Reviews of professor Shawn Newman

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I was in this class with a friend of mine and he dropped the class before it started and i chose to keep it just cuz. i realized that it was online and was the best thing ever, you get up to 2 weeks to work on your assignment which is a blessing. i got the book on library genesis and used it to easily search key words for assignments. easiest class

By far the best professor at Saint Martin's University. I have taken every class offered by Newman, and he is amazing at what he does. He keeps discussions current and keeps the lectures interesting. There are 4 exams and a presentation (sometimes solo, sometimes group) and provides great feedback. Take him if you get the chance!

This man is WILD in class, but online he is chill. Also, don't buy the book it's online for free.

This professor is not good at all online. He is very harsh with grading and not willing to help you pass. Although everything just switched to online, he still gives no room for error.

Not a good online professor to take.

Honestly this class was not that difficult but this professor needs online teaching improvement. The way he makes you take his exams is terrible. Half the times the answers dont save and you need to write all your answers on a doc which is the worst thing ever, because this does not happen in any other class. I would not take this professor.

Newman is an interesting professor. You can easily pass without the book as long as you can do some research and listen to the lectures. He grades a little bit easier if you participate in the class and engage. He can give some solid feedback on tests or papers, make sure you read it.
