Comment:

She was hilarious and interesting. I had a wonderful time in her class although it is demanding and at times she is very specific about what she wants/expects. Fair grader, go in with an open mind since you must take her class to graduate.

Comment:

Absolutely horrible teacher. She may (or may not) be a good person but she is rude, selfish, and hypocritical. She always shows up late and really shows she doesn't really care for her students. Worst class I've ever had on a subject matter I really like.

Comment:

If you're a PR major, you can't avoid Shores for PR 380. It's a tough class but it's doable- Make the AP stylebook your LIFE, always have her look over your writing before turning it in and make your final project creative and grammatically correct. Participate in class, be creative in you writing and follow stylebook and you'll be fine.

Horrible Professor! Condescending, rude, and mean to ALL, no exceptions. Belittles students in front of the class, flip-flops on what she tells you from one week to the next, and assigns ridiculous amounts of reading/busy work. Do NOT take this class, I wouldnt have if I'd known.

She is a nice person, but a terrible teacher. She is a really hard teacher, unless you are a baseball player. Do not take her.

Wicked Witch of the West! The worst teacher I have ever had. Shores is rude and outright mean almost every class. Do not get on her bad side, although this her only side. DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE UNLESS YOU CONTRIVE PLEASURE FROM POINTLESS RULES AND CONFUSION.

Comment:

grab the women and children and run for cover! Quite possibly the most bitter, disrespectful teacher I have ever encountered. Assignments given are pure "busy work" and she has no concept of students needs or wants. Awful, horrible, terrible. I would leave school before enduring her class one more minute.

Comment:

Condescending, rude, and bitter are a few words that describe this woman as a professor. I have no desire to have anything to do with PR after taking this class with her. I just wish I would have known this before so I could have avoided the knife to my GPA.

Comment:

She's a beast. Literally, one of the most condescending people I have ever encountered in my life! She is rude to her students... she reinstated a midterm even after saying we wouldn't have one. She gives wrong information and then the students get penalized. She is horrible and should be fired.

Comment:

This is the WORST teacher I have ever had in my life. She is mean, and makes all the students feel stupid. She acts like we should know everything even before she teaches us. She's unapproachable, unclear and an unfair grader. I would change my major to get away from her. Run and Hide from her!
