Comment:

Shelley has to be one of the best profs in the english department at queens. She genuinely cares for the students and will do anything to help you out in the most endearing way possible. Her attention to detail and love of the course draws you into. I'll count myself lucky if I get this great prof again in upper year courses.

Comment:

Prof. King is a professor dedicated to engaging her class in driving an active course. She is kind, and a very clear lecturer. At first, I was not a fan of her as a teacher, but over the term I found that she was engaging and her dedication brought me to work harder as I found myself academically stimulated; a professor who grows on you!

Comment:

King is a great prof. Extremely smart. Helpful, if you're willing to ask, and tough too. If you're not doing well, she'll help you improve. Young men who are in love with themselves tend to blame their marks on her "feminism" - as if it's a dirty word. Don't listen to them. All her classes are great. But they're not for the lazy.

Comment:

She's great. She is knowlegeable, funny and thought-provoking. Her class is demanding in every way. Yet, after all, we're at University to learn and to work. She certainly makes you do both, and her teaching is memorable. I'm such a fan. Don't miss her!

She allowed me to rewrite my first, disastrous essay... She recognized that I was an individual, and helped to remind me of my potential.

Professor King deserves an A plus. One of my favourite professors, always ready to help and lend a hand, extremely devoted to material presented, particularly Victorian Literature. A true inspirational teacher.

Falsely accused me of something I did NOT say. Suspect her to be a man-hater.
