This teacher is one of the best teachers. He may be a pain sometimes but you walk away knowing ALOT. He is very informant on the subjects he teaches and is avery fair and helpful man. Thanks Sir.
Mr. Shkorupa is a very caring teacher. He will do anything for anyone in need. But,he expects you to do your part. As long as you do what is required of you, you'll be fine. I would recommend him any day.
Mr. Shkorupa is the best professor that I known. He is very helpful and passionate person about his work. I loved his class, and I would always recommed him as the best professor ever!! But do your work and you will learn a lot!!!!
He is a good teacher, but he is also an a**hole. He has a major attitude.
This is a great teacher, and he is very helpful. His class isn't too hard as long as you do the work.He is funny and knows what he is donig.
Great teacher: caring, down to earth, human, knowledgable, 98% easy-going, lively, helpful. Syllabus and instructions clear, very small, work load fine. Chapter presentation free-form, difficult to gauge what to teach on. Text was terrible, as were quizzes, sad that a better book isn't available.
He is a very interesting professor! He has a diff. teaching style; he loves discussion, open discussion. He gives all types of opportunities for students to learn all types of materials and experiences of other students in class by having each person present copies of their work studies for everyone in the class. Well-rounded knowledgeable teacher.
Great professor. He gives all the assignments the first day of class - with descriptions and due dates. These assignments are not hard. He is very knowledgeable (teaching for 42 years!) and very open to new opinions and ideas. Take him if you are willing to go to class and learn!
Very cool teacher.
Excellent professor! He is very clear and the class itself is not difficult. He is also very caring and can answer any questions with confidence. Great person!
I enjoy this Professor very much!!!! If you do the work, this class is easy. That is if you do the work!
He is the best!!!
He is a very nice guy and very knowledgeable. lots of hand outs if your not organized can be hard to keep track of them all. Also a lot of group work.
Class size was great. Great professor, just wished he taught other classes.
The class is a great class, there is great information available through his lessons. However, he is a jerk. If you are offended easily, dont take his course. I recommend the class, but not this professor.
He was good but talk about mixed feelings, it's like he grades as if he has something against you but then he turns around and comes across as if you are doing great in his class, I will NEVER take this class again.
The best class I have ever taken. What an eye opener. I was very surprised by the couple negative student remarks. They must have had other issues to say what they did about the instructor. He is absolutley a stitch and very enlightening. Lots of classroom experience. He hooked me into teaching!!!
Excellent Introductory course. I believe the professor has much insight because of his years of experience. Love the class so far...
he's great. he's really helpful. he's loose on deadlines. but if you do work you'll do GREAT!!!
One of the BEST!!! This was my favorite class of the semester. I will continue to take classes he teaches. The only thing you have to do to get a good grade in his class is do the work!!! It's not hard work....just do it!!! Hands down a teacher i will never forget!!!
great professor!!! he is one of the best. he knows exactly what he is teaching. we basically have discussions through out the class which is great because he gives everyone a chance to say how they feel. his lectures keep you thinking. do the work and there should be an A. i absolutely loved his class.
i seriously loved this class. by far my favorite class of the semester. he's not even as strict on homework. just do it! he tells you like it is. the lectures are pretty intense. this class was so funny and so much fun. i highly recommend this professor.
Wonderful professor. If you plan on going to the teaching field take him. He is a world of knowledge.Great humor, caring, and understanding. You rock Mr. S.
Great educator!!!!! I learned so much attending this class. He is a great guy and very funny. He really cares about his students and u can tell he enjoys teaching.
This teacher is great. Most of the class is discussion & he says there is no right or wrong as long as you give an opinion.. Do the few assignments that you are given & it should be an easy A. Plus you learn so much useful info about teaching. I was surprised at how much I liked the course. Definitely will use this teacher for all my EDU classes.
This is the second time I took Mr S. He is very fair and a great educator. There are a lot of assignments but they are fun and insightful. Make sure u contribute to the class discussion he expects that of all his students. Great professor!!!!!!!!!
He is an excellent professor... as long as you do your work, there should be no problem.
This guy is a great instructor and really cares about the students. And for a older man he is hot!!!!!! Check him out u wont be disappointed
Mr. Shkorupa is a very informative teacher! He gives you a lay out in the beginning of the semester that tells you EXACTLY what is going every class. There are a lot of assignments to do, but they are all really fun to do. He values everyones opinion. VERY fair. Great attitude as well :)
SECOND TIME TAKING HIM AND TAKING HIM AGAIN NEXT SEMESTER FOR EDU 280. GREAT GREAT PROFESSOR REALLY CARES AND KNOWS HIS MATERIAL.
He was nice at first but he kind of gave up at the end. I wasn't happy with his attitude just hope you catch his good side and you will be fine.
Shkorupa makes class very interesting. Be sure to do all assignments & read your material. Class participation is a must; if a debate starts its hard to get back on track! I enjoyed this class & learned a lot.
I've had the pleasure of taking EDU classes from Shkorupa for 3 semesters now, and I'd take another if it was available. He's an intriguing personality that fosters a very cooperative learning environment. Be warned though, if you have issues with tardiness or turning in assignments on time, he will call you out on it. Highly Recommended!
Very Helpful when there are problems with projects where no classmates helps.
I absolutely LOVED prof. Shkorupa!! I enjoyed his lectures and class discussions. He continuously stressed how important each student was and made us feel invaluable as future teachers. He's a stickler on attendance & assignments but his syllabus is very detailed allowing you to complete work ahead of time. I plan on taking every class he teaches.
Awesome
He is an excellent teacher. your grade is no mystery he gives you a grade sheet that breaks down the grades and he passes everything back. he is an excellent professor. I recommend him. oh and there are 20 hours of field observation.
great class! he gives info. that is very relevant and useful. He gave a take home final!
Took cultural diversity class. Attendance is mandatory. The class is an open forum & all students have discussions w/ each other. There are weekly take home quizzes with 2 ch a week. You are assigned 1 ch to do a presentation on & a presentation on a child issue. He is blunt & honest. Show up, do your work & get an A. Taking him next semester! A+!
I absolutely love the way he conducts his class. The class discussions are the highlight of the course. Love all the real-life examples. He's got experience! Fun class and very helpfull.
I love Prof. Shkorupa! If you are an education major you have to take his classes. He is full of advice and years of teaching experience in elementary and secondary education. There are a lot of assignments, but not overwhelming, a few quizzes, a midterm and a final. There is also a 15 min. lesson plan you have to give. TAKE HIM!
Great Instructor, love him, he is the teacher that inspires you to want to become a teacher, fair and knowledgeable, work hard and it pays off, have fun and enjoy.
The epitome of balance in the classroom. Strict & Lenient. Gets everyone involved by having students talk about issues in education. He wants to know our thoughts & he loves to bounce ideas around. I knew he was a great teacher the moment I missed an assignment & I was afraid he'd be dissapointed. Only someone worth admiring can make u feel that.
Great teacher! He was fun yet professional. He also never failed to help anyone in need of assistance. His "tell it like it is" attitude regarding the teaching field is very refreshing. I would definitely recommend him!
I had Professor Shkorupa for my edu 202 and 280 and am taking him for 210. He is a wonderful instructor and very funny. He encourages an open classroom where everyone can speak and be heard. He encourages differences of opinions from the text when he does use it, which is rare. And best of all, he always responds to your emails the same day!
He is one awesome professor! Being an introductory class, he really captured my interest going into this field. There are a lot of simple assignments, but they are all very beneficial. He truly cares about the future educators. He is fun, creates a great learning environment, and is extremely useful to work with. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
He is probably the best professor I've had while at CSN. Very clear in his expectations and encourages discussion among students. You can tell that he has a sincere love for education and he makes sure that you understand all concepts taught.
Now, whoever at rate your professor is in charge of handing out chili peppers, you better give Mr. S his hotness status back! ;)
best professor at csn. so helpful and i enjoy coming to class every time.
My sister and I took him and had a blast. He tells you what you need to know for an intro class, the good and bad side of teaching. Has a great sense of humor, and very approachable. I'm hoping we get to have another class with him before we graduate!
Best Ever! he tells it like it is.. its nice to feel you can go to a teacher and talk to him. I love how he set up his syllabus. Clear in every way. I hope i have him again.
THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!!!! Shkorupa is wonderful! Everyone should be required to take Shkorupa ! AMAZING professor!!!!!!!!!!! Be prepared to do a lot of work and present but I think it is a wonderfull preparation for people interested in the teaching field!!!
AWESOME Guy!!! Really helpful, want you to pass so he will work with you. Fun class too!!!
This professor is one of the best I've ever had! He's so helpful and he's very relate able, so it makes the class more fun and easier to understand. You are required though to speak in front of the class a lot, so try to not have a huge fear of public speaking. He is also very good at returning emails as soon as possible. I recommend him for sure!
This professor is very fun! He always has intersting subjects to talk about and has a helping hand. Not only is he funny, but extremely cool and down to earth. Really enjoyed his class
Great teacher. Easy assignments. He actually made the class fun and I learned alot. I would definitely take more of his courses.
Best Professor I've ever had!! I loved coming to class! If you're looking for EDU 202 this is it!!!
Top of the line teacher.. Take as many classes that he teaches. Awsome class
GREAT TEACHER! The text was boring, but what can you expect from a law class. The teacher makes it as fun as possible, always throwing in funny you tube videos and starting debates amongst the class. TAKE INTRO, LAW, and DIVERSITY WITH THIS TEACHER!!!
good teacher,very easy class
Shkorupa is an amazing instructor! I've taken multiple classes of his. He's very clear with what he wants, so you have no excuse to not have your work. He's there to help you, but you have to make the effort. Class is always fun and interesting, no matter what class it is he is teaching. Everyone should take his class at least once!
BEST TEACHER! So wonderful that I decided to take 3 of his classes. The class is fairy easy if you complete all the assignments on time and have no more than 2 absences, but the grading scale is a little different which is what can make getting an A a little difficult. MOST AWESOME TEACHER! Enthusiastic and fun.
Fantastic teacher. Amazing personality. He will do everything he can for you as long as you do what you need to in order to pass. Show up, participate, do the work, go home happy.
Literally one of the best teachers I have ever had in my life. Take him, you will not be disappointed!!
Great Professor!....class lectures are interesting and he encourages his students to have a opinion and be heard..assignments are easy and to the point you learn alot! If you follow the syllabus and hand in assignment on time you will pass! Final in 210 open book!
Best Professor in the EDU field at CSN. He's fun, hip, knows how to speak to his students to keep them interested in cultural diversity. Assignments are difficult; BUT THE BEST ASSIGNMENTS i've ever been given. Love this class. He's very helpful, and responds back to emails almost immediately. You will love him.
He is such an awesome teacher, my friend took him and recommended his class to me and I love it.
most awesome teacher ever, love him.
Such a great guy! I have had him for 2 classes and would love to have another class with him.
Best Professor ever!
This man is a teachers, teacher! He inspired me to be the best I can be. Robert Shkorupa truly cares about his students and is willing to make the extra effort it helps them to succeed. He says it like it is, sparks debate and inspires a passion for teaching. Give it your best effort and you will do well in his class. AWSOME teacher!
Freakin love this guy!!! After a twenty year break from school, Mr. S was my first professor (for both of my classes). He is who I want to be when I grow up! Mr. S for president!!
Great teacher! Brings all sides of a debate, to the class. Has a passion for the class!
Professor S is absolutely amazing, He is very fast at responding to emails and answers any questions you may have. During discussions he is very good about listening to everyone's point of view before putting in his 2 cents. He is funny and you almost always get out early!
I absolutely love professor Shkorupa. He is absolutely hilarious and he makes Nevada Law fun. There aren't a lot of assignments and he is a really easy grader. If he sees that you put thought into what you do, you'll be fine. I highly recommend taking his course.
Would definitely take him again, he is an incredible teacher and makes lecture time fun.
Although there are quite a few assignments in this class, all of them are relatively easy but they are also educational, thought provoking, and enjoyable. Professor Shkorupa knows his stuff and opens discussions up for great in class interaction. I look forward to taking a couple other classes from him in the future!!!
Mr. S is the kinda guy you want to hug 5 minutes after meeting him! He's the type of man you invite to BBQ's and family functions because you're proud to call him your friend. He is one of the most kindhearted, open minded, compassionate people I've ever met. If you're looking for a role model in the education field and life,this is your guy!
Professor Shkorupa is an amazing teacher! I wish I could take more of his classes! He is courteous to all students and funny! Show up to class, do the work, and you will get an easy A. It may seem like a lot of work, but if you space it out, it isn't very much.
I've taken 201 and 210 w him & he's one of my favorite professors. He's helpful, replies to e-mails quickly, & doesn't make you feel like an idiot for asking questions. I respect him & how he genuinely wants you to do well. He's funnyfriendly, but not an easy-A. You HAVE TO read the textbook, show up to class on time, & write essays. Don't text!
Shkorupa is my favorite professor I have had and even though I am not taking him this semester I wish there was a class I could take with him. He is one of those professors that stay with you, that make an imprint on your heart and you carry with you for a lifetime.
His syllabus is everything. It is highly organized and contains all of the crucial information you need before each class- except the specific dates of tests. For reading: know the bold print(210) or key words(202), though 210 more than minimum reading is recommended. Presentations and writing assignments for homework. Always invites discussion.
One of the best teacher's I've had at CSN without a doubt, he wants all his students to be successful. If you put the time in so will great ol' Bob, who is without a doubt the most experienced and best education teacher at CSN.
He is awesome
such an amazing teacher, great about what he teaches, and he teachers on how to become better educators, I recommend him. everyone that has taken him would tell you how amazing his class was.
Greatest professor to take any EDU classes from. He has changed my life and has had such an impact on me. It's individuals like him who motivate us to want to become teachers. I love him. Took him for 210 Law and 280 Diversity. Phenomenal for both. Just show him your passion and strut your skills. He's amazing.
Favorite teacher of all time! You MUST take him if you want to be an effective teacher. He is kind, courteous and really makes you think. I promise you will love his class! Best EDU Teacher at CSN!
Easy class if you keep up with your work. Professor was awesome but at times a little snappy. Don't be on your phone because he definitely has no problem calling people out. Get ready for many group projects, that's the only way class was really taught. Overall an enjoyable class with many emotions and laughter.
He is one of the best professor's I have ever had. He is simple, to the point, let's you know what is expected, and makes the class fun. He conveys his message across really well, and I enjoyed his class a lot. Come to class, pay attention, and do your work for that A.
I took his law class and his diversity class and did well in both. He is a nice guy with clear expectations and gives lots of constructive criticism. There is a lot of work to do, but if you follow the grading sheet he gives out, you will have no problem. I got A's in both classes and enjoyed my time in them for the most part.
Professor Shkorupa by far is the best! Although his classes require work, the projects are incredibly beneficial & I am a better for them. He has made such an impact on my life that I wish that I had a personal connection with him. I would do anything for him to be my crazy uncle that I never had!! Take Shkorupa for any class you can!!!
Best professor at CSN. Took him for Law, Diversity, and Intro to Elem Ed. Shkorupa is very personable and has amazing stories that relate to everything we're learning. He always makes the classroom comfortable for everyone and it's always a good time. There is work though - just listen in class and follow the syllabus, you will pass.
40+ yrs of teaching wisdom and Prof. S. loves his students. He worries about them. He rejoices when they succeed. It is likely that you will become attached to him, so be ready to walk over coals for him, because you will want to. I mean it. Thank you, Prof. S. I will revere you for the rest of my life and will honor you every day that I teach.
Definitely take this guy at CSN. Attendance is mandatory. Assignments are all in syllabus and up to you to keep track of. Helpful with your community service/observation assignments. His sense of humor may be offensive to some so go in with some thick skin. Open minded to different viewpoints so don't be afraid to openly discuss topics in class!
This is the best class and professor I've ever had. I learned so much and am excited to continue into the field of education. I hope to end up in one of his classes again. He has the best stories from experience and you can tell he is passionate about what he does.
I loved this teacher, if you are unsure of education, this is the guy to go to get a boost of confidence. He is always exciting and makes class enjoyable. The material is not hard, but the class does require a good amount of work, but it is so worth it! I would recommend over and over
His class was very easy all you need to do is read before tests and you will be perfectly fine. He does not give a midterm and on the final you can use notes or any kind of electronic device. His class was always entertaining and he is extremely nice and funny! Would definitely take again.
Great Class. He is opinionated but is NOT trying to offend anyone and is happy to apologize if he does. He allows class discussions and will listen to others opinions. Read the syllabus and follow it he will not remind you what is due unless you ask. Easy class if you put in the time and effort. He makes learning fun and is always there if needed.
This class is run by the students. He just facilitates and does so very well. Discussions are encouraged. Great teacher. If you do the work you will pass. Lots of presentations. Opinionated prof. but doesn't mean to hurt feelings or offend. Very fun class and environment. Highly recommend.
I absolutely LOVE Shkroupa. He is the best professor I have ever had at CSN. He's very helpful and understanding. You will have a mid term, Final, and roughly 5 or so tests throughout the semester. The tests can be tough if you don't study. I will continue to take his classes. He does tend to get off topic sometimes, but his discussions are great!
I took 3 classes with Prof Shkorupa: EDU 202, 210, 280. I would take more if I could. I just left my last day of my last class with him and I am more motivated and inspired to teach than ever before. He covers what is needed to empower you to teach but most of all, he teaches you to love the kids and avoid stereotypes. My favorite Professor of all.
I have taken professor Shkorupa two times now, and I'm gonna take him again. You will not find a better teacher at csn. Professor Shkorupa focuses more on engaging students with interaction and assigns very little work. Most assignments are simple and require little work. You will gain everything important from his fun, inviting lectures. TAKE HIM
My only disappointment with Professor Shkorupa is that I have taken every class I can of his, and cannot have him as an instructor in the future. He lectures in a very easy going manner and involves all the students in topical discussions. He is warm, friendly and an excellent instructor. Highly recommended
He very obviously loves his career and by the end of the first day in his class I was beyond excited to become a teacher. His class is a lot of fun, I learned more than expected, there were assignments and projects but most were fun and all were not too difficult. If you have any questions he is very willing to help. Will take more classes with him
Prof. Shokupa is an amazing professor! He cares so much about his students! If you're an education major be ready to have an amazing professor that inspires his students. But beware you have alot of projects to do. But overall they're a lot of work but if you do bad or turn in late he understands and lets you redo it. I recommend one hunnid!
Awesome person he really cares about everyone. He is very funny everyday I would recommend him to anyone.
Best professor at CSN by far!!!
BEST! Thoughtful, organized, fair! So knowledgeable, you will learn! Builds up students and instills confidence, all while correcting their weakness and areas that need improvement! The Educator for future Educators! ANYONE that plans on teaching should experience his class and should inspire to emulate Professor Shkorupa and his teaching style!
I have taken this professor for 3 different classes and every time I have him, I extremely enjoy my semester. He makes great syllabi and his lessons are interactive and fun. If you want to go into education, this is the man to take to help you succeed!
Most of your grade is based off of three presentations. Then you have take home chapter quizzes that are due each week. There are confusing questions sometimes, but missing them won't affect your grade as long as your do them regularly and do well on your presentations. It is very enjoyable and you get to know your classmates.
Gives all due dates the first day of class Very clear in what is expected for assignments Great lectures
He is one of the nicest professors I've ever had the pleasure of having. He's very funny and knows his stuff. He wants you to be there and do your work because it really does help you gain a better understanding of what it's going to be like being a teacher. He gets an A+ from me.
This man is a wonderful teacher and human being. He is passionate, and speaks his mind. You need to go to class, because if you don't he will start docking points. The course consists of a few tests, and a presentation on your interpretation of a cartoon. Lots of engaging class discussions too. I'm going to miss taking his classes.
At first I didn't like him, but towards the end of the semester I realized that he was cool. Shkorupa is the best education professor at csn. He's funny and inspirational, I would recommend taking this professor !!
He was chill for the most part. He wants students to participate and you do have to study for the tests.
While his teaching methods didn't entirely mesh with my learning style, I did still thoroughly enjoy Shkorupa's class. He focuses more on media for presenting ideas and topics, and discussion is a big component in the class. He is very understanding, helpful, and a genuinely caring professor. Attendance and field observation are mandatory.
I recently took his class, and considering that it was also my first year of college it was pretty easy. We do have homework but we do have extra credit. He's a wonderful teacher and i would do it all over again.
My first time taking a class at CSN and this so far was my favorite teacher I have had. As long as you follow the Syllabus you will pass with a good grade. I recommend all of his class.
I have taken Professor Shkorupa for two semester now and plan on taking him for a third. He's one of the funniest professor's I have had and is structured as well. His classes are very easy if you do the assignments which are in it of themselves fairly easy as well. Most of the class is comprised of discussions. The class is fun yet insightful.
Well organized, accessible, his lessons and assignments cause you to look deep within your heart and mind to evaluate your actions and, behaviors and personal strengths. He is funny, kind, genuine and patient the best example of what every teacher and future educator should strive to be! What an honor it is to have been his student!
He is amazing! I have had him twice and wished he taught more classes. Very funny, informative, realistic, and willing to work with you. His lectures are NOT boring and he is so easy going and down to earth. He expects you to do all the work (mostly artifacts), doesn't like late work, but is very understandable. Clear syllabus, no surprises.
Gives assignments but doesn't explain like a teacher should. Expects you to ask peers when they don't know and he won't explain. Expects a reason why you miss class but won't help you with the assignments. References the text book but we never open it. At end of semester tells you you have missing assignments you never knew about. Changes syllabus
He is really nice and caring. Quizzes are hard and not only on vocab as he says. Study book for quizs/tests! He is very organized and posts syllabus online. Read it CAREFULLY as it tells you when exactly assignments are due! There's no way you can miss one when its organized in your syllabus. You have speeches too. Took him twice and would again.
I would never take this professor again if I was paid to. He gives a bunch of files online with the syllabus and week by week schedule. Other than that, you are on your own. Will not tell you when assignments are due. Never talks in class about anything that will be on homework, quizzes, or tests. Everything on tests is in the book.
Caring teacher, organized, fantastic personality, kind and fair! He makes you want to be the best teacher ever and go out there and make a difference in a child's life! He is an old guy, but so hip and in touch with today's issues and his class! Easy A if you follow directions and do assignments! He will answer your questions! What an inspiration!
Let me start off by saying that in my three years of college I've had so far, I've had VERY exceptional professors. Mr. Shkorupa is for sure in my TOP THREE best instructors by far! He is a sweet and fun guy and his lessons are extremely informative and easy to understand. He's a very fair grader and it's easy to get an A in his class! Take him!
Mr. Shkorupa did a great job at teaching his diversity class. If you're looking at this website because you're skeptical of a diversity class, this is the one to take. Pros: fair, down to earth, creates a real teaching eviorment. Cons: almost too fair, too down too earth, creates too real of a teaching eviorment.
He played a movie for us the last day of class and I still showed up. It was a great movie, would watch again. Do yourself a favor and take his class, he models what education is.
Really great guy. Not very good with technology but makes it a fun class.
Mr. Shkorupa is the perfect example of what an education professor should be. He's a fantastic lecturer, funny as heck, and very caring toward everyone. He's crystal clear in all of his lectures and provides videos and other materials to get his point across 100%. Also, his syllabus breaks everything down week by week. He's basically perfect.
amazing professor, makes learning fun.
Professor Shkorpua is great! His Edu 280 class consists of 3 presentations and various take home tests. After you have finished the three presentations you are essentially done with the "hardest" portion of the class. This class in conjunction with a difficult class is great so you can focus on the harder class and still get your Edu class credits
He really cares about his students. He goes out of his way to make sure you are doing exceptional in his class without pushing too hard. The more participation you do in his class the better. He is what I strive to be as teacher one day.
Professor Shkorupa is awesome! He does tend to get off topic during lecture, but those complaining about not knowing when assignments are due is probably because they didn't read the syllabus. Due dates are clearly laid out and you will need to refer to the syllabus regularly.
He sends out a pdf file of every due date for the whole semester. Sometimes his explanations for assignments is a little unclear but he will usually extend the date if you email in advance with you confusion.
Professor Shkorupa is a really fair professor. He is very understanding and, in my opinion, tries to help out a student as much as possible.
He is just an amazing teacher. He has been in the district for a while and has been teacher for even longer so he knows his way around. He is always current with news relating to teaching. Conversations are amazing. He posts everything on Canvas. I'd suggest printing out your data sheet and checking with him often to know your final grade. Amazing!
He's a fair professor, if you do the work as well as follow your syllabus you should pass the class just fine. The professor values his profession very much and expects nothing less than the best from you. Is always there to help when he's needed, although sometimes he comes off as rude because he expects you to see/understand things as he does.
I love him and im taking him again next semester for 280! show up and listen to his lectures. Chill and super funny! he asks how your day is and he plays funny videos! Follow syllabus and you'll do good and make sure you participate discussions here and there. I feel like i only got an A- cuz I didn't do good on ONE test.
Professor Shkorupa is a decent professor. He can crack jokes and make the classroom environment friendly. He is very opinionated and gets into long lectures about his opinion, so if you disagree with him it feels like a big waste of time. Treat him with respect and he will reciprocate it.
Okay so there is a hefty bit of work, however, he thoroughly lays it all out within his syllabus including the due dates. There is frequent quizzes about terms from the textbook. However, it's all fairly easy if you can get down a good schedule and have self sufficiency. He has an enjoyable personality and great stories!
Great syllabus, extremely organized. Fair grader. Expects participation. I would take for all of my educational units if possible. This professor went above and beyond when extending assignment due dates due to COVID-19. Every lecture was fun, engaging, educational and insightful. (Warning, he can be blunt, but just don't take it the wrong way!)
I was forced to take his class online and I can definitely tell that he struggles to teach this way. He's doesn't really use Canvas to its full potential, he just posts everything as a "file" and lets students figure it out. The syllabus is a headache to read as it's not organized well. He gives amazing feedback but I would never take him online.
Dr. Shkorupa is probably my top 5 favorite people in the entire universe. He is so passionate about what he does and is the most caring, funniest teacher to all his students. He puts his whole heart into teaching and tries to make class as enjoyable as possible. The assignments were all laid out and extremely easy, TAKE HIM AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!!!!
His online class was a little hard to navigate at first because he only uses the 'files' on Canvas, but the assignments are straightforward and he answers student emails quick. You have to do the Field Observation and the Praxis which can feel like extra work but he has a great week-by-week syllabus to help. Read, do the work, and you can get an A.
I took this class online and it was a bit difficult to navigate at first because he has everything under "Files". The syllabus is straight forward and tells you which assignments and tests are due for every week. Just do the assignments and you'll get an A
If he learned canvas he would be perfect but he uploads a mess of files and forgets to grade some papers. He is so helpful and kind. Hes how a teacher should care for his students. Just PLEASE use canvas properly Mr SH! Super good teacher and class and homework just poor utilisation of canvas.
Professor Shkorupa is an AMAZING professor and given the circumstances that we endured this past year he did his absolute best. I took his online class for the 2021 spring semester. And I will admit, at first I was a little lost. EVERYTHING is on the syllabus and make sure you read EVERY word! and he is super fast at responding to any questions!
This class was easy and informative! I ended up buying the textbook out after having just rented it because I felt like it had so much important information! It was a bit confusing to figure out in the beginning, but the syllabus literally has everything you need to do on it. If you follow the syllabus, easy A!
Some have complained that he only used files in Canvas. Tip print the syllabus and mark of assignments when done. This was a easy A in my book. Most weeks were answer questions from the book. There was 2 major assignments and two test. He graded quickly and responded to emails in a timely manner.
His class is very easy if you do the work. I wish he used canvas more properly but instead he just puts everything into files. You do presentations based on the topic you choose. Be aware of what date you sign up for and be prepared. The quizzes are easy just learn the lecture terms and read the book. Theres a midterm and final as well.
I am not sure how this prof has such a high rating, but I highly suggest not taking this class. College is expensive and for a prof to not even use canvas aka the required platform is pure laziness. No structure, confusing assignments, and no way to see your grade the entire semester.
solid class, he is a very easy grader mainly grades off you just trying not if its correct. He let me turn in assignments late for full credit! Although, I ended up turning assignments in late since he does not use canvas so it was hard to keep track of due dates but whatever. Take his class easy A!
He constantly said out of pocket things and his lecture did not give any info for quizzes. He has a textbook you're required to get but I didn't get it, never studied for quizzes, yet still got an A???? He said MANY misogynistic and racist things in lecture. Word count wont let me say much more, but there is much more.
This professor is not for everybody, but im still glad I took him. He's not online savvy. But he is an easy grader and gives very kind and easy feedback. Syllabus is very word heavy, so ready it multiple times, or you'll definitely miss dates. Overall good professor, just wish he used Canvas. Still a good professor though.
I was very surprised that he was teaching a class on diversity. He made very inappropriate & ignorant comments about others and even myself and my appearance. I left his course after the 2nd time attending his class. I thought maybe my experience on day 1 was abnormal, but unfortunately that was not the case, as he was no better on the 2nd day.
Ez class BUT he made rude comments abt a group of tattooed students' ability to be hired as teachers in the future, suggesting tht their tattoos wld b seen as unprofessional & negatively impact their job prospects. This behavior is unprofessional & disrespectful. It perpetuates harmful stereotypes and discrimination. Just the tip of the iceberg.
The syllabus is hard to understand. He talks about pregnant women sometimes and its weird. Took this class last year and I regret it lowkey
You can tell that this professor truly cares about what he teaches. He isn't online savvy at all but clearly explains how to find everything that is needed. You have to show up to class, but the assignments are easy and he gives multiple opportunities for extra credit. He makes some comments that show his age, but I thought he was a great professor
Very iffy about this teacher. He is funny and a good teacher but he makes some weird comments. Class is boring sometimes, lots of videos. Easy though
Professor was very understanding, he isn't the best with technology as he has the entire course on a file so it was difficult at first trying to find due dates but I got the hang of it. There is weekly chapter tests, two slideshow presentations, chapter reviews towards the end of the semester. This class also required 10 hours community service.
I'm almost impartial to this professor. If it were not for the fact he had pulled his shirt over his head, essentially flashing the class, in a fit of rage in order to prove a point, I would give him a 3/5. What he did was weird and disgusting, almost like a tantrum. Wish I could go back in time and tell myself to not enroll.
Unsure why he's rated so high. Nice guy, but extremely out of touch and goes on tangents about unrelated things, often political. Once (somehow) segued from discussing grading to BLM and hating Trump? Also seems out of touch with his mental faculties. Course was easy, consisting of reading and basic writing. Not sure how useful an intro it was...
He bragged that his wife was his past student, which is unethical. He can't use a computer. All the coursework was dumped in one folder on Canvas with inconsistent labeling, and he constantly needed help opening or playing files. The syllabus was confusing due to how things were labeled and organized. It took 3 of us to piece it all together.
This guy is such a card. I'd love to hang out with him, but as a professor, I find his comments inappropriate and rude. If you have to take this class, keep your head down. Just get it over with.
Firstly, the professor is not tech savvy, and all assignments are listed in files/syllabus and have to be submitted via canvas inbox. Grading criteria is typically very vague, but still pretty easy. Just be super on-top of checking due dates, the actual material is super easy.
I took two of his EDU online classes, and enjoyed both. As long as you keep track of the syllabus and each assignment, this class is very straightforward. 280 requires 10 hours of service-learning/community service hours. I completed mine at Three Square, and was grateful for the experience. Answers questions quickly, and cares about his students.
Have taken him for 202 and 210. Very easy courses; one in person; one online. Assignments are easy and straightforward.
Took his class, and it was really easy. Assignments are a bit confusing to find, and you have to calculate your own grade and keep track of your assignments because he DOES NOT use Canvas like other professors; everything is in the files tab, which makes it confusing. Other than that, I enjoyed this course.
His organizing is absolutely horrible. If you can, choose another professor!
Avoid this online course especially if it is your first introduction to the field of eduction. The professor is disorganized and unclear. He is not tech savvy, and his WebCampus is compiled from copied documents and modules from the Education department with broken links to documents and his own files that are unclear. It is impossible to decipher.
His assignments are posted through the files, which is extremely difficult to navigate. He's not tech savvy enough to be teaching online courses, and he uses Canvas in a way I've never seen before. I don't recommend this professor as it's easy to become disorganized with this strange online teaching approach, and navigating his class is confusing.
Professor Shkorupa is awesome! You have to be ready to be confused when finding course assignments and figuring out how to do them. But he is very kind &understanding. If you explain that you are confused, he will respond and try to answer your questions clearly. The syllabus is a lot, and so are the files, so take notes and write everything down.
His class is very disorganized and you might crash out in the beginning so be prepared BUTTT once you get the hang of it, it is so easy and he is always there to help. Literally one of my fav professors, he doesn't grade harshly and reaches out to remind you about assignments if you are behind or missing something. TAKE HIM!
Once you realize that the majority of the class materials are in the files (make sure you check them all thoroughly, as he's more disorganized than an unsolved Rubik's Cube), this class is overall very easy, basic reading and writing, and easy quizzes, and the field observation, which can be a pain, but it's doable.
