Very nice and helpful

She made spanish enjoyable and she doesn't intimidate the students.

I hate saying teachers are easy, but she actually makes the class manageable, without sacrificing the quality of education. I've gone on to make A's in Spanish classes that were considered much harder. Shannon's a GREAT teacher!

SHE IS A AWESOME TEACHER!! U LEARN A LOT IN HER CLASS BECAUSE SHE MAKES IT FUN AND INTERESTING. SHE DOESN'T LOAD U DOWN WITH MORE WORK THAN U CAN HANDLE, AND SHE IS THE NICEST TEACHER YOU COULD POSSIBLE TAKE FOR SPN. GREAT PERSONALITY AND PROFESSOR!!!

I LOVE SHANNONNNNNNNNN! She's so enthusiastic and willing to help everyone. She's the best person that I could ask to have had. Everyone else complains about how hard their spanish classes are... well i say TAKE SHANNON!

Shannon is the best! She goes out of her way to make class enjoyable and interesting, which keeps you paying attention and makes it easy! If you get the chance, take this woman, you won't regret it!

she made me not fear spanish. great teacher! lots of homework but it does help you to learn. TAKE HER!!!

SHE IS A AWESOME TEACHER! THE BEST SPANISH TEACHER AT MARSHALL!!!!! ALL OF THE OTHER TEACHERS COULD LEARN SOMETHING FROM HER(I.E. HOW TO TEACH).

I enjoyed her class ALOT. She'll talk to you on a one on one basis and help you as much as you need her too. She still speaks to me out of class when I see her on campus. Awesome teacher.

Every time I see her she makes me smile. She was so fun in class and really taught spanish well. Great person, great professor!

shannon butler is the best prof i've ever had!!

HOLA! What a great professor, Spanish is made easy with Shannon. Very happy and outgoing always has a smile on her face and makes learning very enjoyable and easy to understand

Shannon is a fun teacher. She knows what she's talking about and she will try her very best to help you understand. I had a ****ty Spanish teacher in high school, and I'm doin alright in her calss. Take 101 from her, so you'll know what you're doin later

Shannon is wonderful. She's so understanding and will do everything to make you understand. She doesn't get nasty when you don't understand it like others do. She the best. I just hope there are more teachers like her somewhere out there.

Shanon is great at teaching, she tries her best to make you understand everything, but she is really strict on attendance. You have to have a university excused absence to make any work up whatsoever. That is the only bad thing about her.

very helpful in the classroom

Shannon is awesome. I leraned so much in her class. If you show up to class and do your work, its very easy. I would recommend her to everyone!

Nice teacher. Lienient with students. Come to class, do homework, you'll be okay. Easy.

She is entertaining. Her class is easy. Spanish is lame.

If you're going to take ANY spanish class...take Shannon Butler. Her tests aren't hard at all and she actually takes out the time to help students. She is a great teacher- and she's funny.

Very clear and helpful.

Chanon is my favorite teacher ever! Definitely take her if you can. Very funny and not critical if you make a mistake. Tests are easy if you go over the vocab.

Great teacher; explains everything through demonstration and is willing to help whenever wanted. Very sweet person and makes class interesting!

Great teacher! Makes sure you understand before she moves on. I would recommend taking her class to anyone, especially if you don't have a good Spanish background. I hope she's teaching 204 next semester so I can't have her again.

I have no background in Spanish at all. She was very helpful and I hope I will be able to take her again.

I hardly had any background in Spanish but ended up passing the class with a B because of Ms.Butler's help! She is very clear and always trying to make the class understand! She really helped me... Very nice person also!! =)

Wow..this teacher is awesome! I was worried about the class since I had not taken Spanish for 4 years. Got an "A" out of the class!!! Just do your homework and study the words and you'll be fine! She also makes the class very exciting!

Channon is da bomb diggity! Come to class do your work and you will get a good grade.

Channon is awesome. Her class is the best for someone with little to no spanish background. I learned so much and it was actually really fun! just come to class and do your work and you will get an A.

I <3 Chanon!

The best professor at Marshall. She is really helpful and respectful. You can not take a better person for spanish. She is a credit to the University and should be paid more for her efforts

I love Shannon, she is awesome. She is very helpful and easy to understand. She understands that some people struggle in Spanish and she does everything she can to help you.

Very easy class, many chances for extra credit, and you even get to watch a movie in class. Plus she has a sense of humor! Highly reccommended!!!

she was a great teacher! i learned a lot, and i had a lot of fun. i enjoyed going to class. she often lets you out early too! just study, come to class, and do your work and you will do well!

She is a wonderful Spanish professor. You'd be crazy to take anyone other than her. She is always friendly and never says anything negative about anyone. She will gladly explain anything to you as many times as it takes. I would definitely take her again for Spanish.

Shannon helped me with anything I had trouble with. On a first name bais from the first day of class, she is super easy to get along with and loves to make fun of herself. Studied and did the homework. Tests were easy. She wants you to pass. Recommended!

This class was pretty easy and she did explain things well, but she's a horrible procrastinator about grading. I say take her, but don't expect things back quickly.

She is amazingly helpful and understanding. I was very sick for much of the semester and she helped out as much as she could. The class is quick moving and mildly diffcult. Don't miss too many or you could become very confused. She drops an exam and gives you revisions of compositions. Take her.

She was a great teacher and she definitely made the class fun! She was not a hard teacher.

Definately the best spanish teacher I've ever had. She is so ethusiastic and fun in class. She's very understanding and isn't too critical. She gives study guides before every exam and quiz. She does talk in spanish the majority of the time, but it helps you learn so much better. That's what you're there for! Take Prof. Butler!!!!!

She's a pretty good professor. English is her first language, so there's no problem ever understanding her. She managed to fix everything my SPN 101 teacher screwed me up on. Tests aren't too bad, I'd take her again!

Dr. Butler is easy to understand and is very cool. She made cultural spanish interesting, especially with music. I learned a lot in her class and wish she taught all sections of Spanish. Take this teacher if you want to pass spanish with ease.

Dr. Butler is the best! Taking a foreign language at the college level/age is hard to learn but she makes it make sense. She gives simple, straightforward tests with many, many opportunities for extra credit. Always willing to help in any way she can. I would recommend her to anyone who needs to take Spanish!

She is one of the best Spanish professors offered at Marshall. If you struggle with Spanish, like I did, she will work with you outside of class. She doesn't make you feel dumb whatsoever. I highly recommend her. Very fun and helpful.

She's my favorite Spanish teacher at Marshall. She's hilarious, too. It was my last Spanish class ever and it was the best one I've had. She gives chances for bonus points on quizzes and exams, and none of those are too difficult in the first place. But, I actually learned a lot, too.

She is a very nice woman but you won't learn much in her classes because she caters to people who have no real interest in learning the language. She is also very emotional and brings that to class.

Great professor very laid back and helpful. She knows you won't be perfect and as long as you try and don't give up you'll get a good grade. Study the vocabulary for the quizzes because they add up.

I absolutely loved this class. Butler is very kind and understanding. She does call on people in class but never embarrasses anyone. She is very helpful and even wrote me a recommendation for a scholarship. Her tests and quizzes are easy. They usually consist of matching and fill in the blank questions. Definitely take her classes.

Shannon is a really cool woman. The class always ends early. Lots of homework, do it because you never know when she's going to grade it. We had one pop quiz and she warned us, other than that all quiz and test dates are on the syllabus. Very intimidating on the first day, but she babies you. There are study guides to everything. LOVE her.

Shannon is the best SPN prof I've had so far. Not much homework and the translation sections of her exams include a "word bank" to pull from. There's a two page written project and a 3-5 min oral "discussion panel" in Spanish at the end. Not as hard of a class as I had expected. :)

great professor. strict, but not crazy. understands that people learn at different levels. knows how to have fun with the class.she is american so you can actually understand her. i have had all of the spanish professors here, she is by far the best.

I took her for 101 and 102. She works hard to make sure you understand it and goes out of her way to help you. I had to drop 102 because I had a lot going on but she noticed I was falling behind and asked me if everything was ok. She wants you to do good and really invests her time to make it happen!

I had Shannon for 101, 102, and 204. I would've taken her for 203 if it was an option. I did well in her class bc I made notecards and studied them a lot. She REALLY wants you to learn it and she is by far the easiest Spanish teacher at Marshall. Mainly because she's the only one you can understand I really do respect her though and I recommend her

One of the kindest, down-to-earth professors, has her PhD & lots of stories to tell about trips abroad. She cares about whether you learn so go to class! There's never a dull moment & class always lets out early. She cares if you have any problems. Gives "winks" the day before pop quizzes & is always very helpful if you don't understand something

So much vocabulary your head will explode. Lots of class participation. Lots of quizzes, way more than mentioned in the syllabus.

Shannon was one of my favorite professors thus far, definitely would take a class from her again. She is interested in your success in the class and is easy to understand.

This class was great. Shannon is always there to help students. Not only does she make it easy to understand but you really learn. Class flies by because she constantly has you engaged. There are a lot of quizzes, but they keep you on track and if you come to class regularly you'll be fine. Genuinely wants you to do well and cracks funny jokes.

Make sure you go to class, it is essential to passing. She is an amazing professor, I took her for SPN 101 and made sure to get her for 102. She truly wants you to pass and if you study and participate and ask questions she will make sure you pass. Keeps you engaged, super nice! Also lots of memorization and textbook work but it helps!

TAKE HER CLASSES!! Great prof. easy to work with and is very helpful and super nice. You'll have to work, but it's foreign language, what'd expect? The book for this class is awful, (heads up) but the prof, barely uses it and the school chooses the book. (probably cuz they made it...)

Shannon, as she prefers to be called, is amazing. In 204, she mainly focuses on the cultural side of Spanish, so grammar is kept to a minimum. She loves Latinoa culture and it shows in her lectures. Beware, her lectures are for the most part in Spanish. She'll help you out though.

The class is mostly about culture but she makes it fun and interesting. Shannon speaks in Spanish the entire class though which can make it somewhat confusing. But she is always there to help if you need it.

I LOVE Shannon. She is honestly such a cool person and such a great professor. She was very helpful when personal crises came up for me which hindered my ability to make deadlines, etc. I recommend Shannon for any Spanish class. I just want to be her friend if I'm being honest. I ended up with a C in the class, but I woulda failed w/o Shannon.

Shannon is a very personable professor who makes learning a foreign language not so terrible. She is very clear in what she teaches and what is expected from you on the quizzes and exams. She obviously cares about her students and the subject. I would take Shannon for every single Spanish class if it were an option.

Shannon is a great spanish teacher and really does a nice job at transitioning you from normal english concepts and applying it to spanish concepts

Shannon is a gem. This class will not challenge you greatly, but it provides students with a solid foundation in the language. I feel much more confident in my ability to converse in Spanish as a result of this class. She is a great choice. I just wish the class size was smaller, but that is outside of her control.

Try your hardest and you will pass. It may not be an A, but you will pass. Do your homework, participate and study the vocab. If your are struggling she will help. She is a VERY nice lady.

This lady is so kind and understanding. I have to take four solid semesters of a foreign language and I'm gonna try to take her all the way through. Lots of vocab tho. Shes speaks spanish most of the class and we all have no idea what shes sayin.

Great and caring professor. Study the vocab HEAVILY & you can do fine. She likes participation. Gives homework frequently but it's critical for tests/quizzes (which some are take-home)! Textbook was only used to extra vocab.

Shannon is amazing! She expects a lot from her students but at the same time she is generally easy and wants to see her us succeed. Shes an easy grader and if you study the vocabulary often you will be fine

She is an amazing and hilarious professor and makes class very entertaining. She engages with each student and works well everyone. She spends plenty of time on each topic and helps students outside of class if they need it.

This is the 2nd time I've had Shannon. She demands participation, but never makes anyone feel stupid. She almost encourages mistakes to help students learn. I was terrified that I had to take foreign language classes, but Shannon has made it fun and I have learned way more than I expected. I have only had her for virtual classes.

I absolutely loved learning from Shannon. She provides lots of helpful homework in class to assist you in learning the vocab and begin understanding the conjugations. I was terrified because I didn't do well in Spanish in high school but once I got used to the test format and how to study I began learning and doing a lot better. I learned a lot!!

Shannon was by far my favorite professor I had this semester. She's very inspirational and is a very understanding person. As long as you show up to class and participate a little bit even if your pronunciation is wack you're most likely going to do well.

This was her Latin American Culture & Civilization. This class is taught completely in Spanish except when she clarifies things in English. Her lectures were all over the place and unless your Spanish listening comprehension is really good, you'll be lost. I really enjoyed this class but the tests/exams are weird.

Literally the best spanish prof there is! She is so nice and caring, I cannot stress enough how great of a professor she is. I actually learned, and she made it enjoyable. She is going on sabbatical for Fall 2022, and she will be greatly missed. I cannot wait to take her again, her class was my favorite this entire semester.

Shannon is the best. I don't know who said she was rude, but she is seriously one of the nicest and funniest professors I have had! She is very knowledgeable and if she does not know the answer to something, she will admit it and help us find it! Her class is easy and fun if you study and come to class!

Participation in class is mandatory; however, Shannon made this comfortable and even fun because everyone was new to Spanish. She was very funny and understanding. She has been my favorite professor and I highly recommend. There was extra credit on every quiz/test. Go to class and do the homework and you have nothing to worry about!

Shannon is by far my fav professor. Her teaching style is clear and laid back,feels more like a study sesh with friends than a class. Makes lots of jokes/can laugh at herself, and made learning a very comfortable experience. There is extra credit on every exam, and homework helps boost your grade a ton as it is graded on completion, not accuracy

Shannon is Marshall's best Spanish professor. She explains why you are doing things a certain way instead of just saying thats how it is. She's very understanding and laid back. You do have to participate a lot in class but she does not put you down for being wrong. Quizes can be a bit difficult but you have the opinion for extra credit on them.

Shannon is an amazing professor. I wish more educators would adopt her ways of teaching and grading! She is a kind woman with a love for teaching and it shows in her class. Pretty homework heavy, but homework is graded on completion. Very willing to work with students to help them succeed!

Amazing lady! I had such a fun time in each one of her classes. Will not let you fail.

Shannon really wants her students to learn and is active in class with them. This is a straight lecture, no PowerPoint, class. That being said, this is also a participation-heavy class as well. You will get cold-called to answer homework questions so make sure you do the work.

She is so funny and caring! I really love her and her personality. There is a lot of culture/history, so be ready to memorize for the final which was cumulative. Other than that, the class is great; I learned a lot!

Lectures were engaging and informational. She was so nice and funny! Participation definitely mattered, as it stated in the syllabus. She was the best professor to start my journey to obtaining a minor in Spanish.

I've never witnessed a professor as caring as Shannon. She is extremely passionate about the material and helping students learn. I was never embarrassed about making a mistake in her class due to how kind and personable she was. I would take Shannon for every course if I could.

Shannon is an awesome professor who makes learning Spanish fun and engaging. She's understanding and willing to help, even offering extra credit. I'd recommend using unstuck AI alongside the textbook for a great learning experience.

She is very old-fashioned. Make sure to take notes, keep every paper thats how you study for tests. Very nice too and understanding. She cares about people as a whole.

Love Shannon! She is great. Little scattered, but super fun. She wants you to succeed, she's pretty real, and she helps you to get a good grade in the course.

Had her for SPN240** (wasn't an option on this website) Shannon is great! Always fun, wants you to succeed, clear grading criteria, but she can be scattered and a littleee disorganized sometimes. Still wouldn't take anyone else. She gave lots of homwwork, which I thought could have just been done in class, but it wasn't too big of a deal. Goated.
