I loved this class and this professor!!! She is engaging and very helpful if you go into office hours. The tests were multiple choice and challenging, but if you pay attention, you'll get a good grade!

Shapiro is a nice lady and really caring! She will stop and explain anything that you ever need! However, she talks like a million miles an hour and its really hard to catch what the hell she says! But still one of my favorite professors yet!@

overrated overrated overrated..

she said she didn't know the answer to sooooo many questions. i usually respect professors who know what they don't know, but this was ridiculous. also, she's overly open to student opinions. again, i usually respect professors who are open to student opinions.. but there's just some things that are blatantly wrong and professors should not be afraid to tell that to students. i can see people responding to her lecture style, but it was very slow-paced and almost like a high school class. i wouldn't say avoid her, but she's not the paragon of brilliance that the previous posters would lead you to believe
