Reviews of professor Richard Shumate

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. S was my favorite professor this semester. Hes super caring and fun and is super lenient on due dates. He posts all of the lecture slides on Blackboard so if you miss a class you can just take notes over the slides. He has discussion boards and quizzes for almost every lecture but only had 2-3 small projects total minus the midterm and finals.

Shumate was such an easy prof. Especially for this class. His lectures are short and sweet, and he tries his best to make them fun. He gives so many extra credit opportunities. I will say it feels like a pointless class after a while, but attendance is graded. Homework questions are easy, and so are discussion boards. Would take again!

Dr. Shumate is very knowledgable on the subject and is honestly an amazing prof. I have taken him for two classes, but in his JOUR 202 class he takes a lot of points off for things like missing commas but gives good feedback and the chance to rewrite news stories. Awesome dude.

Very good Professor. He gives really good feedback on your papers and is super passionate about journalism, I learned a lot in his class. Super nice and clear in his lectures, he even gave us cookies on our last day of class! Would love to take again.
