Quality 4/5Difficulty 4/5
Shawnika was an amazing professor. 345 is probably my favorite class I've taken in college. She's extremely intelligent, enthusiastic and inspiring. This is a hard class and requires a lot of work, but Shawnika is always available to answer questions and give feedback. She's incredible and has really toned arms.

Shawnika has been by far one of the best professors I've had. J345 itself asks a lot of you, but Shawnika pushed our group and we got amazing results from her feedback. She grades hard and expects a lot but gives farily easy exams to keep your grade from dropping too low. Lecture usually flies by and you can tell she loves what she does.

Prof. Hull is super smart and extremely eloquent. She's a great lecturer. The first half of the course blows material-wise (it's confusing and poorly clarified), but gets way more interesting after the first midterm. Great class for those thinking about getting into research.

Well organized and very clear. But TAs do all the grading and in my experience the grading was harsh.

I loved her! She is engaging and has interesting lectures with interesting material. She did a great job. It's a difficult class but if you read and attend lecture/discussion, it's not that bad.

Shawnika is great! She keeps class interesting and it is easy to see she really cares about what she's teaching. She's young, so she talks more like a college student than a prof. Exams are all written, but she's very clear what she expects of you. The class is a lot of work, but well worth it!
