Reviews of professor Shelley Polonski

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Prof. Polonski is so laid back & even grades late work unlike a lot of professors out there. She communicates well & emails back pretty quickly, but she does grade slow. Just know the material, turn your stuff in & she cuts you some slack. If youre doing online, dont be shy, show your face, & treat her like shes human, itll make her week :)

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
At first she was intimidating on the first day, this could be because she has a dark sense of humor. She genuinely is passionate about what she is teaching. There is lots of reading, and I was not a fan of that, but she gave opportunities to get extra credit.

Lots of lectures

Prof. Polonski is an amazing professor that I would definitely recommend for history 1301. She offers so much extra credit and sets clear guidelines throughout her course. The only reading is for inquisitive & discussions. You can get exempted from her final, & it is not hard at all because her students take their tests online and can use notes.
