Reviews of professor Ian Shank

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Shank really cares about his students and truly just wants them to do well. He is relatable. Getting a good grade consists of doing the work and putting in the effort but it is not hard to get a good grade nonetheless.

Ian is great and by far the best rhetoric teacher. He actually cares and he is very approachable and willing to help. I always heard other students complaining about their rhetoric classes but I have had no problem with mine. Definitely recommend this class.

Ian is an amazing teacher. He gives students a lot of freedom to practice what they have an interest in while also creating a unifying and engaging class discussion. He is always willing to meet during office hours and discuss any concerns you have and give feedback on what you are working on. I highly recommend taking any of his classes.

Attendance questions made showing up to class more inviting. Ian cares about his students. Makes assignment guidelines really clear. Expect reading responses and papers and speeches but he does his best to avoid pop quizzes. Show up to class. Would enjoy to have him as a teacher in the future.

Love that guy. Grading is fairly hard but I think that is common to every Expos class so I can't blame him for it. He REALLY wants his students to become better writers and it shows: intensely detailed feedback, very nice about extensions, & he is basically always awake to respond if you email him a question. If you like con artists take his class

Ian is a great teacher, very passionate and funny. Makes the class go by a lot quicker and teaches well along with it. He is not necessarily a tough grader but you definitely have to work for a good grade. Would recommend again and again

I absolutely love Ian. He's the best TA I've had so far by a long shot. His feedback is fantastic and helpful, and I've never felt so encouraged to write and expand my horizons. Amazing choice of course content, hilarious dialogue, and friendly rapport with all students. Office Hours feel relaxed and colloquial, not intense or awkward at all.

I cannot stress how amazing this class is. Ian is very passionate which makes class easy and fun to go to. You learn not only rhetoric, but also about the world and issues with it.

Ian really cares about his students and makes the class interesting. There's a lot of topics that are controversial. Obviously rhetoric is an attendance based class, so that has nothing to do with your professor. Ian cares about his students. He is very transparent and makes sure you understand guidelines. Very easy to understand. Highly suggessted
