Reviews of professor Marieken Shaner

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
My queen Marieken. Heavily lecture based but if you pay attention and take notes you'll be fine. We studied the night before tests. It's honestly a really interesting class and you can tell that she knows what she's talking about and she loves what she does. Don't buy the textbook. The final is so easy. I would literally take this class again.

Shaner is a great professor & very understanding! Lectures are interesting, and these are what the tests are based off of. You don't need the text book, just print out the lecture slides and take detailed notes in class. She doesn't take attendance, but you have to go if you want to pass. The entire grade is 4 tests, but 1 of them is dropped.

Make sure you do the extra credit! They are super easy and will boost your grade. I barely used the textbook and it's not really needed. Her tests are lecture heavy so make sure you record her lectures and retype them out! Her powerpoints don't really help, so make sure you are taking notes in class.

She is a very passionate & intelligent professor! Although she doesn't take attendance, GO TO ALL HER LECTURES! Her tests are purely based on the lectures so no textbook needed. It helps to record her lectures and re-listen to them and take GOOD NOTES during lectures. But she does give extra credits and drop one test so it's very easy to get an A!
