Shawna Shapiro
Professor Shapiro always tries to experiment with different ways of presenting materials and it made for an exciting learning journey. Albeit the size of the class (~30 students for my cohort) may take away some perks of having such an accommodating lecturer. Class is participation and project-heavy, so what you put in is really what you'd get. 8/10 would recommend.
Like Professor Shapiro’s other courses, this class has a relaxed atmosphere. The pace is gentle, focusing on foundational grammar concepts in English. There’s minimal homework, and most of the learning happens through in-class conversations and open discussion.
Overall, a great experience taking this course. Professor Shapiro is one of the most driven professors in relation to enthusiasm about what they teach. The writings and requirements are all very clear and the grading is fair but not easy
