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.Rate My Professors ↗
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.Rate My Professors ↗
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.Rate My Professors ↗
Well organized and very clear. But TAs do all the grading and in my experience the grading was harsh.Rate My Professors ↗
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.Rate My Professors ↗
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!Rate My Professors ↗
