Easy laid back teacher. A little shy during the first week of class. HUGE Lakers fan. Hes pretty young so i think that makes him easier to get along with. He doesnt choose favorites and grades fairly. Not much homework at all and a lot of in class discussions which is a plus for me. Shiroma is a good teacher. Take his courses.
cool guy. wants to have fun in class while teaching which makes the time fly by. easy homework assignments. relaxed classroom environment. i recommend this class if english is NOT one of your strong subjects, he is extremely helpful and grades very fairly
Ryan is awesome as long as you do your homework and keep up with the class and do the essays you'll get a good grade in the class. He makes the class interesting and fun. Don't hesitate to take his class you'll be glad you registered for his class.
wonderufl teacher. very laid back and nice. is very clear with his intrusctions. have homework every night but its easy. lots of in class discussion makes time go by, but if no one talks he makes you do work and its boring. take this class
He is the best instructor I have seen. I learned a lot from his class. He is very helpful. He is willing to help you whenever you need. Moreover, his class is very funny. I am sure you can pass if you take this class.
Ryan is such a great teacher! he's very helpful and makes class fun! never boring..homework assignments were not hard and neither was the midterm just do the readings and you'll be fine overall awesome teacher, take him! take him! take him! :)
Ryan "Up" Shiroma is awesome enough said.
Ryan is by far one of the coolest youthful teachers around. if you just attend and keep up you will have no problem passing his class. The homework is common sense. Ryan you are one of the greatest teachers you were so understanding thanks Ryan "MJ"
Ryan, is the greatest teacher in the fullerton campus, he is so helpful and understanding. Its so easy to pass his class if you turn in your assigments everyday and attend as well. Ryan taught me English when I thought I would never learn.
Shiroma is good teacher. He teach me right and read. He gr8. He like basketballz. He big fan. He look ike Kobe Bryant. He bad !!! He really funni. Klass is izzy. He like play devil advoc8 wit class.He mak every 1 laugh. He bad !! U musst tak him. Shyroma is #1 !!! He like teach. I give him 3 thumbz up thi. Sheroma is shi'tity good !!
Shiroma was a very good teacher and i usually dont like english teachers. If you attend class and do the readings you will do fine. A few essays during the semester that you need to take seriously. He is the kind of teacher that wants you to do well. actually felt like a person in his class. take him, he is dope!
Ryan Shiroma is an awesome professor. English is one of my weaker subjects, but he has helped me overcome my fear of English classes. It is definitely possible to get an A in his class, provided that you are consistent with the journals. The journals help tremendously with the essays. I wish I had put more time into the research paper so that I
AWESOME instructor! I was intimidated about the class, but Professor Ryan made it fun and teaches at a level where it's not discouraging for ESL students, like me! I just want to say THANK YOU again, Professor Ryan! -West Coast Student!
A really nice teacher but the quality of the class is lacking. Only having to turn in 4 essays seems too easy. Any other homework can be easily tossed together in a few minutes, without a need to review for errors or quality. Class time is spent discussing the reading, not our actually writing. I would have preferred more discussions on writing st
I feel like I'm a much stronger writer since taking this class. Shiroma uses discussions, readings, and quizzes to help your writing. He grades fairly. He doesn't pick favorties. Huge Lakers fan! Take him!
shiroma is amazinggg! his readings are very interesting. the only homework we had would be journal entries which are short and of course an essay here and there. but those of you who dont like english, take this class because it doesnt even seem like an english. he is young so he relates to the students. Wish he was teaching eng 100.
By far one of my favorite Professors at FC. Not only is he funny and down to earth, but he helps students improve their writing. He works with students to succeed. If you are looking for the right english professor, you're pick should be Ryan.
Best professor I've ever had! He is by far one of the best English teacher's at FJC. His assignments are never hard as long as you don't procrastinate, and he makes sure that the assignments are entertaining. TAKE HIS CLASS.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!!! He's fun and you learn so much without even knowing that you are. I so wish he taught ENG 100, so if you need to take ENG 60, TAKE IT WITH SHIROMA! He's really funny, nice and honestly my favorite teacher since Kindergarten. :)
EXCELLENT Professor, My grammar sucked before I took his class, he even found a great book for us, and he made sure it was not expensive. I was lucky to get him as an instructor. He did a great job, Take his class before seats fill up next semester.
Good teacher! He is really nice and helped us out when we needed him. He is always available when you need to ask a question. He prepared us very well for English 100. He is really funny and always has a smile on his face. Very good teacher. I recommend him.
AMAZING teacher! I highly recommend him, he's funny and very entertaining. He's a tough grader, but he's very fair. He wants you to succeed and will do anything in his power to help!
I VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROFESSOR! His class structure was very well thought out to prepare you for ENG 100. Attendance is taken, but classes were well worth it! The work load is easy and the syllabus helps out to get you ahead! I've become a stronger writer because of his help. 'JEE'
Wonderfull English teacher! He deserves to be full time at Fullcoll. Class structure is tough and when completed we had written longer essays then your average eng 100 class. He has his heart in teaching a very rare trait these days. Lots of off track stories that make class great. Honestlywants every student to succeed
the BEST professor ever!!!! very clear and helpfull
Ryan is one of the best teachers I've ever had. He really prepares his students for English 100 and he GENUINELY cares. Even though I was not a weak writer when I started his class, I still learned so much! If you have the opportunity to take him for any class, you should jump at the opportunity. F.C. needs to hire him FULL-TIME!
Mr. Shiroma is a really nice guy. He sincerely cares about his students. Its a relatively easy class as long as you take the class seriously and take time to write well thought out papers. He is very clear about what he wants which is very helpful. I highly recommend his class.
at least 1/4 of the students in class had him in lower English's and plan to continue taking him. There is hmwk most nights but very easy. He is VERY good at being able to tell that everyone writes differently, even those where English is a 2nd language and grades fairly based on all of that. He is very approachable and always willing to help-TAKE!
Great teacher! Great topics! Great readings! He really cares about students and loves what he does. Makes class fun with his sense of humor. Turned in a paper with a dollar attached to it. He was cool about it and laughed. He said to try a $5 bill next time ha ha ha!
I looked forward to attending Ryan's class. It's very lively and entertaining. Readings are required. 2 chapters per class and 2 journals cooresponding to those readings. Grades pretty easy. Just make sure you do the journals and take notes for the quizzes. Those quizzes are worth 20 points each!! I had a blast.
Ryam is the best teacher ever! i learned and improved my writing so much by being in his class. He really cares if your willing to put in the work! i had so much fun in his class!
Before this class I couldn't write a paper to save my life but after I was writing "A" papers. Ryan is an excellent professor he really cares about helping you become a better writer. This class is easy if your not a complete slacker, but still challenging. But he really helps you prepare for your papers and definitely prepares you for ENG 100
He's an amazing professor, you will learn alot in his class and he doesn't make it boring. I have never liked English and he makes it so interesting. Thanks to him I learned more in his class than I did in any other English class. He takes pride in teaching. Best English teacher!!
course taken at el camino
Ryan is amazing! he is always willing to help you in any way he can but you have to put in the effort. Thanks to him I find writing papers a piece of cake. If you have an 80% or higher at the end of the semester you don't have to take the final, but his quizzes are tough. Be prepared to do work!
Not a very easy A but if you really try hard and go to him for help you can get an A. English was never easy for me (I took Engl100 three times before i finally passed w a B) but I have an A in this class. He expects a lot from his students but he also prepares them very well for everything he assigns. He will prepare you well for college writing
He is a good professor to take, however, if you want to hear to same inspirational speech over and over again, this isn't the ideal class. If you can get over the long, repetitive lectures, then it should be fine. There's a lot of assignments with a lot of depth. You can't fall behind. I learned a lot though.
one of the best English teachers I have ever taken at FJC. pretty hot too! The only thing I didn't like about was the group essay! my grade went down for another students grade but other than you should take the class. You will enjoy it and learn things that is helpful for your future.
Professor Shiroma is awesome! I had him for English 103, and My writing has improved so much because of him! His class is definitely challenging, so don't expect it to be easy based on his reviews. It's nothing like English 100. Be prepared to work hard! Although his class is very time consuming, it's worth it in the end.
Don't take his class if you're not hardworking enough. He requires you to read A LOT!! Is A LOT!!
The most helpful teacher there is. I email him about my essay, any questions that I have, responds immediately! Super chill, yet professional. Very personal with each student; he truly cares for all of his students and loves critical thinking. Also discuss the bigger picture of 103, real world ex. Homework every day. Grades hard but helps before.
Professor Shiroma was a great professor. It was sad to see him leave, but his class was like no other. This course is very informative and was very interesting. The format of his class will make you love writing. TAKE THIS PROFESSOR
Great professor! Not an easy class but if you put in the work you will be fine. I hate English but he has made me like it. Lots of reading but INTERESTING reading!. Take him he will help! I am currently sitting on a B and yet I said his class is hard. Only 4 essays not long. You get to write about ANYTHING!
Ryan's a great person and professor, I would definitely recommend taking. For our class, there was a midterm, 4 papers (3-6 pages each), and a group essay. There's quizzes only in the first 5-6 weeks of the semester, but as long as you read the chapter, you'll do well. Just put some effort in and it'll be a rewarding and fun class.
I can not say enough good things about Ryan. The best English teacher I've ever had he taught me a lot and not to mention he's SUPER chill. Yea he makes you earn your grade, but believe me the payoff in the end is worth it. A lot of reading but the group discussions make them interesting. 100% would take him again. Do yourself a favor and take him!
One of the best professors ever! His essays can be tough, but he gives excellent feedback and is really helpful. Group discussions are interesting and he gives interesting topics. I wish there were more professors like him.
Words cannot express how awesome Shiroma is! I have never been more interested, engaged, and inspired in a class! Ryan offers a wide variety of topics to choose from when writing essays. He picks controversial readings making it easy to get interested in the content. Do your homework; show up, and you'll get an A. HE'S THE BEST!!
I HATE English, and Ryan made me love it!! By far the most amazing teacher I have ever had. He's so funny and makes you feel so comfortable in class. The topics are always interesting and never boring. The due dates are always quick after the essay is assigned so you can't procrastinate. Do the work, show up, be involved. I promise you'll love Ryan
If you show up to class, do allow the homework and submit on time it'll be difficult to get a grade lower than a B. He's a great professor whose very interested in his student success. There is weekly homework but it's not too bad, it usually took me about 30-45 mins to complete it, open note quizzes and 4 essays.
Shiroma is an amazing teacher. He is funny and respectable. The class isn't for you if you hate doing work - there's journal assignments every week and multiple essays along with MLA formatting quizzes. His essays require dedication and thought, but you'll end up loving writing essays in this class - at least I did!
Great professor but challenging class. Definitely there to help you out whenever you need it. Make sure to stay on top of the readings and make sure you ask for help if you need it.
Took Shiroma for both English 100 & 103 & honestly, you will learn a lot! He makes lectures interesting and likes to get his students involved. Always smiling and cheery. 5 quizzes all about chapters in book, you can use notes. No midterm. Homework is easy. Tough grader on essays! Go to his office hours & SI! Final is a recap of quizzes.
Great and amazing teacher. He really cares about his students, I had him for English 100 and 103. Super cool teacher to talk too and always available!!! Jesus D.
I had Shiroma for English 100, and he has been my favorite professor at Fullerton College. He tailors his class to discuss and write on topics that are relevant and interesting. Attend SI, all class meetings, and do your homework . He genuinely cares about his students.
He's one of the best ENG professors I've ever had. There'a a lot of writing, however, he doesn't give you anything you can't handle. He's incredibly nice and excited for the class - gives great feedback and makes the classroom feel very comfortable. 1 Portfolio, 3 genre submissions, journal entries, required reading, 1 VERY simple presentation.
Ryan's class was pretty difficult and required a lot of work. Don't let that scare you, though. He is caring and will give you the best feedback. He grades hard, but stays tough throughout the semester. He offers extra credit, and always welcomes you to come to office hours, or email him. He is awesome, and you will learn SO MUCH (engl &life!)
Taking Ryan's class has taught me more about writing than I learned throughout all of high school. He is a tramendous professor, caring person and funny guy. However, he does make you work for your grade! His class isn't for the lazy. He can seem tough sometimes. All the work in his class matters. "Just Do It!" Take him!
Ryan Shiroma is an AMAZING professor! My whole life Ive been a foster child in 15 different cities in California. For that being, I had to attend 10 different high schools and was placed in special day classes for no reason. I never learned anything. Ryan Shiroma cares about his students and gives fantastic lectures. Go to SI if available.
Hes a caring and respected professor. He gives great feedback. It is definitely a lot of work, but its worth it. The readings and discussions you have are so interesting and relate to todays world. He makes the class fun and gives great feedback and will make the time to help you out!Just Do the homework! Overall one of my favorite professors !
Prof. Shiroma is a kick ass teacher! I went into English 99 terrible at essays and reading skills. Take his class if you need hands on help because Shiroma will help you. It is a lot of reading and work but it helps out a lot. Thanks to him Im now scoring As on all my papers. Take him! A lot of extra credit opportunities too.
Professor Shiroma was definitely a good choice for an English professor. Not only did he make the class fun and competitive, but he also connected with his students. He showed them how to succeed in college, the class, and gave them good tips on how to go about it. Thank you Professor for making English a class I will never forget.
Professor Shiroma is by far one if my favorite professors. Hes super cool and funny but his class is not easy. I came into this class pretty sure i can bullsh*t it but NOPE. You will have to work, and work very hard and dedicate time into seeing him outside of class to get a B on essays. He is strict but that's what prepares you for English 100
I would suggest to not take this professor. His lectures are so long and boring. His class is extremely tough if you dont do the homework. Theres about 7 essays each 6-8 pages long that are worth so much of your grade. You have some quizzes that are only about 5-10 questions true/false. He is super strict on being late he will put you on blast.
Shiroma's awesome!I took his 9:30 AM M/W class. You do have to attend class, write papers, and participate. But that's true of any English class. What setsShiroma apart from the others is that he has this awesome way he teaches, its definitely unique. His class is def hard and you have to work but he helps a lot, there is group work but its fun!
BEST PROF OUT THERE! Hes a great teacher, and he makes his class fun, especially for a 7am!! You will have to do the work and participate, but youre in college. Get used to it! If you do the work, you shouldnt have a problem getting an A. The way he runs his class is unlike any class Ive had, I highly recommend him!
One of the most caring professors Ive had at Fullerton College, he understands that sometimes life happens! The class is challenging but his lectures are structured to where you have fun but understand the concepts taught and are able to use them in everyday life. 5 essays, one of them is a group essay. Regular homework and reading ever week.
Take this Professor!!!!!! Professor Shiroma is hands down the best teacher. I have had him for 99 and 103. Yes he is a tough grader, yes he does give out homework, but that's why we are here! He gives great feed back during peer reviews and keeps the class engaged. BEWARE this class isn't for slackers so if that's you i'd suggest high-school )
take the professor. What else can I say? TAKE THE PROFESSOR!!! sorry for yelling at you guys if you are not taking him. Here is the reason. For ethos, I am international student. Pathos: If I can ACE it, you can as well. Logos: 1) his lecture is really clear 2)office hours is really helpful for improving writing 3)up to 500 extra credits
What can i say? Shiroma changed my life. I was his tutor for 3 semesters and his student for 1 semester. Everyday with him was a blessing and i enjoyed it to the max. He is the most understanding person in the world. If you come to class on time, participate, and do your homework, Shiroma will be the greatest teacher in the world. Thank you :)
Shiroma is Amazing Im so thankful for his lessons and awesome personality! By far the best teacher, and friend Ive had! If I had to rate his class it would be to infinity and beyond!
Easily the best English teacher at fullcoll. Essays can get quite hard but just ask him and he will help. Also a fun class, it was harry potter themed, a lot of group work, and he is a really funny person. Open Note quizzes. His class is very social, within a few weeks you will feel really comfortable with him and your classmates. 500 EC Points.
A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning and thats what professor Shiroma has done. Professor Shiroma is one of the greatest teachers youll ever have. THIS CLASS IS NOT MEANT FOR SLACKERS, so dont expect an easy A. This class is 100% effort based so be prepared for your daily $500 lesson. Good Luck!
Three papers for the class, a Non-Fiction, Fiction and Poem. Two out of the three go towards your grade. Everyone gets copies of the other student's papers and the student reads their work and we gave honest and helpful critique. Very helpful if you want to know what peers think of your writing. Also some reading a discussions and journals.
Great and understanding teacher. Make sure youre on top of your assignments and if there is a problem, make sure to communicate. Lessons learned in the beginning of the semester will be important throughout the entire semester.
The nicest professor ever. If you do what you need to do, you will get an A. A lot of extra credit.
Such a great Professor! As a first year student I felt very confident and comfortable in his class, so much that I took him two semesters. As per usual you will only succeed if you put in the effort but this is college folks! He Is willing to help every single person that ask for help and does amazing lectures! 1000% would recommend!!
the mediocre teacher tells the good teacher explains the superior teacher demonstrates the great teacher inspires- William Arthur ward Shiroma is definitely the great teacher and gives you plenty of opportunities to succeed. You just have to put the effort to step out of your comfort zone.
Professor Shiroma has been one of the best professors Ive had at Fullerton College. Hes always there for extra feedback, or if you have questions about any of the assignments. Although a great class, it is also effort based. If you put the effort into your work it will show! I highly HIGHLY recommend him!!!
Amazing teacher! Just take his class hes great!
Prior to this English class I had a horrible English Prof. who really turned me off writing and English classes in general. I am so glad I took this class after because Prof. Shiroma is truly an amazing teacher who genuinely cares for his students and their success which completely revived my love for education and learning. I HIGHLY recommend!
Professor Shiroma is hands down the best English teacher Ive had in a long time. While his course is VERY rigorous and homework heavy, it is also very enjoyable, clear graded, and well structured. He lays his expectations clear from the start and maintains it throughout the semester so there are no surprises to his class. His class is work heavy!
I highly recommend you guys take his classes !!! Professor Shiroma is an amazing teacher at Fullerton College. I took his English100 and 103, and I learned a lot from him. By the way, English is my second language, and I used to be hate writing before taking his classes, but he makes me love it.
Took me a few meetings to get used to his slow-paced classes, but it's a very lighthearted learning environment with him. He builds his curriculum like a video game, in which there's rewards, xp points, and magical spells to help you through the semester. A lot of extra credit opportunities, gives really good feedback. Take him. Can't go wrong.
Overall completely compatible With students in what they are going through with their assignments.
Pretty easy if you put in the work. You only have 3 essays to write and if you meet the criteria for each, its a guaranteed good score. Two discussion post weekly based on the book Rereading America. The book is composed of many different articles and each discussion is on a different article. Also you are split into houses like in Harry Potter.
The readings and work he assigns is reasonable. Don't expect to do nothing, but he really doesn't demand much from you. I took an online class and he was extremely communicative and well adapted for an online learning environment. I'd definitely recommend him for english.
I really liked taking his english class this year. We only had 3 essays throughout the semester. He does help with your essays and shows the mistakes you need fix. He is very caring and likes to do what's best for his students. He responds to your questions quickly. I would take this professor again because how easy to pass if you do your work.
Expect to do a discussion post about twice a week and those will lead to an essay. This was an all online class but he was very quick on responding. He will give clear feedback to make sure you do your best. You will have more than enough time to finish all of your assignments.
One of the best teachers youll ever have during ur time in fcc. Take his class for eng101-103 he will truly make it one of the greatest experiences of ur fcc career .
He gives a lot of essays throughout the semester. Other than that I have no complaints. He is very kind and helps you improve on your skills. If youre ever confused on anything, he is extremely helpful, just ask!
This professor puts SO much time and effort into his modules. I've been out of school for a long time and this class was interesting and a breeze. There is reading and homework twice a week. The "final" is a portfolio to edit your old essays but he gives you 2 weeks (or more?) to get it done! Loved my embedded tutor, was helping during my time.
His courses take a very logical approach in teaching English. He sets deadlines for you to make sure that your work is done in manageable chunks rather which is really helpful. Definitely would recommend his class for English !
This is one of the best professors I have taken. He was close to making me want to change my major from math to English and throughout my whole life, I hated English. The course structure is perfect with all of the readings preparing you for the 3 essays. The largest portion of your grade comes from a revision project where you can fix old essays.
Amazing teacher! I am taking him next semester too because he makes you more confident in your writing. I never felt so good about my essays until this class. We have weekly discussion boards, 3 essays, and a revision portfolio. Shoutout to our tutor Claudia too!! You'll also definitely like his class if you love Harry Potter ;)
The course was tough, but Prof Shiroma made it enjoyable. I did not learn alot in HS and it showed during this class. He was very reachable and approachable so i wasnt scared to ask for help. He is very engaging and fun to be in his class. I would take again in a heartbeat.
He is the kindest professor! He was honestly a breathe of fresh air because he actually cares. I was happy to do the workload due to him being reachable, understanding, and makes the class fun throughout the semester. I would take his course again!
Mr. Shiroma is an amazing professor. He is not only extremely understanding, he also truly cares about his students and for them to be able to succeed. I took him for both Eng 100 and 103 and I am bummed I don't have to take him anymore. I highly recommend him!!! Just do your work on time and ask questions, he will gladly help you!
Do your work, and you'll get the grade you earn. Literally one of the best professors I have taken.
He is really kind and very encouraging. He gives you $500 worth of knowledge/information. (Inside joke) take his class and you will get it. As long as you put in the time and effort you will pass with no problem. I wasn't the best at writing essays but with his help and support, each essay progressively got better and better. I
Amazing teacher! Professor Shiroma gave so many helpful tips on how to write perfect essays. As well as always cheerful and creates mini games that are Harry Potter themed. Homework was super easy as well as the essays he gives out, he gives amazing tips as he calls them $500 of knowledge which make the essays so much easier! Would 100% take again!
Professor Shiroma is a ball of light, he is very outgoing and personable to try and work closely with the class. His grading and assignments are very clear so you shouldn't have difficulty if you stay on top of your work! Many online discussion assignments and 3 essays with a revision portfolio for the final. (BIG Harry Potter fan btw!)
I have never received an A in English class or in any paper until take Prof Shiroma's class. He is by the best teacher I've ever had in my life. When writing essays, he actually gives clear feedback that's understandable in order to improve your writing. I wanna say sooooo much more about him, BUT JUST TAKE HIS CLASS YOU'LL LOVE IT!!!!!
I was nervous for my first time at college and he was the perfect teacher to start with! He's very patient and gives chances to improve to your grade. He is easygoing and friendly. Highly recommend!
Assignments carry more and more weight as the semester progresses and students learn more, which really helps to create an environment where students are encouraged to try, fail, and learn from their mistakes. Professor Shiroma is an incredibly kind soul and he cares deeply about all of his students and their success in the class.
The class was very easy, there is 3 argumentative essays and two in class essays. Every week there is 2-3 discussions. Most of the class did not get good grades on the essays, but somehow I did. If you are not good at writing start early on essays.
Very good at teaching, however can be a bit narcissistic at times in my personal opinion. He is very helpful to those that need his help and explains everything thoroughly with a lot of notice to help prepare the students. Make sure to show up to class every week and attend tutoring if need be.
Professor Shiroma cares deeply about his students; he's a great professor. He gives great feedback on essays. He also greatly prepares you with handouts and advice, along with online and in real life discussions about the readings. Go to tutoring!!!
Professor Shiroma is such a caring and kind professor. He tries his best to make even online classes interesting and enjoyable. You can really tell that he cares for each student and wants to help them learn. He also allows late work if you let him know in advance. Loved taking his class!!
Shiroma is a great teacher. Passionate and wants you to succeed. Attendance is mandatory, or he will drop you. The classes just go over homework discussions or the handouts. Provides a lot of free periods so you can research and write your essay in class, but this makes it hard to want to show up, especially if you work better in a quiet setting.
Professor Shiroma is so caring and tries his best to make learning enjoyable in his class! He responds to messages quickly and will work with you as much as you can. As long as you submit your assignments and do well on essays you will get a good grade.
I can't say enough good things about Prof Shiroma. He's the single best english teacher I have ever had and he really believes in his students and wants all of them to succeed. I have never liked any english classes until i took his class and ended up looking forward to every class meeting. He is just simply the best.
Super tough grades that gives absolutely 0 feedback. Would not recommend taking this course or this teacher due to his harsh grading and lack in communication.
Professor Shiroma is very sweet and super understanding of any and all circumstances. He tries to make the week more fun while being educational. There is a bunch of reading of a free online textbook he does provide. There are also two questions that are due every week. Overall, he is a very amazing professor and I would take him again!
Professor Shiroma is by far one of the most respectful and caring professors I've had at Fullerton College. I've had many great professors, but he stands out at the top. His approach to teaching and his genuine concern for his students make a huge difference. I would highly recommend him to anyone taking English classes
I have always liked writing and it had been quite some time since I sat down and let my pen fly across the pages. Over time, I lost my touch and feel for writing and eventually gave up. However, everything changed when I joined Mr. Shiroma's class. His encouragement and belief in me reopened my world of writing. look no further than Mr. Shiroma.
Super awesome guy and extremely helpful. Don't be worried if you don't think you're good at English, he will help you.
Professor Shiroma is an amazing teacher. Being the first class I ever took, he is very kind, understanding and overall has a great personality. Best first and last TPP cohort teacher. He goes over lesson plans until everyone is on the same page. BEST PROFESSOR EVER!
He is a good teacher that cares about his class.
Professor Shiroma is an amazing teacher, he is caring and it is noticeable how much he cares about each of his students. He's good at giving straightforward directions and his class is not hard If you do the work. Overall he is a funny and understanding person.
Professor Shiroma was simply wonderful. I genuinely looked forward to his class every day. I am good at English, so I didn't need much help. But just because I didn't use the sources provided doesn't mean they weren't there. They were always available. He gave thorough feedback for every essay. (We had 5 in total!) It's a class I'm sad to leave.
Though I didn't pass with an A this was a really easy class. Assignments are very important so don't ignore them. If you want an A work for that A. This class is easy but also remember this is a college level class so don't expect it to be too easy.
Prof.Shiroma is one of the best professors I've had so far, I think it would be almost impossible to top him and his class. He's ALWAYS in a great mood & truly cares for each of his students. If you think you are bad at writing/hate English class, Prof.Shiroma will change your mind. I absolutely loved having him as a professor, & will miss him :,)
Professor Shiroma is an excellent English teacher who genuinely cares about his students. The class is structured with frequent essays, but he provides great feedback to help improve your writing. Unstuck AI was a lifesaver for essay prep. Definitely take this class if you can.
Shiroma is an awesome professor who makes class fun, gives great feedback, and is very clear on the schedule and expectations for this course. The workload was just right, never overwhelming but not boring. Lots of essay prep is given, and he makes comments on every essay explaining the grade and giving helpful tips to improve. Great professor!
professor shiroma was fireeeee. the class is really straight forward, and he's really accommodating for late submissions. he also gives crazy detailed feedback on essays. definitely recommend going to office hours, especially if you're taking him online - helps build a relationship.
Professor Shiroma is probably one of if not the easiest English professor here at FC. He gives really good feedback on essays and is very understanding when it comes to late work or attendance. Homework consists of discussions through canvas and replying to two other people. Essays are fairly easy. Take him for an easy A.
One of the best professors I've ever taken. He really cares for his students. Gives helpful comments and if you want more feedback you can go and directly talk to him. Really the only professor that had me really really wishing in the end that I had participated his class more or at all. Sorry in advance if you are reading this.
His class has great structure, I was never confused about the work we had to do and he explains it all clearly. He gives good feedback and his class can be very fun!
