Reviews of professor Michon Shaw

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Shaw made a class that was supposed to be on campus; an incredible online experience. Her directions are clear, to the point, and she lets you know what she expects a head of time. Professor Shaw is always quick to respond to emails to assist students in whatever help they need, questions they have. I will always recommend her class!

She waited until the last three days to grade our tests. So I never knew what I actually had. She actually didnt even grade one of the quizzes. She was super nice, helpful and fast emailer but absolutely terrible grader.

I love Prof Shaw as a teacher. She cares about her students and their passions. For this course, the book is really needed as you can't do most of the assignments without it. There are some group projects where you will need to meet with others through some online video chat or in person and record yourselves. Class was really needed and helped.

She is a really nice but only has silent classes and you cannot speak at all. How are you supposed to ask questions about what she is saying if you dont know the language because you are learning. It discourages questions and understanding. Also she never answers emails and didnt grade IMPORTANT/ HIGH POINT assignments until the end.

Professor Shaw is super sweet and responsive to emails. She makes herself available to the students if they need any help. There is a lot of reading in her course, a few videos, and a film that you need to watch and the class is mostly based off of papers and quizzes about those materials. There is one big group project, hard work but easy.

Mrs. Shaw is a great teacher and cares about her students. She only does voice-off class and signs 99.5% of the time. I had her during the pandemic so we did it over zoom. A good amount of quizzes for the units and had to do receptive and expressive quizzes. Doesn't respond quick when emailing outside of class but will in less than a day or two.

Professor Shaw is a very nice woman, however she is simply not accessible outside of class.

You have to purchase a pricey membership to go react where you turn your video assignments. She graded assignments weeks late, so you never knew your real grade. Only an estimate of the assignments than were graded by Canvas. She responded to questions with little to no explanations. Definitely would not take her as an online class.

I'm not sure why she has such a low rating. She really cares about her students. Not knowing anything about ASL before, I can genuinely say that I learned so much with her. There is a lot of work but if you keep up with it, the class is so fun and easy. It is a silent class, but that's what pushes you to learn how to use ASL to ask your questions!
