He is wonderful! The tests aren't hard, and he still curves hem like crazy. And if ur still unhappy, he will give u extr credit. He is great and he really cares. Do yourself a favor and take his class.

He was awsome! So much fun, and his classes are very relaxed, low pressure. I think he may have already retired, but if not, he is a must!! take him if you can!

Shirkey was awesome 20 years ago when I took him for research methods and stats. Friendly, funny, and highly knowledgeable. Even helped me get into graduate school. I’ve had over 100 professors and he’s in the top 10.

Most of the instructors at UCF should sit through one of Dr. Shirkey's lectures and learn how teaching should be done. Best Professor ever!!!

Comment:

One of the best teachers at UCF!!! Class was fun, interesting, and great learning environment. I feel Shirkey teaches the right way. He doesn't constantly stress about the test and eases you with his funny sense of humor during lectures. I learned more in his class than any other. Awesome guy!!! TAKE THIS CLASS!!!

Comment:

Shirkey is HOT! He has great stories, he drinks okay bear. I expected more from the other side of the world of parapsychology world, tests were a challange, even with the excellent study sheets it was still hard to know what was needed on the tests. What is most important however, is that Shirkey is one hunk of HOTNESS!!!!

Dr. Shirkey is awesome. He has a good sense of humor and is very laid back. It was a 3 day a week class, but we only met 2 days. You learn a lot, and he is very helpful. He knows what he's doing unlike a lot of other professors. Take him if you can..you won't regret it!
