Mathematica sucks, Shea won't answer questions.

He Sucks. Can't teach and his lectures are just babling. He can't answer any questions about anything.

He is very intimidating, and mumbles so that no one can understand what he is saying. He really doesn't like to help, but if you ask at the right time, he will give only small hints. At all costs, do not take his class!!!!!!!!!

he SUCKS! he treats people like they are dumb-stay away-far away!

This guy absolutely sucks. He talks to much on stuff that doesn't have any relevance and he does not answer questions or explain himself. Needs to quit his day job!

Terrible at lecturing...I payed attention 15% of the time. Doesn't know what he's talking about so he doesn't make sense or answer questions.

wow, this man is extremely bitter towards the world. he is not helpful and is REALLY boring. He likes to think that he knows what he is talking about. He simply frustrates me and I cannot wait to get out of his class! Take someone else if you can!

I HATE THIS CLASS!

This man is the worst teacher ive ever had , if i could id rather kill myself than sit through his class. He has no expression in his voice and its like he is pissed off at the world when he talks, AVOID HIM AND THIS CLASS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE< trust m

this class sucks, its soo boring dont take him he wont ever help you

Harry Shea is sooooo boring!! Knows his stuff but can't teach very well. Teaches too fast. Don't have to go to class but probably should. Test are hard. Don't take this class!!

Awful! Do not take 111 unless you have to! Hard tests about stuff that is so boring you fall asleep listening to. He is never wrong, even when very clear that he make a mistake. Stay far far away from Harry Shea unless you want to fail.

boring

This man has no respect for students. He's so picky on papers too, if he asks you to do somehting and you do it but not how he wants you to its automatically wrong even if the outcome was the same. He mumbles. Stumbles over his words and seems unconfident. I think he needs to get his butt off the computer and out into the real world.

Very boring. Not helpful at all. Tests were difficult even though I studied. He counted off whole answers on the homework, even when the smallest thing was done wrong. Try to avoid having him.

Shea has no idea what he is talking about and he never says anything that will be on the tests. He is an extremely picky grader and gives study guides that have no relevance. Just avoid him at all costs.

He ruined my college 4.0. Don't take him. He doesn't explain anything, so you will be teaching yourself about computers.

Not helpful at all. Horrible. Doesn't explain anything. The tests have nothing to do with what he gives you to study. Only good thing about him is that everytime he talks he reminds me of Kip from Napoleon Dynamite and I start singing "I love technology" to myself.

this is a gen ed class, not a major class at all. oh but he somehow finds a way to make this the hardest possible class in the world... he refuses to help you, he doesnt know what hes talking about... i have all a's and 1 d. dont take him. ive talked to so many ppl taking this class w someone else and they love it. DONT TAKE HIM!

I HATED this class...

I HATED THIS CLASS! NOT ONLY WAS IT AT 8AM. I THOUGHT THIS CLASS WAS GOING TO HELP MY GPA I MEAN HOW HARD COULD IT BE RIGHT? WELL HE PUTS CRAP UP ON THE POWERPOINT AND NEVER EXPLAINS IT! DONT TAKE HIM OR YOUR GPA WILL SUFFER FOR SURE!

He made no sense through the entire course!

BAD TEACHER!!! AVOID HIM IF YOU CAN!! I seriously was bored every lecture..it's hard to stay awake..and you can't ever understand what he's talking about because he mumbles. Take CIS because I heard that was a lot easier

Very unhelpful, stuck on himself, too good to say good morning prick, he could care less if you understand what he is talking about or not

This man makes my skin crawl. If you are in his class, he will get all his instructions wrong, mumble and say UMMM a lot during lectures and then act condencending when you ask for clarifications. Very bad teacher.

Horrible class and an even worse teacher. He actually gave out incorrect instructions and marked me wrong when I followed them. He's bitter and nasty and rude. He mumbles half the time and the other half, he's simply wrong about what he's telling you. I didn't realize you could get paid to do something so very badly.

One of the worst teachers ever. read the book and its ok, but he never explains anything about excel well and you are forced to teach yourself. But otherwise its ok, just read the book!!! he is incredibly boring, and homework is required to be turned in on time- spelling and grammer counts. Find another teacher!

He is so ridiculously boring and the class is so pointless! He isn't helpful and his lectures are such a waste of time. Don't take this class if you have the option and definitely don't take it with him!

Bad teacher has favorites and if you are not a favorite he will take random points of assignments

The class is extremely boring. He makes the subject a lot harder than it should be. He gives a lot of homework and takes off points for the most ridiculous mistakes. He's also one of those teachers than when you ask a question, he says "well what do you think?" If you have him as a teacher, I highly recommend you get out of his class.

AVOID THIS CLASS!!! Most of his students understand computers better than him, and at one point in the class he informed us that if we had a question he probably wouldn't answer it. The one program that I wanted to learn how to use, Mathematica, he avoided the main use of the program, solving Calculus problems, instead teaching us meaningless uzes.

Gets upset when students have questions. Does not explain anything necessary for homework.

Mr. Shea wasn't at all helpful! He would lecture for 45 minutes on useles stuff and then give a massive homework assignment! Don't bother asking questions either. He also nit-picks at the homework and gives assignments that you are designed to fail! so unless you already know everything about computers, don't take Mr. Shea

Absolutely awful. He was very condescending in class and assigns homework that is impossible due to his ridiculous requirements. He turned what should have been a fun, relatively into class into the worst class I've ever experienced.

Terribly confusing, especially whenever you asked for help, he would make you feel unintelligible and small. Harry Shea needs to update his information and have an open mind.

Shea is nice enough, but his lectures are extremely boring and confusing. The class grade is mostly homework, so if you do take it do it all, get it in on time, and do it right. He nitpicks a LOT of things, and it's extremely difficult to get 100% on anything. If you ask a question he just confuses you more. Definitely pick a different professor.

Do everything you can to avoid Shea. He is so picky about EVERYTHING. You will never get a 100% on anything. If you ask a question he will have something rude to say and will just make you even more confused.

This class started off very hard and then got easier. He teaches the material backwards (hardest stuff first) so you will freak out in the beginning but it gets better. He is a nice man but he is pretty strict and also can be confusing in his teaching. I think he means well but just isn't the best teacher. I would take someone else if possible.

This guy is a joke honestly. While I think he means well, he's an awful teacher. He has to backtrack his words constantly as if he doesn't know the material himself that he's teaching. He completely humiliated me in front of the whole class by yelling at me when I was actually correct about his mistake on the grading of my paper. AVOID AT ALL COST!

-Goes through notes super fast -Horrible at explaining things -Does not assign much homework, so it's hard to get any practice -Never answers emails -Rude to students -Disrespectful

He has a terrible way of explaining things. Often times he would write the problem down wrong on examples and also on exams.

Not good at explaining. Very little homework for practice (10 assignments all semester). Reads off powerpoint slides all class. Often does not know the answer to a question and will end up avoiding it. Can't see your grade until 3 weeks before the final exam. AVOID!

Shea is an awful teacher. He is unclear when presenting the material and he does not seem to know anything about math. I would never take him again. Three tests are 60% of your grade and the final is 25%

He's a nice guy but he doesn't know what he is talking about. Lectures were boring and he didn't know what he was talking about. Tests were hard but he doesn't grade hard. Read straight off he PowerPoint from Pearson and flies through the slides. Does not give a lot of homework. Very confusing during lectures and explanations aren't very clear.

Wow. Worst teacher ever. I had to drop the class mid-semester. He was awful, not clear at all. He spends the first 10 minutes of every class telling awful jokes, then the next 5 trying to explain them because no one laughs. Unless you hate yourself, dont take him.

The professor was unclear, did not have blackboard working until a week before the end of class, was unprepared and did not look over his own notes (there were numerous typos, even on the study guide and test). He chooses the most complex way to describe things, making simple concepts unnecessarily difficult.

Never have i ever had a hard time at math but with this man... He confuses himself constantly and rambles. If you take the class then start to have doubts, DROP IT! He's also rather mean and grumpy. Get ready to go to the Bear Claw

Mr. Shea was the worst math teacher I have ever had. I did not pass this class, even though I did all the work and constantly went to his office hours. He confuses himself when he teaches and he gets a lot of answers wrong when doing examples. I'm currently retaking this class with another professor and it is 10x easier. DO NOT TAKE MATH WITH SHEA!

He gets lost in his own notes. It's very boring , very hard to stay awake (I have it at 8 am)

Okay, coming from someone who actually knows how to do math, DO NOT take Mr. Shea. I never pay attention to him in class because he's so scatter brained and teaches math off a powerpoint with no clear examples. I just teach myself out of the book. He really belittles students and doesn't understand why peopled don't get it. NOT WORTH IT DONT TAKE

Harry Shea is the worst professor EVER! He doesn't know how to use a computer, strict with grading when he has had several "answers" on the study guide & tests key that were wrong. He doesn't lecture, he just goes through a slide show too quickly to read it. The homework, quizzes, study guides, and tests are not in the same chapter, never prepared.

Was very unclear in class. He spent most of the class trying to make jokes and constantly made mistakes while doing examples. His lectures were very hard to follow.

Terrible when it comes to explaining things to people who are not already on his cognitive level. It got to the point of being so useless going to class that i stopped going to class, and taught myself college algebra. On top of that he is one of the most unorganized professors i have had.

If you are already bad at math and you have a class with Shea, unless you love getting bad grades and no help, FIND ANOTHER TEACHER. Not once have I seen a teacher who confuses himself more than him. Not only that but if you ask him a question about a problem, he will most likely just confuse you more. In all, I strongly suggest avoiding this class

I had already taken the class in high school but didn't receive college credit. Biggest mistake of my life! Ended up with a D. The day before our final exam he forgot to show up to the review session. He will do a problem on the board then realize he did it wrong. This happened multiple times. Half the class dropped. FIND A DIFFERENT PROFESSOR!!!!

Scatterbrained, unprepared, and mumble-jumbled. Constantly the power-points were wrong, or different from that given for student use. He is a nice guy, tries to be funny, but sucks at delivery. Will and has taken students cell phones, has asked people to leave for talking, banged on the desk and yelled. Homework online, and different form lecture.

Worst professor I have ever had. He gets lost in his own notes and forgets what he is teaching. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR.

Don't take this class. This is hands down the worst teacher Ive ever had. He doesn't post grades to blackboard instead he makes a excel spreadsheet which has everyone elses grades on them too. If you want to see your grades any other time you have to beg on your hands and knees. I emailed 12 times and even visited his office during his hours.

Hardest math grader I've ever had. On my last test I got the answer right showed my work, but he said he said my work was too scattered. I didn't get any points for that whole problem. If your work isn't perfect you will receive no credit. He can't teach either.

Disorganized, Doesnt know the material he is teaching, hardest grader Ive ever had, NEVER TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!

Warning to anyone taking his class... DON'T DO IT! He is so frazzled and scatter brained. His teaching style is wack. He will take off points on homework and tests for not spelling a word correctly... we are in math class not english. He doesn't even show up for his own scheduled study sessions. Oh, and don't expect to easily view your grade.

Im good at math and he made it more confusing than it was. Takes him 40min to do 2 problems.....

Awful. I ended up having to drop the class on the last day. Save yourself and do not take him. He doesnt know how to teach at all and makes zero sense. In one lecture he mad 12 mistakes that students had to correct him on. Yes, I counted. Im astonished at how he is even a professor on this campus.

The worst math teacher I have ever had. Luckily I had the book, so I could go back and teach myself again that he never taught in class. His lectures are solely off of a powerpoint, and doesn't explain any problems. Tries to be funny, but just uncomfortable and awkward.

He is a very poor teacher and does not take the time to actually teach the material. Also raises his voice a lot and makes it hard for students to ask questions.

Overall worst teacher I have ever had. He is a nightmare. Makes you feel dumb for asking questions and it the pickiest grader ever. No bonus thought the entire class. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND HIM.

I have never struggled in math and this was probably my hardest class this semester because of how awful his teaching was. I already took this class in high school and it still made no sense. You can't ask questions in class without him being rude. He gives you the option to call him outside of class yet he never answers. I never knew my grade. BAD

took last semester and was a very rough time. the material wasn't clear and he didn't do a very good job making it understandable.

Harry Shea is without a doubt the most difficult professor I have had the displeasure of working with. He is barely competent as a teacher and it made for a terrible class. Multiple times he would lose where he was or even flat out forget how to do a problem. There were even a few times when a STUDENT had to walk him through his own problem.

Terrible proffessor thats all i have to say
