......worst :(

This teacher should be fired! She does not know how to use all of the software that she teaches,she doesn't know how to spell!! (Just read the book required for the class) and she is not helpful with answering questions. She repeats herself a lot, but with information that does not help! DO NOT TAKE HER ONLINE CLASS!!!!!

she is very rude and tries to make you feel like you are beneath her when you ask a question. She thinks she is better than you but when really she is just rude........................................

What a joke!!!!!!!!!!!!

should be fired, disgrace to Brookdale, tries to put on an act of 'toughness' whereas, in reality, she doesn't know what she doing, doesn't even know the material herself, very very unhelpful...although she CAN entertain with her little stories of her daily "10 mile morning jogs."

What a ****. Horrible teacher. She writes her own books for the class and it is horrible. WARNING : DONT TAKE HER!!

She is very condescending. In reality she is a moron. Don't take this class! If you do, don't expect any help. She will ridicule you for not understanding something.

Do not take this teacher! I worked very hard in this class and still had to deal with her BS. She doesnt know what she is doing and she talks down to her students. The class is boring already but she makes it even worse. I still got an A in the class though, its easy if you have some previous knowledge of computers.

She is not a good teacher. She is so disorganized and always late grading. Its a good thing this class was so easy. You're better of taking it online to minimize how much you have to deal with her. She will make you feel like you are stupid for asking her to clarify things she screws up in her directions. Avoid her when possible.

She is totally unclear with what she wants and tried to make you feel stupid for asking. I have no idea how she runs the department but would be willing to bet it is a mess. I will stay miles away. If she reads this maybe she will go read a real syllabus because her's sucks. It's like half a page long... good class but stay away from her.

i wish i listened to these bad ratings and didnt move forward with taking her...she is horrible! she is unclear, standoffish, and she mumbles...she should be fired

She is the one of the worst teachers I have ever had. She does not teach anything that applies to the course. She never uses the board. She rambles on about nothing. There are no notes to refer back to. If you are wrong she lets you know you are wrong. She barely answers your questions. I would never recommend her to anyone.

Shafer is a horrible teacher. She is very rude to her students. Very immature and has a bad attitude. She never explained any of the material to me or any of the other students. The book is neccessary but not to the extent she wanted. I basically taught myself, and the tests were nothing like she said. Don't take her unless you want the aggravation

I have never in my life had such a terrible teacher. I am taking her online class now. sadly I had a family death and missed an assignment. after explaining my situation, she refused to help me in anyway - giving me a 0. she is unhelpful, rude and inconsiderate to her students as well as a UNFAIR GRADER, and thats an understatement.

she is not very nice. took her online class and was not helpful at all. she wrote very rude emails when asked for help and then would post them on a message board and would make even ruder remarks. she was not helpful like a teacher should be

Ms. Shafer's online financial literacy class is poorly designed, implemented, and run. Her bristling incompetence with the system was obvious from first test, in which many of the questions were incorrectly entered in the computer and had no appropriate answer. She is unhelpful and unwilling to work with students, and always combative.

This "professor" was the worst professor I have ever had. She is unclear, unhelpful and just a horrible miserable person. I took her online class and she failed me. She didn't post my grade at the end and I lost my financial aid for the semester. DO NOT TAKE!! When asked about it she was completely rude and unprofessional. Run while you can.

When yoou ask a question and the response is if you had read the syllabus you would know the answer there is a problem. When there is a snowstorm shutting off power and closing school and he will NOT allow you to submit a assignment one day late saying the power was not out the whole time you could have submitted this professor has problems,

Just when you think you've studied enough for her tests she throws you a curve-ball, she intentionally deviates from what she teaches to whats on the test. It is modern day torture people.

Horrible teacher, unwilling to help or offer extra credit, expects assignments in on time but takes forever to grade them.

If you want to take a class where you learn something and are encouraged to discuss and question the subject, don't take this one. You won't be treated like an adult. She has her favorites and if she doesn't like you, she lets you know. Ask a question, and the general response is 'if you read the book you'd know.' with no actual answer given.

Extremely rude. Not helpful at all. Marks you off for the littlest of things.

Horrible teacher, took an online class where the school knowingly sold me the wrong textbook with a already used online code. Not only could Phyllis not even tell me the right book I needed but after I had resolved the problem with the school I received a lovely hate letter from her yelling at me for going to the school for help. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

My last semester at Brookdale I decided to register for this class as an elective thinking it would be easy and enjoyable. I now regret that decision as I find myself not passing because of how tough of a grader she is. It was an online class but I went for extra help during her office hours. She helped me for about 30 seconds and left. DON'T TAKE!

Horrible professor. I would never take this professor again. She never gave help and ignored emails asking for extra help. The tests never followed what was taught, and always had random questions on it that had nothing to do with what was being taught in class. It would have been an easy class if there was a better teacher. Never take this class.

Terrible experience. Do not take her online course. She won't teach you anything, but will ask a lot. If you have a chance go to face-to-face class.

I would absolutely one thousand percent never recommend this lady who claims she's a "Professor" but really teaches nothing. Is extremely rude, thinks she's better than everyone else. Asked for extra help, got nothing. Dislike her teaching style, won't give her the time of day. Extremely disappointed as a student who spent their own $$ to be here.

She made a easy subject very difficult. Very boring.

Rude! Rude! Rude! Very self - important. Thinks her time is more important than anyone elses. Dropped the class quickly because I was unwilling to be treated so disrespectfully. Oh yes, did I mention she was rude? There are many other professors who are not RUDE. Do not know what her problem is but did not want her to be one of mine.

DO NOT TAKE IF YOU CARE ABOUT GPA. Not taught things on project. Teamed up with another student for help and still got a 70-80 on it. No test study guides. My first B grade. I have had strait A's for last few semesters.I reread chapters 2+ times before the tests. Numbers don't lie. Not allowed to turn in anything late (not a prob for me) sad..

Worst professor Ive ever had. She does not care about her students at all and is very rude. I asked for help for her, got absolutely nothing. She told me I have to grade myself because canvas isnt accurate at times so I walked down to the tutoring lab and sat down with the business 105 tutor to get find out what my grade is. Avoid at all costs.

Some teachers make/break a class. While the subject matter of Professor Shafers online BUSI-105 class was rather easy for me, the professors LACK of empathy and accessibility (does not respond to her e-mails regularly and is clear up front about this) is what led to me given this negative review. Take this class if you need it....

Professor Shafer was extremely rude. Whenever I would email her with a question or concern she would either never respond or respond with one word. I messaged her with issues I was having outside of class and asked for an extra day on a project and her only response was "Ok?" You have to read a lot and the questions on the exam are very tricky

This class has made my depression horrible. I study and try and try and nothing. After my last exam I cried and kept thinking to myself I cant do this. The worst part is I try to seek help and she doesnt answer AT ALL.

Worst class Ive ever taken. No help at all, and makes an easy subject hard.

She is my only professor that makes us figure out our grade on our own cuz "we're in college." I emailed her a question over break about a project no response as expected her reason was "it was my break too."

Professor Shafer's course material was manageable, but she was very condescending and hard to talk to. Throughout the semester there was SEVERAL errors and discrepancies in the syllabus, and she would respond were rude if it was brought to her attention. Her emails to the class were also very passive aggressive and unwelcoming.

Worst teacher I ever had. So nasty to all of her students for no reason. If you're taking this class be prepared for a nothing taught in class exam 3 with linear formatting. I asked one day "for clarification is the exam April 6th" she's like "are you in 2nd grade can you not read numbers is my 6 too small?" Made a not hard class just painful.

I wouldn’t recommend Professor Shafer at all! First off she doesn’t even help her students. I would email her for help and she wouldn’t even bother to respond. Then I go to ask her in class and she says “check the addendum”. Also her exams are really hard and she barely covers any important information.

The professor has unclear assignments and generally chooses not to answer any questions regarding assignments. The professor also name calls at students

Consider yourself a lucky soab if 2 of the topics she teaches actually ends up on the exams. She loves to say "Im not gonna baby you" when in reality she prioritizes babying and bullying her students rather than teacher. She'll make you look like a moron for asking questions. I emailed her that an assignment wasn't working all she said was "OK"

I'd rather work at McDonalds the rest of my life than take this nasty insufferably awful "professor" ever again. Everyone in my class hated her for very good reason, you can't encourage students to ask questions then bully them when they do so. Her email responses were always unwelcoming and rude. Exams are impossible, doesn't take any excuses.

I have never met anyone so rude in my life. She scolded at me during a zoom meeting claiming having my camera off WHILE I WAS IN THE BATHROOM was distracting! She should be a DMV lady, exams were absolute brutality. Do yourself a favor and don't endure her painfully long and boring lectures as NOTHING will end up on the exam anyway. Never again

Worst teacher i've ever had in my entire life, would rather cut my ears off than listen to her blabber. Would never recommend this teacher for anyone. she is a cold hearted, unfair, lazy, "teacher" she only puts her students down. did not try and help me with one issue I had the entire year. I hope she goes broke, I hated her.

No doubt the worst professor. Don't help and doubt you for every single thing. Put students down and will not help even if you have a valid reason. Her job is to make the easiest course the hardest class.

Terrible and rude professor. She gets annoyed easily and does not seem to like her job teaching students. Expects you to know everything she does and gets mad when no one knows a question. Avoid her at all cost.

Hard grader on homework and did not enjoy the boring lectures do not take, rude!!!

I low key have ptsd still from taking her almost 4 semesters ago lol . Very rude and gets annoyed easily . I would describe her as a bully with power . She seems to be very high up in the business department so any business majors try to avoid her . Makes class awkward with group work . She was my first ever college class too so not a good start.

Take her online class if you can as it is easier. Make sure not to miss any deadlines because no matter what you are going through she won't help at all with missing work. I had to repeat the class becasue I missed 1 project and exam due to technical issue and she would not open it no matte ryou are failing. She is rude and don't trust anyone.

If taken the class she is gives long lectures but she is not loud. So Sit in the front. She is a trough grader and doesn't give people a change to resubmit. Her directions on assignments are not clear.
