SHADY IS THE BEST. I have her 4 out of the 5 days of the week and never get tired of her! Not only is she an excellent teacher, but she gives great life lessons and provides moral support. For example, she gives us cookies and tells us about life at Bethel. :)

Comment:

Shady is so great! I took Modern Mind for my L tag and loved every minute of it! She really makes you think about current problems our world faces and how we can help. There is a lot of reading and some of it is boring, but other books are so interesting and inspiring! 10/10 would recommend taking a class from her if you have the chance!

You can get away with not reading the required readings but need to skim them to write reviews. She goes over readings very thoroughly and is super helpful. Tests are super easy if you fill out the study guide completely. 10/10 would take one of her classes! Get to know her.

Dr. Shady is a great professor. Don't listen to other reviews saying that she does not allow certain points of view. She creates an open and respectable environment in her classroom. 10/10 would take again LOL

Dr. Shady is a great prof. She is super helpful and gives great feedback. Her door is always open to students and she will help you if you need help. She's a pretty lax grader, but don't think that that allows you to screw around in her class. Great teacher, 1010 would recomend

Dr. Shady is fantastic! She genuinely cares about each and every one of her students, and will help you to succeed if you so desire. I actually have very little interest in philosophy, but taking Meaning and Persons from her made the subject interesting and enjoyable. She is a brilliant philosopher and woman of faith. Would highly recommend.

Jump at the chance to have her for a professor. Her classes are very easygoing and don't come with a lot of stress, but at the same time expect to be intellectually stimulated. She is incredibly personable and is truly interested in her students' lives beyond the classroom. She also has a tendency to trip over everything, which is entertaining.

Best CWC small group leader ever!! Very sweet and helpful, and never belittles anyone. Spends small group time preparing you for your test so you don't have to study as much.

She was absolutely wonderful! Her optimism and positivity really pushed me to try hard and find interest in a subject i would find absolutely horrible or boring. I would suggest her 100%!. She goes above and beyond to help the students with any questions they have. 10/10 for this professor.

Prof. Shady is my favorite faculty at Bethel. She's super nice and always happy. You can ask her any question and she'll be more than happy to help out. Her classes weren't cake, but she was able to describe things in a way that made sense.
