Reviews of professor Shannon Vance

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This woman goes on tangents about things that don't end up being on exams. She leaves all her work to her TA and shows up late to lectures. She is inconsistent with what is in the textbooks and blames her students for not caring or being on top of what she says after calling them out randomly.

Professor Vance hardly showed up for class, and gave us the wrong review for our final exam. Both exams have open ended questions that are difficult. Very hard to work with. Due dates frequently changed and don't expect to see your grades, especially the important ones for a while. Luckily, our class had a great GA that saved us from doing poorly.

DO NOT TAKE HER CLASSES. She doesnt grade ANYTHING and she goes missing for so long. We had assignments with no due dateit was very very VERY poor communication. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS SHE IS THE WORST.

This instructor was very unorganized; all she did was share her opinions on the subject matter. She's extremely biased and grades based on her favorite students. I will NEVER take a course with her again. Avoid at all costs.

Dont take unless you have too! She didnt show up of Fridays, left it to the GA. Tons of map quizzes! Hope you love geography. Lectures were like story telling, hard to take notes. Did not put up powerpoints...

The professor was very political. Never shows up on class on time always late. She uses her teaching power to embarrass her students. she calls on students and expects them to know everything about the topic. She heavily uses Crash Course and the textbook for you to learn but doesn't talk about it in class.

Rambles too much

Did not care about our African American history class at all. Tried to guilt trip us when she had personal things going on in her life , didnt grade work for 4 months straight. Ghosted our class for about 4 weeks.

Dr. Vance is knowledgable about the material, however her lecture skills are not the greatest. She is very all over the place and will ramble off topic sometimes. Very slow at putting up study guides for exams, couldn't go to tutoring to get help because had no time with guide. Map quizzes are easy, basic stuff. Be prepared to do this class alone.

Dr. Vance was absolutely absent the entire semester. She also doesn't grade in a timely manner (midterm and assignments from September still aren't graded). I'm not sure what she was doing all semester but she doesn't seem to care for this class or her students at all

I had Dr. Vance for a graduate level course (HIST 5230) but for some reason I couldn't select it to write this review. She graded almost every assignment at the very end of the course. Of the things she graded on time, one was 19 days (nearly 3 weeks) after being submitted. It was only a 5 week course. Bad communication, no actual teaching.
