Reviews of professor Cathi Shaw

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
One of the most organized online courses I had this semester! Dr. Cathi gives really good feedback, and honestly this class boosted my confidence in writing academic papers by far. Can be difficult for those with no citing experience, and she gives quite alot of weekly assignments, but an overall fun class. I'd definitely take more classes with her

Her and her TA mark super hard especially for a first year english course. Really makes you work for it. There are many assignments due each week. Im not sure if Id recommend.

What an amazing professor! Dr. Shaw offers such a versatile course and really breaks down how to write different types of paper for university. I am so much more confident in my writing and she made it so fun and understandable. There are lots of assignments usually 1 per week and a 10 page research paper at the end, but totally reccomend!

I really enjoyed this class with Dr. Cathi! I dont normally like English but she made it so fun. This one was folklore and fairytales which was just so cool and interesting to look back at the stories of your childhood and see them in a different light.

Cathi Shaw is an excellent prof. She really cares for her students and goes above and beyond to bring homemade baked sweets to class. For our final she gave each of us paper bags with candy, chocolate, and inspirational quotes. She makes class engaging and interesting.

Very strict with assignments but makes up for it by providing very useful feedback. Gives a lot of weekly assignments but many are pass/fail.

Dr. Shaw is amazing! For those rating her poorly this semester clearly they were being difficult or not doing the assignments properly/never met with her on Zoom. If you even met on video once you'd know that Dr. Shaw cares about her students and is always willing to listen and help !!

Dr. Shaw is really sweet and was very accommodating when I let her know that some of the content caused me anxiety! She sent me different content and exempt me from a couple discussions that were hard for me. There are alot of projects/check-ins. Get ready to have a lot to do for this class.

This was my first University level English course and I was so grateful to get Dr. Shaw as my prof! She is the sweetest person and wants everyone in her class to succeed. She gave audio feedback because the course was online, and her grading was extremely fair. If you're looking for a ENGL course, take the one Dr. Shaw teaches.

Her class was very organized on canvas and she gave great feedback on our assignments. The class can be a lot of work at times, and difficult if you haven't had a previous teacher that taught you the basics of APA and MLA. Overall, I enjoyed her class.
