Reviews of professor Shawn Mendez

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The grading system Dr. Mendez used was really confusing at first, but it's really helpful. As long as you meet all the required criteria it isn't hard to do well in the class. She could be a little rude if you didn't do things perfectly, which kinda makes it hard to participate. The material is super interesting, one of my favorite soc classes.

A's on every other assignment in her class, never missed anything but I emailed her a question about the final which was crucial and she never answered so I did the final, finished. 2 days later and 3 hours before the final was due she emailed back saying not to use them and to restart 2 papers (the final is 5) well that's impossible and I failed.

This class was the worst thing I have ever gone through while in school. Her grading affected everyone in the class because there was no partial credit so if there was one thing she didn't like about an assignment you didn't get a grade for it. apart from that you had three or more assignments per week which was hard to keep up with.

GO TO HER OFFICE HOURS! I cannot stress that enough because I definitely would've failed if I hadn't. She seemed very intimidating to me the first few months of class (although she's very funny, she gives off an air of The Challenger personality type), but she's much less intimidating in her office. Her feedback isn't always very clear, so GO!
