Comment:

Shannon is probably the best psych prof at BU (however my 2nd and 3rd choices are right behind her!) She always tries to make examples relatable so you are able to remember them better! She also tries so very hard to be available to you and correspond to your needs! If you have a chance to take a class with Shannon, do it!!!

Tests are reasonably easy if you prepare, you are given test outlines! She is very helpful, gives opportunity for extra marks (bonus assignments) at the end of the semester. She is very well organized and to the point, one of my best professors.

Gadbois is entertaining and easy to listen to. As long as you commit to learning, she will do everything she can to make sure you are successful in her courses. Fair grader, gives lot's of feedback and even outlines for her exams. I LOVE her! Almost makes me want to switch to a psych major so I can continue taking her courses.

More work required for the final exam than 4th year major projects, and minimal feedback. I feel like I'm guessing to find the exact study she wants cited.

Absolutely LOVE Shannon's classes! She's hard to catch in person, but always available through email and gets back to you really fast! I found her tests super easy as long as you pay attention in class and study! Definitely would take ANY class with her again! Best class ever.

Gadbois gives you the best feedback on your exams because she goes through each short answer question and we exactly she was looking for. Also the night before the exam she has group chat online so you can ask her any last minute questions you may have which helps everyone so much! Definitely taking more of her classes in the future!

Amazing! She genuinely cares if you do well, provides excellent feedback and as long as your putting in the work, she will work with you! Never seen someone care as much as her and especially in a course with very challenging content. Down to earth, easy going and very brilliant. Wish she taught all my courses :)

Shannon is a professor sent from the heavens. Not only is she sarcastic and hilarious but she's compassionate and genuinely wants her students to do well. She gives detailed lectures and gives you time to write down your notes. She respects how hard it is to be a student and she has helped me not only in her class but in my other classes as well.

Best psychology prof that BU has by far!! I enjoyed going to her classes and listening to her stories. Her tests are fairly easy if you study enough. Gives bonus marks to help boost your mark. She also gives out test reviews, and make sure you go to class and know what information will be emphasized on for the tests!

Greatest professor I've ever had. If you print her slides off moodle that is basically your exam. If you go to class she makes it very exciting and interesting to listen to not boring at all she references celebrities and tells funny stories to help clarify information and is very approachable if you need help. Take her for every class possible

She was great, I can't think of anyway she could have possibly made it easier. She gives you all the lectures on Moodle, she tells you exactly what to study for tests, gives you practice q's. Plus she's interesting. As you can see from the pic being present, she's really into utilizing online tools.
