There is nothing better than a professor who is passionate about his subject and his student's success. The academic world needs more Professor Shepards.
Holy Cow! Mr. Shepard is the greatest english teacher. He is just funny and can really relate with younger adults. He also loves comic books so he is kind of a big kid. The man wrote a 68 pg. Thesis Paper on Batman Comics. He is great.

Shep is absolutely wonderful. His topics are so creative, like talking about "if you had a third eye, where would it be and why" kinda stuff. A must take.

I enjoyed his class. He is very helpful. He is there when you need him. His test are right out of the book. Only had four papers to do. He makes sure you understand the work. I would recommend everyone to take him.
Shep is an AWESOME teacher!!! I recomend him to everyone! He is always there to help you and makes the class fun. He enjoys his students and really relating to them. Only had 4 essays and were able to revise 2 of them! He is by far the best english teacher I have ever had.
he is a really awesome teacher! everyone should take him. he explains everything clearly and tries to help you in anyway! he lets you do extra credit, revise your essays! hes great! take him if you can! you'll enjoy him and plus hes a gator fan so it makes it better!
the only man that i know can take a dry introductory class and turn it into a mucho lebre comedy fest and be grammatically correct about it! he holds his students' interests with his amicably quirky humor and on top of it... he's probably the hottest professor here!
You may write about 4 to 5 different papers. You dont have a final exam. Well, you final exam is your last paper about compare and contrast. He is really helpful when it comes down to writing a paper.
good teacher, hard class to pass with A though.
I took SHEP, for both enc 1101 and enc 1102, the classes are fun and the test are easy, the professor expects well written essays though, but he will help you with them. He is great professor and if you get into trouble he will always be there to help. Be prepared to work your but off for an A but it is an easy B.
Shep is a great teacher. He expects his students to write good papers. If you have any trouble with any of the work he will help you anyway he can. I really enjoyed his class.He is nice,polite,and helpful. You are very lucky if you get to take his class.
All around great teacher. He's a cool guy. Work seems to be easy so far.
Shep is a great professor, very helpful and he is envolved with his students. I would take Shep for all my courses if I could! One couldn't ask for anything more from a class. I really learned a great deal in this class and now writing papers is like second nature! Thanks Shep!!
Shep is a phenomenal teacher. He explains everything in great depth so that everyone understands. You write about 4 or 5 essays and you take a few tests-a LOT of writing! But his grading is fair and he's always willing to work with you. He encourages people to get help from him ALL the time! He is very funny & makes class a BLAST! Take the class!
This is one great professor. He really cares about his students education. He is easygoing and tries not to bore anyone. He also lets the class communicate on some quizzes. I think he is great.
I took Shep for both ENC 1101 and 1102. He's an amazing professor, and I never knew I could write so well until I took his class. He's also funny and is willing to help students with their papers as much as he can. I wish he taught more classes. I recommand him to everyone. Take Shep if you can.
He is sooooooo dreamy!!!!! "Other men said they have seen angels, But I have seen thee And thou art enough."
"The robot is a love slave to the toaster."----enough said
Great Teacher! 4 papers, midterm, and a few grammar quizzes for the whole semester. i wish every teacher was like shep. very clear and helpful. wants you to do well!! i took him for 1101 and 1102 and i wish he taught more classes!! i got an A in both! i would recommend him to anyone!
shep is a great teacher he is clear about what he wants and always offers to help.
Shep is a cool teacher do you papers and read those papers and your good homie. trust me
By far the most AMAZING teacher I have ever had. Not only does he help his students with his class, he will help you with others. He cares about his students and how well they understand the material. Do the assignments he assigns and your good. You will not be disappointed with him!
Shep is a diamond in the rough for teachers. His teaching style, easy going personality, and great sense of humor make his class a blast! He really knows his stuff and you WILL learn alot like grammar and writing papers. It's the most useful class I've had. He wants you to learn, he lets you correct papers. What can I say, Shep is the best!
Shep definitly is the professor to talk for any ENC class. I had him for ENC 11o1 and am taking him for ENC1102. He is so helpful and gives more than enough time to finish papers and lets you revise every paper to boost your grade. Just remember to read the stories out of the mercury reader book for the 5-10 question quizes. they are sooooo easy.
Best teacher I've ever had. I wish everyone was as helpful as he was. Made up random sentences that will not only make you laugh but wonder how he comes up with them. Remember that robots and toasters make a nice pair! :) You will defiantly learn. Best you make it to everyone of his classes that way you know whats going on and can easily pass tests
Shep is an AWESOME teacher! He is extremely helpful and has the best attitude about teaching! Freshmen should DEFINITELY take his class. & the werewolf and robot sentences are pretty funny...
BESTENGLISHTEACHEREVER!
This prof is amazing! I've always been good at English and so have found it extremely boring. This profs made me want to go to class. I did English 1 and 2
Professor Shepard is the best teacher ever!!! He keeps class exciting. He really cares about the students and is without a doubt there to help you if you need it. He has such a wonderful positive personality that it just naturally overflows into the class. This is my favorite class. He really bonds with his students. He makes class worth coming to.
He is the best! I got A's and B's on all my essays. I had never made an A on any essay I have written. But thanks to his detailed notes, I succeeded! He is so laid back and we had lots of fun in his class. I Plan on thanking him for ENC1102.
BEST ENGLiSH TEACHER!
I took Shepard for Enc 1102. I wish I had taken him for 1101 as well. He is extremely helpful and wants you to succeed. His essay are not simple but he will give you all the help needed to hammer out an A. His assigned readings are important in understanding what he wants in your papers so be sure to read them.
Shep is an awesome professor! I didn't take him for 1101 so I have another FSCJ ENC Prof to compare him to, and this class is great. Take it! you won't regret it.
Shep is a great teacher!!! I wish I had taken him for 1101!
One of my favorite teacher by far!
He's an amazing teacher and really helps you through all the papers. Take him for your English classes!
He is by far the best english teacher I've ever had!
Shep is a great professor who doesn't waste the time of his students with busywork. He honestly cares about his students too! Highly recommended!
Awesome!! He is very helpful and lets you write papers on things that interest YOU!! He allows you to turn in your papers, he reviews them, then gives them back to you for corrections if you want. Just like a real editing process. Learned a lot and had fun and he isnt bad on the eyes either!
Prof. Shep (Sheppard) is the GREATEST. Makes learning fun, quick feedback,keeps Blackboard updated,avail to help with writing for other classes, lectures are more like conversations, cares about his students, are just a few things that make him the best. I hope my son gets him when he takes the subject
Best professor I have EVER had by far. Do yourself a favor and take his class. You will find yourself well versed in composition as well as philosophy.
By far the best Professor I've ever had! I always look forward to going class because he keeps it interesting. Easy A. He's always there to help you with other classes and always responds immediately. Up to 5 absences and 2 tardies available as well. You will NOT regret signing up for his class. Hope to take more of his courses in the future!
Expect to learn and enjoy his class. Easy textbook quiz weekly, if you read the chapter assigned. Four papers with revisions allowed. Final study guide has you prepared for an "A".
Shep is the best professor that you could ever ask for, He's always willing to provide extra help if needed. He has a fabulous outgoing personality, and a funny sense of humor,He makes his class a great place to learn and you'll enjoy doing so. He has great timing in posting messages on the board and quick at grading papers.Excellent professor!
I couldn't ask for a better 1102 teacher.He had very interesting topics and is super hot!
Super awesome prof. He is so helpful and really is interested in helping students. He even helped me with editing papers for Applied Ethics. Hes a very genuine and kind person. His classes are fun and exciting conversation; he will do anything to help you succeed. If you can take him, do it!
This professor was awesome. I would definitely recommend taking Professor Shepard. He is very laid back. Tests are multiple choice so if you study hard you can easily get a good grade. I took his ENC 1102 class and got an A. Take him you won't regret it.
He was a great professor. Quiz every class (5-10 questions) on the assigned readings. four essays total, including one in class essay. All of which you get the chance to revise and turn back in for a better grade. Attendance is mandatory, but you'll like going. Overall GREAT teacher!
Shep is simply the best! He's a sweet person and very cool and laid back professor. I took him for both of my English classes, just pay attention and do your assignments and he will help you as much as needed. You will enjoy his class. I promise!
Great Professor! Has 4 papers about 6 quizes and a final exam. Explains everything in great detail and is always avaibile for his students. He will even help you with other class papers.
MUST TAKE! I do not know where to begin, he is truly an amazing professor. He is extremely funny, and he can talk on any subject. Very intelligent man. If you take him you will not be disappointed!
AMAZING! Very laid back, knowledgeable professor. Wants to help those who want to learn. Do the work. Ask for help when you need it. He grades fairly, lots of feedback! Easy quiz on every reading. Four papers, he prepares you for them well. Revise up to 3 for better grade (up to a full letter higher!) Themed writing class on very interesting topic!
If you fear writing like I did you must take Dr Shep's class. I couldn't ask for a better professor. He enjoys what he does and he is very helpful.
Professor Shep is amazing! Makes class enjoyable and is very laid back. He gives a short quiz on the readings from the night before, so make sure you do the reading. There are four easy essays assigned. Overall, I highly recommend him.
I would definitely take Professor Shepard again! He is a WONDERFUL professor, very funny and laid back. He is very helpful and is there for you when you need it, very easy to talk to. He is my favorite professor and I am taking him for 1102.
Shep is a great professor! I highly recommend him for this course. The papers aren't too long and he's always there to help. He's really funny !
Best professor I've ever had! Ole Shep was a down to earth guy that was truly there for his students and he made his class very interesting. Shep is a laid-back dude and you got to choose your topics for your papers. I would recommend him to anyone taking an english class.
Shep is a really cool teacher! He's there to work with you and help you improve yourself. His class is great !
He's been my favorite college professor. He makes all his work very clear, and before any major assignment he goes over what is expected and will help however he can to make sure everyone gets it. Very funny. I would take him again.
Amazing teacher. Has a genuine interest in your success in his class. Wants you to do well but he won't just hand over an A or B. Quizzes are often but they are simple so no need to stress. Would definitely take again.
Professor Shepard is an amazing teacher! If you have areas you are struggling with he will help you the best he can in and I believe outside of class. I took him for ENC1101, and I am registered to take his 1102 class in the fall as well. For 1101 you have to write a few papers, quizzes over weekly reading, and a couple tests. highly recommend.
Professor Shepard really cares about his students and will help you in any way he can. I took him for ENC1101 and ENC1102 and I couldn't have asked for a better teacher
Amazing. Shep is a great guy who is not only highly intelligent, but has a great sense of humor and is wonderful to be around. With class, attendance is mandatory, a quiz is typically given the class after a reading has been assigned, and he assigns four papers during the semester. He gives thorough feedback, critiques, and helps however possible.
This teacher is one of the best I've ever had, his sense of humor and ways to engage the class was never dull, his grading was fair and he was always there to help you if you needed it. Very great teacher, and i plan on taking more classes with him.
Prof. Shep is the most laid-back, understanding, helpful professor you can have. I think everyone enjoyed his class.
Shep is an amazing professor! He'll help his students anytime in and out of class and his lectures are incredible and hilarious. There are 4 papers in the class (2-4 pages long) and one short paper on the final. All quizes and the final are multiple choice.
I took Shep for both 1101 and 1102. I suggest taking both classes with him, but his 1102 class was my favorite. Highly interesting material and his charisma and personality draw you into lectures. He cares about his students success and will try to help as much as possible. I can't say enough wonderful things about this professor. TAKE HIS CLASSES!
Amazing Professor. Would definitely take this professor again
I have taken all the classes Shep does and I literally could not ask for a better professor. He really really cares about his students and does his best to help you on any assignment you have. He is hilarious and makes class interesting and he is SUPER approachable and relatable (he's a huge nerd). I wish he was my professor for all of my classes!
Shep's a great teacher. He does give quizzes from the book at the beginning of almost every class so make sure you read the material. He gives a total of 5-6 essay papers throughout the term but he let's you fix any mistakes you make on them. He's a fun teacher and tells funny stories and do not get him started on any comic books. LOL
Professor Shepard was an amazing teacher. Before college, I always avoided essays and writing; it wasn't my forte. However, he was always very clear and eager to help. I was recommended to take his class by my sister, but after taking it I would run into people who would always recommend Prof. Shepard - even students from different campuses!
Professor Shepard gives great feedback and guidance. He was quick to respond to all my emails and posts. I wanted a good teacher for my first online class, so I used this site to choose - and VERY glad I did. I didn't really like writing before, but Shep's encouragement drove me to learn, succeed, and actually enjoy the assignments. Take his class!
Shep is honestly one of my favorite professors I have ever had! I never really struggled and he wants you to succeed so don't be afraid to ask for help.
Shep is an absolutely amazing professor. He takes boring course material and makes it interesting to learn. He also engages the class during lectures and gives great feedback on papers. If you have a chance to take his class, DO IT!
I loved Shep's class! He really has a way of making boring content fun. His lectures are inspiring and funny. I'll definitely be taking him for ENC1102.
Take HIS CLASS DO IT ENC1101 ENC1102
Professor Shep is a fun easy guy. He is very respected and will help you on any homework, he will also just sit and talk with you if you need to relax. He is an amazing guy.
Turned what I thought would be a Writing grind into an enjoyable experience. His enthusiasm for teaching shines through, and made a class I was dreading into a my favorite class of the semester. If you have the chance, you won't regret having Shep as your professor.
This is actually the first class I signed up for and I don't regret it at all. I'm honestly still taking the class but I couldn't help but give a good review with how helpful Dr. Shepard has been. This class overall has made me remember just how creative you can be with writing. I have one other teacher that I won't name that seems the opposite.
Hes really a great professor. He made class such a fun environment. I would easily recommend him. He is the type of professor that helps you pass not watches you fail. Its a very interactive class. You have maybe 5 essays overall but he helps you with all of them. You have to read and take a small quiz almost every class.
Amazing professor. Funny and works hard on critiquing papers.
So glad I took him for ENC1101. He is extremely helpful and quick to respond to emails and questions. He gives you really good feedback on every paper he grades. Module Quizzes every week which are easy and of course essays which I never made less than a B+ on one. He's a really understanding professor. Take him if you need the credit!
you read a few pages and take a quiz, always an easy a. there a lot of writing but its an English class so thats normal. Hes really funny and when you write a paper he gives a lot of feedback given
Hardly any homework I took him for ENC 1101 and he was by far one of my favorite teachers. Sadly I didnt get to take him for ENC 2 because the class was full. Lectures everyday you attend class and I only remember writing 4 essays I believe... if you have trouble with anything he will help you!!
Best English Professor ever! This class had to be moved online due to COVID-19 and he adjusted wonderfully! He made the work very clear and did not overwork us. Lectures were entertaining and made me want to go to class. I only had to write 4 papers and they were on topics that I found exciting (movies, tv shows, and commercials.)
He's the best teacher for Enc 1101 and Enc 1102! Love Shep, he's really caring. He's a comics geek but he makes it totally fine. Legit my favorite professor ever!
He made this class very interesting to say the least. He is an amazing teacher even through COVID we transitioned nicely to online and checked in with us frequently. He is definitely worth the take and you will learn so much.
English is not my best subject but Professor Shep is amazing. Very engaged with his students and gives great feedback on essays. He is always there to help and responds to emails in a timely manner. There are a few quizzes and 6 essays I think but nothing overwhelming. Take his class, you will not regret it.
Professor Shepard was AMAZING. There is a total of 6 papers and 8 quizzes. In the beginning, it feels like a lot but it gets easier! You are able to send the first page of your paper to him and he will revise it for you. He genuinely cares and adds a lot of helpful corrections to your paper. He responds quickly and he is always so pleasant! 10/10!!
Great Professor! Always willing to help, offers optional weekly meetings. Took his class online all assignments are due sunday's typically, the book is used weekly and no more than two assignments due a week. 4 essays including a final essay! Definitely recommend.
I took Shep's ENC1101 class and he was by far the best professor I have ever had. His classes were inspirational. I learned so much in his class that has helped me with my other classes. He was pretty lenient on those that missed some days. I can't say enough good things about him.
Professor Shep is real cool. His class is very interesting and fun. It is not an easy A though. It is alot of reading, which is to be expected in an English class . Papers are not long, but he is tough on grammar. I would definitely recommend him.
Professor Shep is one of my favorite teachers I've ever had. His ENC1102 was interesting and his classes were fun. Class attendance wasn't mandatory, but very helpful. He's a very fair grader and gives good feedback on papers. There were two opportunities to revise papers if needed. He is an awesome teacher and I highly recommend his class.
Professor Shep has a special place in my heart. He is compassionate and caring about his students and work. He always gave such detailed, quality feedback. He is my favorite professor. He makes learning fun and overall will help you improve your writing through his criticism. I am taking him for ENC1102. I appreciate his passion for his work.
Dr. Shepard is very outgoing and very passionate. He gives good feedback on essays. He gives you 2 extra credit opportunities to revise 2 paper, do them. Lectures aren't mandatory, but they are worth attending. You learn a lot from the lectures. He assigns 4 papers, all based on pop culture. And yes, Dr. Shepard is into pop culture.
Hands down the greatest professor I have ever had. He very clearly cared about the students are genuinely wanted to help in any way he could. He responded very quickly, made everything as clear as possible, and was generally an awesome guy. He also did a lot to help me in advancing my writing skills. 10/10
The best English professor. You will not regret taking his class!
I took Shep for ENC1101 and 1102 and he was amazing both times! He genuinely cares about his students work and will help you. Theres only 4 papers and 2 weekly quizzes. He also is makes lecture engaging and interesting. I loved both courses I took with him!
He was my first professor in college. I was very nervous to start but he was amazing with making first time students feel comfortable. He is a tough grader but gives good feedback. lectures aren't mandatory but are WORTH attending. He has a true passion for what he does. HIGHLY recommend this professor.
Great professor. Easy to talk with and gives lots of feedback on papers. Never felt stressed in his class
Shep is an incredible teacher, he is very transparent with everything that was expected throughout the entire semester. He is very caring and will answer any questions you have in class or via e-mail. I can not wait to take him again in the fall for 1102
Shep is an amazing professor! He is extremely patient and understanding and will often stay late for his students. I would recommend him to anybody! The classwork can be a little overwhelming if you are taking his 7-week courses if you are working as well. A good amount of homework is essays, but the topics are interesting and flexible
Herschel Shepard was probably the best professor I had in the 5 years that I attended FSCJ.
He made class entertaining and exciting. He thoroughly explained weekly expectations and detailed assignments. All around 10/10 professor!
By far the best teacher I have ever had! Shep cares about his students and makes class entertaining.
Professor Shepard is by far the most wonderful teacher I've had in my whole life. He made every single class and assignment engaging by incorporating creativity into them. Each individual student feels valued and welcome in his classes. He's also hilarious and extremely personable. If you have a chance to take a class with Shep, take it.
Professor Shep is a gem - makes class engaging and really cares about students. The workload is manageable if you stay on top of it. Unstuck ai was a game-changer for essay prep.
