I could not imagine taking International Tax with any other professors. Prof. Shaw explains everything so well that you do not need to memorize anything. His test is never a surprise since he will tell you exactly what topics to focus. He makes studying tax so much fun.

Comment:
I took prof. Shaw for three Tax classes, and I would say I have learned so much in his class both financial accounting and tax. He is definitely the nicest professor at Cox. He will let you know exactly what will be tested and walk you through problems in class and in the review session untill you know how to do them yourself.

Have taken him for undergrad and grad school. He is very straight forward and teaches you well. Uses financial statements to help you understand. Lots of real world experience so knows what he's talking about. Great person, too. Understanding that we have other classes. Makes it obvious what he wants you to learn out of the class and for the exams.

I love Shaw, he is hands down one of the top professors at SMU. Very approachable never makes you feel stupid, and actually knows what he's talking about. He has a lot of real world experience so he teaches you what you need to know and is relevant. He's a great professor, very intelligent and cares about the wellbeing and future of his students

Tough Class. He loves athletes and students that show interest in his class. If you dont show interest or do your work, you will suffer. Dont be looking for a cake walk, but if you work hard, he will make sure you do well

Yes you have to pay attention in class and do your homework, but if you do, you'll learn more from him than you would in any other accounting class. He makes everything relevant by relating it to the real world so that we can see the point of what we're d

Don't take this class. Shaw may know his stuff but he doesn't relay it to his students. I have learned nothing in this impossible class and now that I have him, everyone tells me that I should never have taken his class. Warning - if you want to learn acc
