Very easy teacher. I wish he was a little more strict since I felt that a lot of students were disrespectful by always showing up very late. Maybe it all showed in the exams, since all three were about the videos and stuff he talked about in class. So maybe those people that were always absent and late failed. Just go to class, its fun!

Wonderful professor. Book not needed, just show up everyday. Lectures are mostly online videos and then he will talk and write on the board. TAKE GOOD NOTES on what he SAYS, not just what he writes, and you will pass. No homework, only 3 exams (graded on curve). Verbal study guide before exams is exactly what is on tests, so no excuse to fail.

He's one of my top favorite professors! I enjoyed listening to his lecture. He plays videos in class so make sure to pay attention, because you will get tested on stuff that happens in the videos. Attendance is mandatory, he'll take off points for each day you aren't there. Tests are easy if you pay attention in class. Make sure to take good notes

He is a very sweet, caring professor. Incredibly smart as well! There are 3 exams total, everything you need to know is what he talks about and what the videos talk about. Make sure to pay attention and take notes. His exams are super easy if you study your notes. It was a pleasure taking this course with him! You wont regret taking him!

He is a very nice teacher! Just go to class, pay attention and write down notes and you will pass the three tests. The notes you take in class are your review for the exams.

No homework and no textbook required. He takes attendance for a grade you're only allowed to miss twice. Very easy professor just pay attention to videos. All he really does is play videos it's pretty awesome. Very easy fun class, I would definitely recommend Shepard. Only 4 grades all semester and he drops the lowest, 3 test and 1 attendance.

This man is really intelligent and he makes class fun. Super easy to understand the material. He prefers showing videos and lecturing rather than using the textbooks. Just write down whatever he writes on the board and you'll get an A on the exams. I highly recommend taking his class to everyone. The only way to fail would be to never show up.
