LNGT0107 with Shawna Shapiro2 months ago

This course felt fast paced with a lot of content, but not in an overwhelming way. It consisted of: lectures, textbook readings, two short quizzes (one take-home), "micro-teaching" presentations (in-class to small groups), a community engagement project, a classroom observation (in person or virtual), and a few short papers. This was a very helpful introduction to teaching English in terms of classroom specifics, cultural dynamics, and opportunities to practice and reflect on our own teaching. Shawna is a fantastic teacher who cares about her students and their experience in class, and I would absolutely recommend her as a professor.

Professor Shapiro is such an amazing and passionate teacher, she puts all her energy into this course. The course is very interesting with concepts that connect to everyday activities. The class never felt heavy, but you do have to put in the work to get a good grade, but Shapiro is always there to help you out.

This course was incredibly easy. I did not attend class for maybe 50% of the semester and completed maybe 1/4 of the readings and was still able to obtain an A. Conceptually, there's always a way to relate a later topic to one of the early readings, it's almost purely dependent on how well you argue your point. Per Urlaub is also a really great professor, he assigns VERY little work (outside of readings) and he's very accommodating to his students' needs. He's definitely one of those teachers that wants his students to learn his course's material free of stress.
