Comment:

Excellent professor, gave great feedback! Loved that there was only one (simple) grammar test. Other grades were assignments and one big project. Very supportive, let's you re-do one assignment. Easy A if you do the assignments

Business Communications is helpful but Dr. Shackelford is the pickiest person ever. It's a helpful class but I wouldn't take it as an easy class.

Comment:

Great, caring professor. Not easy per se, but a good grade is definitely doable if you keep up with the work and take advantage of office hours. Love the "journal" option--it's really 4 separate papers, but the informality of the assignment makes it less stressful than the alternative one research paper. Take her class!

Do not take this class if you want an easy A. I could have worked harder to get a good grade, but her grading policy is terrible. Her lectures are useless.

Class was useless and boring. Individual conferences though really were helpful and she was the nicest lady ever and really wants to see you do well-if she sees that you are at least doing your best.

Comment:

Most memorable to me for scrawling "pretenious Yankee writing" on one of my papers. Value of lectures is minimal, simply that she'll knock points for missing class. Plays heavy favorites.

Comment:

Nice Person, interesting reading but lectures were boring. I would recomend her but I got the feeling that she decided what kind of a grade you are worth with the first paper and doesn't really give you enough criticism to improve.

Interesting reading. Boring/useless lectures. Engaging group work. Fair grader of papers. Individual writing conferences. Let me do a rewrite of a bad paper; avg. two grades together. Good professor. Take her if you can. Earned a B+, and could have managed an A- if I'd worked a little harder.

Makes English interesting. Very upfront and clear about tests and essays. One-on-one essay help. Fair grader. Although the literature was boring at times, she tried to make it interesting. Several feminist works--very enlightening. Will enjoy!

Dr. Shackleford is great; really fun and into her class. She even dressed up like a hippie for one of our class discussions. She makes class fun and is an easy grader.
