Comment:

Teri is straight up delusional. I can't believe I had to pay for this pointless class. She almost always finished class early & all we did was watch videos. She has no idea how to use the computer. She also throw cough drop bags into the lecture pit. She yells at you if you cough and will call you out if you speak to your neighbor & make a scene.

Comment:

Teri is a great professor for this course, she makes it easy for students to understand the material, and will always let you know what will be on the exam, and will even tell you exam questions. Textbook is necessary, make sure to read everything she tells you to because it will be on the exam. Easy A if you study a little, love her!

Comment:

She is by far the best professor that I have ever had at UW Oshkosh. She cares so much and out of a class of over 200 in Bio 233, she got to know me personally in lab, and always made sure that I knew that I was doing a good job. I ended up taking Bio 315 and loved it even more. She is so passionate about Microbiology and her field of study! 10/10

Comment:

Shors is a great professor and lab instructor. Sometimes going to lecture was a waste of time, especially towards the end of the semester. Lectures would be 8-10 minutes long so if you just look at the mini reviews she posts on D2L, don't worry about going to class. Tests are easy but make sure you read the case studies and boxes in each chapter.

Comment:

A great professor. She is engaging, knowledgeable and funny. Yes she quirky, but spend 5-10 minutes after a class chatting with her and you quickly understand her passion for he subject area. It was a real treat to have the 200 level class taught by the same prof that teaches the 400 level class. Had her twice, enjoyed and informed both times.

Comment:

Teri is a funny lady. She is very out there and weird but you will grow to love her. Lectures are never the full hour. She will tell you exactly what to expect on the test. Very video heavy class, which I personally didn't love. A lot of opportunities for extra credit. Study at least a couple days before tests and you will do well. Easy final.

Comment:

We watched the same 30-min video twice (barely related to virology). I don't think she ever realized. If you want to spend your tuition $ on that, go right ahead! Take 315 if you want an easy class; do not take 315 if you want an understanding of virology beyond random factoids or a professor who understands the basics of her field.

Comment:

Professor Shors was very quirky. Don't get me wrong, she was very funny, but sometimes she was hard to follow. Sometimes she said she wouldn't test on a certain topic, but we found related questions on the exam. Her lectures were very repetitive. Lab was kind of a mess, but it was very fun!

Comment:

T. Shors is an interesting professor to say the least. The exams and assignments are easy themselves, but the class is made artificially harder by requiring a 96% for an A. She did curve our class, however. She is probably the funniest lecturer I've ever had when she's not showing videos (she does this often). She does tell you what is on exams.

Comment:

Professor Shors is a good Professor but might not care about this class so much because she knows its a pre-req. Every Friday we basically watch videos and we always get let out early. Tests are based on what she says in lecture so go. Also print out lectures on D2L as she goes through it fast and just highlight whats important. Easy A class.

Comment:

At first I thought she was laid back and hilarious but she is more delusional than purposefully funny. We watch videos half of the lectures and are expected to know every detail for the exams. She has in the past put trick questions on Lab quizzes and exams and seems more unorganized than the students. Hard to study for, terrible lab professor.

T Shors is a good professor but the class is incredibly easy and she doesn't always use lecture time well. But, she will tell you exactly what is on the test so go to lecture.

Comment:

This is an easy A class if you want it to be. She tells you everything that is going to be on the exams. So GO TO LECTURE! yes she will go on tangents and watch stupid videos, but some of them will be on the exams. Lab can be pretty easy. She will unnecessarily interrupt class. She usually podcasts but honestly it is better to go to class.

Comment:

The class is a very simple class. If you print out the power point slides you can easily highlight the important parts that she tells you to know. She goes through the information very FAST, so be ready to skip a lot of information. Tests are straightforward and lab is easy. She goes on a lot of tangents and doesn't know how to use technology.

Comment:

Dr. Shors was a wonderful professor. She does go on tangents once in a while, but she's quite funny. She made it easy to get up for 8am lectures. I had a lot of fun in this class and was very interested in this topic too. I recommend printing out the slides because she does go through them fast, and she gives you all the info you need.

T. Shors is hilarious. As a teacher she is very unorthodox, but her methods of teaching are great. Her exams are pretty straight forward and easy (if you study a bit). Lab with her is also very easy!

She preaches about being on time for lecture and lab, when she's late herself. Gives lame excuses too. Wastes time going on tangents and irreverent videos. Don't know why she's even a professor when she doesn't know what she's doing or how to operate technology.

Comment:

lol ok, so yeah her class is super easy. I fair and square earned a B+/A- in her class last semester. However she gave me a B- as my overall grade because I was "In the lower 25% of the class". So even though you may think that you're getting a good grade in her class, she'll round you down without telling you at the end of semester.

Dr. Shors is a great professor to take if you want an easy A! Her exams are very easy and she tells you what you need to know for them. Lectures typically do not last the full hour, she wastes a lot of time talking and showing funny videos. Her lectures are podcasted & attendance is not required.

Comment:

I would never take Shors again. She can be funny but she is not a good professor. She wastes TONS of class time. She will put a 50 something paged note packets for you to print off for lecture notes but will skip over half of them (EVERY TIME). She is rude, likes to accuse people of cheating on exams. Her grading is super inconsistent in lab.
