credit and the assignment is an 8 page paper due at the end of the semester. Grades are packback assignments and quizzes. Very very easy and a great class. Please take him!

Didn't really enjoy the class itself since it was a pre-req, but it was fairly easy. No tests, only online quizzes every week and discussion posts. One extra credit opportunity and a research paper for the final. The lectures were long and quite boring so I would skip and did just fine in the class.

Great professor. The class is lecture heavy, but it's a very straightforward class. Go, do the short readings, take some notes, and do the quiz. He's very flexible, caring, and willing to work with all his students. Would 100% take him again for any ethics class.
