AMAZING TEACHER! His big thing is attitude. Almost every answer has something to do with attitude. He will go out of his way to help anyone he is amazing. He understands that life situations happen and is willing to work with you. He is the most helpful professor I have ever had. Barely, if any, homework and tests are very straight forward.
Very easy class and lots of important information! I wish I had taken this class when I first started college! A must take for new students!
Dr. Shippy is a great person. However, his class is sooo boring! I had this class for three hours and i hated coming. He is big on participation but it is not mandatory. Long story short, just show up and you pass. There is very little work just a lot of talking.
Easy and effortless!
You only do one group project with a partner for the year. His lectures are super boring but he is a great professor! Highly recommend!
Dr. Shippy is a very caring professor that love his students, his class is not difficult just attend class and listen one project, 2 major assignments and 2 exams. He always give reviews before each exam and the reviews help a lot he is a fair grader you won't regret taking him he is one of the best professors in HCC.
Nice professor, cares about his students. The work is easy and it is an education class shouldn't be hard to begin with but Dr. Shippy makes it fun and interesting.
bruh this class is more worthless than a rock. Just alot of talking and participation. i dont know why HCC made this class a mandatory class...
Great professor. He is excellent at what he does and you can tell he loves his job. His lectures are fascinating because he uses relevant examples, his own experience as well as ample class participation. Very easy class, just do what he tells you and you'll make an A. He sometimes even gives answers to assignments in class
great professor. very easy and very understanding. I highly recommend him. you guys will love him . very easy
Dr. Shippy is an amazing teacher who finds happiness in students doing well. He has good classes, and interesting tests.
Dr. Shippy is a really good professor. very caring and funny. Easy A.
Dr. Shippy is a great professor. Easy A. He always talks about personal life incidents and repeats it about 4 times in a semester. Its pretty funny. Theirs lots of talking and presentations.
Easiest class!
Dr. Skippy really cares about the students. He give all he have to be sure we have the opportunity to be successful in his class. He makes you laugh, he makes you think, and he helps you to realize you can conquer anything you set out to do. But you must study and organize your time. And let know distractions get in your way. Stay focused . Thanks
Dr. Shippy was amazing. Everything was laid out so there shouldnt be much reason for failure or lack of time for assignments.
You can tell he wants all his students to succeed, not only in class but in life.
Two open-book exam(choice and T/F),two group presentation,a career essay,a assignment and a three questions quizze every week,esay A.
The best! The best!! The best!!! Just take him and believe me, this is the easiest A.
Amazing professor! I was dreading this class but he made it worthwhile. He definitely inspires you to do your best in college. 2 group presentations that require your attendance throughout the semester. Even though the weekly assignments are on launchpad, you still need to show up. Mid-term and Exam are open-book which make it easier. Great class!
Class wise: There are 2-4 assignments every week online. There is a 6/7 paragraph essay. 2 partner powerpoints which really depends on who you are assigned to work with. Pretty easy tho. Honestly, if you just TURN IN your work you'll at least get a B. Prof wise: He has one of the best personalities and he wants you to pass! He'll advise you well!
Best Prof. Do your assignments and submit on time. He is really the best.
Dr. james shippy is nice. the one thing i didn't like about his class that the presentations. If you do all your work you will pass with a easy A.
Professor Shippy is by far one of the best instructors. His work load consists of 10 minute online work assignments( use your book for straightforward answers), one midterm exam, two group projects with a total presentation time of 15 minutes, and one final exam. He is very caring, responds quickly to emails, grades with quickness. Super easy class
Simply amazing and outstanding! Amazing character he is
An amazing professor. Wish he was my proff for each of my courses
Hes a really nice person & always makes sure to help his students the most he can!!!!
He is a sweetheart. He provides examples so group projects are understandable. You leave his class not only with knowledge on school but also a few life lessons. Such an inspiration! Few presentations here and there. You need to read the textbook for quizzes online. I swear you will be in good hands :) just do your part! Best class for a freshman!
This teacher really makes me understand every assessments he also give good feed back if your stuck on something and his pretty laid back just don't lazy and wait till that last min and do work if you don't pass his class then that s all on what you did not him but i really like this teacher!! he opens all the homework up so you get ahead & he care
Hands down, one of the best professor I got for my freshman year. There's always work, but at the end you'll be thankful. Not very hard though, easy class and easy tests. Talks a lot, but he's funny and very caring. Well respected. I would recommend him for EDUC, he won't let you fail, and you can't fail his class even if you try tbh. Give him a go
You need to do the homework through LaunchPad, which is so easy and takes you about 20 minutes or less for each chapter. You will have 2 group presents and he graded easily. The first one is about your assigned chapter, just need to do your work and get 100. The second one is taking notes of other groups' present, which is easy too. Take him!
shippy was a awesome teacher 10/10, his assignments were easy . definitely recommend taking him
He respects his students with affection, his group projects are easy and its fun working with him, he has a good grading criteria, his lectures are so amazing and gives us a chance to do lessons in front of the class to build up our confidence level for public speaking, very much caring about students and gives us extra credit for class activities.
Honestly he's the most sweetest person ever!! He inspired me to continue my journey in college. Def. should take him!!! Easy A if you do the work (:
Dr. Shippy is such an amazing instructor and he cares about his students so much. He provides examples for his assignments to help the students understand more about what he wants. He also uses time in class to answers students questions about his assignments.
Dr. Shippy is a good professor, however he gets off topic very quickly. The course is extremely easy; online hw, paper, 3 tests online. He provides guidelines for the paper which is extremely helpful, and allows you to use notes on every exam. This isn't a required course, but I do think it's helpful for college students.
Mr. Shippy is the best teacher I ever had
ok, i don't know the other raters were thinking when they start bashing about him but for me he was easy. Actually, he is easy for everyone so take him. HE IS REALLY EASY like you will pass With a A+
Amazing teacher
Hes a great person and professor. Easy A as long as you do the busy work and show up. He taught like a high school teacher, and he would call you out if you werent paying attention. I could see this being good for some college students, but it was painfully hard for me to act like I was paying attention the whole class to material I already knew.
He is very nice, kind and supportive. I attended his class one day a week on Sunday, this class is no stress. And he is an easy grader too.
Dr. Shippy was the best! Very understanding profesor. Gave every student advice about life and school. Would take him again!!
Dr. Shippy was an amazing professor, he really likes to get to know his students. Show up to class and you pass. He's very easy on grading, just communicate with him. His assignments are easy and overall would take him again if could :)
Dr. James Shippy, is an excellent professor. He spent time with his students, he walk all new student like me through step by step of the course. All you need to do is your homework, presentation and study for your assessment. His class is very easy. I had A in this class and i will take him over and over again. Thank you Dr James Shippy.
Sublime professor. Professor Shippy is an inspiration to this day. Took his lecture class in Spring 2020. Gives funny and motivational lectures. Few and easy assignments that he posts months ahead for you to do that can be completed from 5 to 20 mins max. I strongly recommend him. Don't wanna work? He'll just 'let you learn from your mistakes".
Mr. Shippy was a great teacher. He walked around as he gave lectures and talked loud and clearly. He gives simple work for you to pass well on, and inspires you through each of his lectures. Show up each time to class too and you'll do great!
I love him he is great.
He is the best.
Really good proffesor . Class was nice and easy . Hes a little bit sketchy on his homework . You have to do the assignments on time and pay attention to details unless you might get a 0.
He is great! You will 100% not regret it. All assignments and quizzes are simple and he truly cares about his students. For my first year of college he was a 10/10 and made my first year easier.
Dr. Shippy really sets his students up for success. He genuinely cares about his students and is very responsive. I had no idea what degree path I was interested in before taking his class and now I have a clear plan. Taking his online class was easy to navigate, just get your assignments in on time and you'll do well.
This is by far the most caring and invested teacher I've ever been taught by. He genuinely wants every single one of his students to excel.
DR. Shippy is the perfect professor to have during a pandemic. He is vey understanding and always offer help. He loves group projects which are super easy to complete even if you have unresponsive group member. 10/10 recommend!
Professor Shippy is amazing, he treats all his students with care and compassion. All of his assignments are unlocked since the first day of class so you could get ahead, he repeats his instructions and also attaches student examples of the homework so you get an idea as to what he wants. Easy work, only one research paper but its easy.
Easy grader, gave second chances on important paper, and made the class fun. Also, I was on Friday late evening and we were usually dismissed early.
If I knew what other class I could take from him, I would take. His lecture is easy to understand, you will always get an A if you do your homework properly. You can ask him to reopen the exercises again. Tests for each chapter are available on the Quizlet.
Professor Shippy is an excellent teacher. He is motivational and is determined to help each student in every way possible. Each assignment is explained weeks in advance and you are encouraged to email him for assistance or clarification.
Dr. Shippy is so enthusiastic and caring for all of his students. He can banter on for awhile about thriving and why things are important but classes were short and sweet. There were about two group projects and an essay but overall, super easy class.
Prof. Shippy TRULY cares about his students, he is there to help with anything!! Really Easy class, just show up and do the work he gives! took his class for 5 wk summer course online and it was super easy!!
Enjoyed his class. Very nice professor as an intro into college. Group work that you should contact your groupmates asap if online. Good layouts for quiz/test reviews.
he is the best Take him
The work is easy. Impossible to fail if you try. He's amazing and super nice. Really helps out and cares about you as more than a student. Gave really good advice. Group project can be difficult but he's really understanding.
He's very motivating, makes you come to class though and if you miss classes he gives a penalty.
Dr. James Shippy is such an amazing person. Is very kind-hearted, caring, and most importantly, VERY MOTIVATIONAL!!!!!! The class is very very easy. You don't even need to pay attention in class, just do your assignments on time and he will be happy. Easy class, great professor, W class!
Dr.Shippy is one of the BEST professors you will ever have! Very caring and inspirational. The work is fun! You learn a lot about college as well as yourself! HCC definitely picked the perfect prof for this course. Freshman feel welcome with him and the advice he gives is critical to your academic success
Great professor! Always reminds you of due dates!
Professor Shippy is the best he listens to you and never leaves a student behind. Group mates were difficult but he will for sure understand your concerns.
Dr. Shippy is the best Professor I have ever had in college, he is a tough grader, Ive always walked into his class and turn in the homework assignments on time. Youll love this class, and you should take it too.
Dr. Shippy is a very kind and understanding person. His teaching makes the class simple and easy. All he asks for is for you to take time to do all the assignments on time. If you do that you will for sure get a good grade
Honestly he was like the grandpa I never had. He motivated me in my introduction to beginning school again, I was having trouble with attendance but he pulled me to ask if everything was oaky. He genuinely cares and loves what he does. 100/100.
Amazing professor! He's a lovely guy who cares about his students. He gives plenty of time for assignments and offers clear rubrics and examples. Two very simple group presentations. One major essay is explained paragraph by paragraph. Turn in assignments early, and he'll likely show you what you can correct to improve your grade if needed.
Literally the best professor I have taken so far. You can tell that he loves what he does. He gives a good amount of time for each assignment which he explains in very great detail. He is an angel, ty Dr. Shippy!!
What can I say about this profesor his amazing best profesor from all my clases this far his the definition of amazing and Caring
He is very kind and understanding. he wants all of his students to pass. There isn't a ton of work and all of the work is easy. 10 out of 10 I would recommend.
This is my first semester with Professor Shippy and HE IS THE BEST> He truly cares about his students and wants them to succeed. He's like a grandpa once you get to know him lol def recommend
Take this class ASAP!! Dr. Shippy is a chill professor who cares a lot about his students. He's open to answering your questions and he's always more than willing to help you. Course work is easy and all at a steady pace-- there is no way you can fail. Dr. Shippy is one of my favorite professors!
He is one of the best professors. He teaches with all his heart and really cares about his students. I took online class, all of his assignments open from the beginning of the semester and you can do it early if you want to. His lectures are very organized. His assignments are easy too. Only one research essay, two tests and one final exam.
Left me preface this by saying: DO NOT take his class if you aren't ready to keep up with your work. Dr.Shippy is actually one of the few professors i've met who shows such care. He goes over things like a million times to make sure you got it. He does expect you to get your work done on time and is very very helpful.
Prof Shippy's style was awesome, he gently passes on task. He is a support to all and always got the students' back.
All these reviews below me are so true, literally the best professor you could take! I took his class during the spring semester and it was one of the few classes I was excited to come into, there are partner presentation and group presentations, which were fun cause it gave me an excuse to interact with others! Overall just a fun professor!
Great professor took him back in fall 2022 always a happy person find way to cheer up others. Work is very easy
Dr. Shippy is one of the best professors at HCC. The assignments are straightforward, and as long as you try and follow directions, you'll get an easy A. If you plan on taking him, be prepared to write a research paper and present two group projects but don't worry, they're really easy. TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN!
Awesome Professor, just like a father. Very caring. Please take him, he is the best !!! And yes you have to put in some effort as well.
He is an excellent instructor; you can see he enjoys his profession and students. He places a high value on being on time for class and completing assignments promptly. "Students drop themselves not the professors" BE ON TIME! Really easy class. You are the best Dr.Shippy! -Faith
He is very sweet and understanding. He's big about being in class and on time
Professor Shippy is so sweet I would recommend his class if you need it. Make sure you're ON TIME, he is big on attendance. You can pass his class w/ an easy A++ like theirs no way you should fail. He does talk a lot, but it's motivational and remember to *Plan,plan,plan.
He is amazing and very supportive.
Amazing Teacher. He supports and understands. VERY EASY CLASS TO PASS.
Professor Shippy is overall great. He's a very nice and caring person. His homework assignments, group projects, and exams are all very easy and hardly time-consuming. Most of what you learn in this class is common sense, so you'll be fine. Take Professor Shippy for this class if you're able to, you won't regret it!
excellent professor, punctuality is required. two group projects,rest are pre-planned easy assignments. very respectful and professional professor!!!
Love Dr. Shippy he's so sweet and cares so much about his students! Not tough on grading at all only tough on you if you aren't turning work in early gives excellent feedback very fun to talk to I very highly recommend you choose him!!!
I just completed his class and all I can say is that he's one of the best teachers if not the best teacher who I have studied under. He explains everything well and helps in relating to it so it makes learning much better. He replies to questions like Flash and overall is an amazing person. I would have loved to be in his class for more time.
Best professor
dude talks alot but hes cool
Professor Shippy was one of the best professors I've ever had while at HCC. He is very kind and will gladly answer any questions that you have. There isn't that much homework and he also gives thoughtful reminders for when things are due. He explains the assignments in a manner to where its hard to misunderstand it. I definitely recommend him!
Dr. Shippy is so caring I had a good experience at hcc thanks to him I didn't have to meet up with angry birds but he is very nice his class is also easy very and had multiple group projects but they were easy as well just pay attention that's all overall would take him again!
An excellent professor who is approachable and provides clear grading criteria.
He's an ok professor but he is BIG on turning stuff in early. Gave me a 0 assignment for turning it not the way he wanted it and when I turned it in ON THE DUE DATE, ON TIME because I should've turned it in earlier. He told me "This is the best thing that could've happened to you" after my grade dropped from a 94 to a 85. He's an alright professor.
As long as you do the assignments, you're guaranteed to make a "A"
He an amazing professor. They explain the material clearly, are patient with questions, and truly care about their students' success. Their class is organized, supportive, and easy to follow. I definitely recommend taking their course!
Best professor everrrr
This professor truly represents what HCC stands for. He genuinely cares about his students and wants them to become better people, not just better students. He is understanding, approachable, and supportive, and he creates a positive classroom environment.
I overall had an alright experience with his professor. I say "alright" because I was on the urge of being dropped due to my attendance. If you miss one day of class you will be on the professors list of being dropped from the class.
