professor groff is a trip! she is a great, entertaining, funny teacher! she has a lot for you to do in her class but she helps you the entire way, i recomend her to anyone who needs to take education classes.
Prof. Groff ROCKS! Her class is very entertaining and fun. Her class can be a challange, but she is there to help you every step along the way. I have never learned so much in one class. I highly recommend taking one of her classes.
Prof Groff is very funny and entertaining. The class should be easy, however she assigns entirely too much busy work. Probably because she assigns sparatically and off the top of her head, not realizing exactly how much she has already assigned.
Awsome teacher! It's very obviouse that she loves her profession and loves teaching it to others. Her classes fill up quick, so get in if you can.
What a waste! She thinks she is a great teacher but I think she isn't. I felt that most of my time in this class was wasted.
Shannon Groff is an okay teacher.She's really into herself and sometimes forget that we're her class not the mirror. She grades most on class participation(meaning class discussions).She can be disrimmative at times.
Groff has done nothing to prepare me for UNF. My instructors are talking about things I should have dicussed in her class but didn't. She needs to stop concentrating on her new **** and start planning her classes instead of having students do it for her.
Prof. Groff is a very interesting and caring instructor. I found her to be very insightful and concerned about her students. Keep up the good work Prof. Groff.
I have 2 classes with her and so far she is the only professor that I am actually excited about getting out of bed and going to class. She is bold and outspoken, but she makes you think for yourself and opens your mind to new ideas! Keep it up Groff!
I love Prof. Groff. She's a great teacher. She has gotten me very excited about the career I have chosen. I hope that when I become a teacher that I have many of the same qualities as her. Those who have dogged her--must be jealous of her.
It has been very rewarding in this class. I am so amazed at how much Prof. Groff knows to be so young. I am so impressed with her. I have a daughter her age and I would be so proud to have a daughter like her. She is Great!! The class is awesome.
Prof Groff is outstanding! Those who have negative comments about her are obviously going to make lousy teachers! She is what I hope to become, and will WITH HER HELP! :)
Prof Groff does not teach what is required of the class. If you take this teacher be sure to take the class in your own hands and read the book, you will need to know the information and she will not teach it. Her class is a waist of money and time!!!!!!!
Prof. Groff is GREAT! I took her class online, and it is fairly easy! She gives you alot of assignments and class discussions about situations that could be helpful to teaching in the future. She cares and is very helpful!I recommend that you TAKE HER!
Prof.groff is a wonderful teacher. she teaches things that you could never read in a book, real life situations. yes u will have to read the book by yourself but learning is more than bookwork. im so enthusiastic about my teaching future thanks to her!
DO NOT TAKE GROFF. SHE IS AN AWFUL TEACHER FOR INTRO TO EDUCATION AND NEEDS TO GO BACK TO HIGH SCHOOL. DO NOT TAKE HER!!!! YOU WILL REGRET IT!
She stinks
I thought she smelled nice.
I dont know what all these other people are thinking, but Prof. Groff is GREAT! Take her class. She is helpful and very clear about what she expects. If you do the assignments you will definately pull an easy A.
clearly chooses favorites. does not teach and CANNOT stay on topic. gives assignments and then never mentions them again. It is obvious she is more interested in being the 'cool' teacher than anything else.
prof groff is extremely nice and extremely partial to particular students. she is a great instructor if you are on HER list, otherwise you are screwed.
She is very partial to the students she likes best. She is slow responding to e-mails and she hardly ever follows the syllabus. She gives a lot of busy work outside of class because the class time is spent in discussions but if you do all the work it is an easy A and she knows her subject material.
Does not stay on track of what she needs to be teaching. Always hunting for new things to teach off the top of her head. Looses focus all the time.
Outstanding professor if your willing to get up of your a**! Her class is very fun and realistic unlike other classes at FCCJ. Do the work that she tells you; sometimes she can be too advanced but email or just pull her aside, so she can explain it to you. She is very smart and knows her subject!
I took Ms. Groff when she taught at Englewood.... to envoled with her personal issues. Loss focus all the time..... however seem sweet and look a whole lot better than she did in the 90's.
Prof Groff has a strange sense of humor and cannot always stay on task. She likes to talk about herself and dig into people's personal lives, but then does not care what happens. She does know her subject material though, and on occasion can be fun. Work hard in there and get an A.
This professor is a truly genuine person. She cares about her students feelings, which is very important in college, by going out her way to make them happy. Also, her classes revolve around getting off your butt, so if your a lazy person-- do not take this class!!!
Never get anything done
Wow! Great person, totally helpful, outgoing, passionate and she can even breakdance (LOL). Shes a DOPE teacher.
koolest teacher ever!!!! she does go off track every now and then, but thats whats fun about her and i never fell asleep in there (which is very suprising.) She does give alot of work, but its group and not that hard at all....take her!!!
Does not stay on task, too many group projects
Professor Groff is an awesome teacher. I really loved her class. She is quite the looker also.
Prof. Groff is the best teacher I ever had. She will do anything to help her students succeed as long as they show a desire to do so. All the people who put frowny faces probably did not show up to class. If you show up and do your work you'll be straight.
Would have liked it more if I understood her and learned from her.
whoever posted on 5/5 is wrong. I never missed a class, did all my work(and her bs busy work), participated in class, and made an A....doesn't chng the fact she favors younger students, the type that think she's "HOT" and "COOL"
I am not sure why all the negative comments, but I had her and she does not discriminate. That is one of the things I liked about her. She was fun and energetic. I would definitely take her again. She does get off task, but that is the nature of diverse populations. I liked her. She was very helpful.
average class. Prof. was kind of boring. Felt like I was on my own. Picks favorites.
GREAT TEACHER!!!!!
Great Teacher. I enjoyed this class.
She is a great teacher because she is passionate about what she does. She is honest and does not hold back...she says what is on her mind. Enjoyed her class because she participated with her students and she was intersesting.
Was easy enough to tolerate online, but not in an everyday class environment.
Great teacher! Great experience!
Went to class everyday just to look at her!! and by showing up doign the work got an A, easy work easy on the eyes take the class!!!
She is a great teacher! I learned so much from her. The only downfall is she talks a little fast but just tell her and she will go back. I would take her again!
she was very nice and very energetic, however, nothing we talked about in class was ever on the tests, I learned nothing from her about being a teacher
Had her a few semesters ago. Still miss the class good teacher. Very easy to pay attention to her. Never wanted to miss that class!!!
Shes so hot bring a fire extinguisher! Works with you a little slow on grading, but use that to your advantage, stay ahead of her and she will know you care about the class, get your A! She likes intelligent opposition, and bring cookies and candy, Orange starburst! Cant go wrong with this one!
she was an amazing teacher willing to work with you to make sure that you get the best grade possible in here class. She is very caring and compassionate about her job. She is very in tune to your individual needs in her class and knows what you like and dislike.
Groff is a great teacher. One of the only classes I didnt want to skip. She keeps class interesting. I would recommend it to anyone.
Ms. Shannon is crazy off her rocker and fun. She is very understanding and helful. She listen to you and cares for her students.I am planning on taking her again this fall. I recommend her to anyone.
I took this class online and it was a Very EASY class. Tests were time consuming but not difficult. Do your work and you will get an "A". On a few of my assignments she took a LOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNG time to grade them. She will answer your questions within 24 hours.
Prof Groff was more than caring, showed a personal interest in students, was helpful and available. Her emails were returned in more than adequate time (generally less than 24 hrs). The assignments were not difficult if you have ANY experience with computers. exams were long but not terribly difficult, almost exclusively from the text. RECOMMEND!
Online Course! EASY!!! You can do ALL the work ahead of time except the group project find three friends at the begining of class and begin working on it early! Groff will answer ANY questions you have.If you are Computer literate you will do well! Great, Fun, Energetic teacher.
Great teacher! Do the work and you will get an A.
Groff is funny but she picks favorites and can be very forgetful, get everything in writing. Projects are fun. You do a lot on blackboard, discussions and tests. Was an okay teacher but is more interested in herself and personal life then teaching some days.
What a waste of freaking time. She is an idoit. Why do they even let her teach is beyond me???? Seems is although they'll put any pretty face infront of a class.
ok so i took this class because i am a future teacher and LOVE teaching, but shannon groff made me realize exactly what i don't want to be. preach about sensetivity but then make "certain" students feel like less than nothign with her comments.. if u want someone who i going to rave about how cool she is is or how other professors are jealous.
If you get easily affended, don't take her class. she says what's on her mind, even if it isn't very nice. she said something horrible about me which made me cry in class, and embarrassed me in front of the whole entire class. do not take this class!
Prof Groff is amazing. I have never seen any1 more passionate about their job The class is very open(being open is kind of the point, learnin to keep ur emotions off your shoulders and taking the blinders off is important)
She's awesome, inspirational, and passionate about education. I look forward to being in her class and will be taking more of her classes in the future.
I loved Groff. She was so helpful and really cared about her students. She was a little disorganized - but I've never had a professor that completely followed the syllabus! LOVED IT!!
Groff was a great teacher. She really loves teaching and wants her students to be passionate about it as well. I took her for 3 classes, and would recommend her to anyone who wants to be a teacher. She was very helpful if you had any questions. She was also far with group grading as well. She wants everyone to do their fair share.
She's awesome!
She is so amazing!! Take her for any class possible. I had her for an online class she helped us every step of the way.
HORRIBLE TEACHER! Very self absorbed. She spends the whole class hitting on other guys in the class. She doesn't teach. All she does is tell personal stories. She is an idiot and likes to play dumb. Don't take this class! Absolutely horrible!
I took Groff for two classes this term and really enjoyed both. She is open to new ideas and opinions. We even had one student who corrected her in something she said and she was thankful to have a new understanding--rare in a professor. Great class. Really hit home on key aspect of teaching as a career.
I have now been teaching for two years. I took Prof. Groff my first year at FCCJ. She humiliated me in front of the class and made me cry. I will never forget that and still think about it. Lukily she taught me how not to treat students.
No Comments
Wow, this professor is terrible. Can't stay on track, very forgetful, get everything in writing. Take Wilson at Deerwood soooo much better!
Mrs. Groff was very helpful. I learned a lot out of her class. I would highly recommend her for your education classes.
I took Prof. Groff for both EDF1005 and EDG2701 this semester. Easy class and informative at times but class got way off track most of the time. No lectures, just an open forum style session each class. If you want an easy A, take her class, but if you prefer more structure and really want to learn about being a teacher, take a different professo
Horrible teacher. You will not learn anything in this class! She doesn't lecture, just spends the whole class talking about random things, not related to education. If you want to learn something, take someone else.
Took her for two classes. She has lots of teaching experience and shares real stories. We role play and it taught me a lot about how to handle difficult situations. I am teaching now and see just how useful her classes were.
Took her online class, if you can work independently go ahead and take her...LOTS of work and group projects...NEVER responds to emails...I think I am still waiting for responses and the class is over! If you work hard you will get an A, not hard just a lot of busy work for online course!
I have a degree in Computer Science, am a teacher, use PowerPoint for class lectures, have a course web site, am Cisco certified, am lead teacher for Information Technology at my school, did all work, participated in all discussions. And somehow, I only received a B in Educational Technology?! Something's wrong with this picture. What a joke.
I took this class as an accelerated course in 4 weeks. Prof. Groff was extremely helpful. She answered all my questions quickly and even offered her cell number for emergencies.
I took this professor 3 years ago and just started teaching this last year. I thought she was good, but when I started teaching I realized how much I learned from her. The role playing and hot topics in this class are worth doing. Groff really knows what she's talking bout and she really cares about her students and education.
I took Professor Groff online for this course. I had several obstacles occur during the term and she went way out of her way to assist me. I have never had a teacher care as much as she did. I learned more than just the curriculum; I learned what teaching is really about. Anyone wanting to be a teacher should take a class with her.
I took Groffs 4week online course and it was by far the easiest online class ever. There were weekly assignments, discussion boards, and exams but they were not at all time consuming. She posted grades fast and was quick to reply to emails. Take her!
I took this class on an 8 week course, she is VERY helpful and assignments are easy to do. Easy A class. I loved this class. Mrs. Groff was always helpful and answered any concerns I had. GREAT TEACHER!!!!
Professor Groff is one of my favorite professors so far she is extremely nice and very helpful. She replys to emails right away and is very clear on what she wants done. Show up to class and do the work it is a easy fun grade.
I took Professor Groff's online class and I loved it. I am self motivated and I enjoyed moving ahead at my own pace. Your class will consist of One group Project, Weekly discussions and Chapter test which of course are open book as it is online. I would highly reccomend her!
Professor Groff is a great teacher! She cares so much about educationing new teachers. The worst part was the four tests online that were throughout 4 chapters and not in order.
Professor Groff cares about her students. She is very knowledgeable.
Great educator. Only has 4 test but they are kind of long. (70 questions over 3 or 4 chapters)Great with extra credit and is willing to help. Responds to emails quickly. Great curriculum.
Online class super easy.A lot of reading but if you just do the work you will make an A. Also you can work ahead. Group project at the end which I didn't like to have to wait on others but did great. Take this teacher!!
I took her class over the Summer term. Excellent Professor. Very helpful. Asset to the college. Very willing to work with you if you ever need extra time on assignments. Fair grader. Encourages all students. Hard working. Read the textbook. Be active in the discussion board. Study and take notes, you will be fine.
I took her class over the Summer term. One of the best Professors I have ever attended classes with. She is another reason I want to become an educator. I want to be inspiring like her. Take her class, you will enjoy it and learn a lot. FSCJ is smart to have added her to their team.
I love this professor! She is very quick in answering e-mail and is always willing to help! She inspires you to become a teacher! I would highly recommend her!!!
I loved this professor, I have taken her a couple of times. She is very nice and you can fix your assignments for a higher grade. Easy A.
Awesome Professor. Tests are not timed. 3 major assignments, 8 discussion boards, i group assignment. I would take her again in a heartbeat.
Professor Groff is an amazing professor. She not only teaches you the needed information, but she also gives you much needed advice regarding classroom management tips, dealing with parents, handling your finances and much more. She makes the class entertaining. I really look up to her and hope to create the same type of atmosphere in my classroom.
Prof Groff is the best! Took a hybrid course with her. No lecture. There was a lot of work outside the class, but it wasn't difficult. I received an A :)
Her syllabus was incomprehensible, half of it came out last semester and it showed. She never responded to my email, Also on her online tests, the computer will mark your answers wrong if you miss capitalization and it never gets adjusted. She's kind of a joke.
I took this class online and missed a week in the beginning, she helped me catch back up. The class was a little difficult considering the information I DID find was through research online instead of being able to use the book. The tests were ridiculous, I hate them and they were the reason I struggled. All other assignments were clear and easy.
No text book at all. only a few assignments which you have weeks to complete. She is really nice and really pretty and we actually did learn.
Never have a class that I felt so lost. The Assignment were easy but the group assignment good luck understanding that I would not take her again.Test were hard!
Professor Groff was AWESOME!!! I wish she taught other courses. I would recommend her to anyone taking a college intro course. Coursework was extremely easy. Very simple homework assignments and most projects are group assignments that can be completed with an hour. She knows her stuff and makes the classroom buzz. Very easy on the eyes too ;)
She is an amazing teacher. Take her you will not regret it. She teaches this class in such a way that will challenge how you think.
She was a very good teacher! Graded and answered questions very quickly, and didn't grade hard at all as long as you followed the guidelines. Two MC tests, 5 disc. posts, variety of personal projects and one group project. All hands on and helpful. Very enjoyable and fun, I highly recommend!
GREAT teacher! EASY course. I finished all the first four weeks in one week. The only thing you truly need the textbook for are the midterm (50 pts) and the final (50 pts). The rest are fun educational technology items like set up a powerpoint.
Super easy A. Very helpful with all assignments and grades mostly on completion. Class was a breeze and professor Groff is super nice. Definitely recommend taking her!
No book was required and she was very helpful and passionate about technology being used in classrooms. I took her 8 week course which wasn't too bad, just make sure you're respectful and do the work and you'll pass with an A.
I took the online class and she was awesome. Very helpful and you can tell she loves her job. I would take her classes again. Responds fast to email or posts.
Professor is clear and concise. But, make sure you ask questions if you have them. She's a great professor, very high energy and leads the class well.
Great professor, easy course. Just make sure you read your syllabus to receive full credit for DB posts. I almost failed my discussion boards but I still managed to pass with an A.
Professor Groff is a phenomenal professor. She is truly an inspiration! She tells it like it is and isn't afraid to beat around the bush. I love how blunt she is! Her class discussions are interesting and she likes group discussions. Online work is not hard at all-look up answers online! I would definitely take her again!
Stay on top of the discussions, assignments and quizzes. Professor is very helpful and responds to questions immediately.
I took the 8 week course, and there were 2-3 assignments due a week. She assigns weird due dates in the middle of the week, so watch out. The group project was a killer, especially because she caused some very difficult misunderstandings between group members, so don't rely on what she tells you they have said because chances are they didn't say it
I took Professor Groff during the summer. She graded assignments immediately and answered all my questions quickly. The group project was difficult but only because of group members. Every question we asked she got back to us with answers. I learned a lot, and plan on using the assignments and group project in my own classroom.
she is a great teacher. You might feel a little bit confused in the beginning of the class, but you will see how easy the class is once you start doing your work. Be ready to do project that is pretty easy. Be ready to use technology. I had fun in this class. It was an online class by the way. I did podcast, lessons, teacher webpage, web Quest,
Class will be rough at the beginning, but slowed down half way through. If you don't miss any of her class you are not required to take final exam. Group discussion are mandatory. Great role model.
Amazing professor one of my best so far. Shes funny and gives you a lot to think about. Would recommend for anymore. She has a sense of humor and sarcastic that you get used to just don't take things personally.
Great Professor. Be sure to complete all assignment and participate in class and you will pass
Prof. "G," is so full of energy and she has a way with people which will surprise you! I am so glad to have had the privilege of being one of her students and in some of my darkest moments, she was there for me when there was no one else. She is one of the BEST teacher's I have ever had, and I will always respect and remember her! She is the BOMB!!
Great teacher. She may seem a little difficult at first, but in the end I should've ended up with a very high B and I received an A. If you take the online class, there is a group project. It's quite easy even though it sounds more difficult because its online. Group members just chat via email and are assigned equal work.
Professor Groff easily became one of my favorite professors by far. Loved her energy and there was always something to take away from her lectures. The workload may seem overwhelming when she first gives you the syllabus, but I found the class an easy A (as long as you completed the assignments). The group projects were fun and easy as well.
I took her online class which I got an average grade, B-. When you finish to take quizzes or tests, most of them will not give you right answer that I do want to know which is correct answer. If I know the right answer from the tests or quizzes, I will learn new things you never heard of it. No credits. She is very good at response or feedback.
Took this class as online course. Clear syllabus, calendar for work, and straight forward learning. You do have to schedule for two proctored exams (which means you'll physically go to an FSCJ campus to take exam). Just do the assigned work and write well, and you'll pass.
Took this class online. Straight forward assignments and an easy to ready syllabus. If you have questions, she will answer them ASAP. Class also has two proctored exams( which means you'll go to a campus to take a test). In all, be to ready write! She gives great feedback to help improve writing. Just do work on time and you'll pass.
She's an awesome teacher. Took her twice, will be taken her again in the spring. You have lots of homework, but if you pay attention in class, the hw is a breeze. Classwork there are discussions and sometimes videos depends on the day. Overall, love her!!!!!!
Amazing! Best class I've taken in my 4 years! If you do your work you will get a good grade!
I wish I could have taken this class in person, not only for the benefit of having access to the professor, but also the fact that she is hot.
She gave quick responses to my questions and concerns via email. I just wish she gave me a better grade, since I tried my best at writing. Due to the fact that I am not a skilled writer I was required to take this class; therefore, the harsh grading I received was kind of annoying. I did all my work and only received a B plus almost minus.
This was a good class to take in preparation of obtaining an Early Education Degree. There were lots of projects, but they were all 'fun', like creating a class website, creating lessons, etc. The only thing I did not enjoy as much was the group project. It was hard to get with everyone, since I took this online. Overall, great class.
This class was only 7 weeks long and met on Tuesdays only. At first I was dreading the class because it was a 2 and a half hour class, but after the first week, it wasn't. Mostly got out of class early, and discussions every week. Only have to take the final if you miss one class. One group project at the end, but its very fun. Love the teacher.
I feel like she didn't care when you went to her if you were having problems. She seemed like she cared but didn't and gave a bad grade and no feedback to why. I would never take her class again.
I have taken Professor Groff for two different courses now and I would recommend anyone to take her as well if they have the opportunity! This course was all online but there was 120 hours of childcare observation and Professor Gross was extremely encouraging and helpful. She responds very quickly to emails. You will learn a lot in this course.
This professor gave good feedback and was always there to answer any questions. I did have trouble when it came to the group project though, since it was an online course. However, she did allow me to complete it by myself.
LOVE THIS PROFESSOR ! Shes so caring . Class is so interesting . Dont skip a class and youll be exempt from final . Each module has a quiz and discussion and sometimes and extra activity , do the work youll be fine . She sends emails to remind you :))
Professor Groff is great! Her class is very interesting. Don't expect to just listen to lectures. She puts people in small groups every week. Sometimes it's a great experience and sometimes it's a little frustrating.
Rude during a conversation we were having. She doesn't care what you have to say she will never be wrong. will NOT take her again!
Extremely accelerated even though it is only available as a 7 week course. Assigns multiple things in a week w/ little explanation on how to complete or examples, book is only important for midterm and final, grades harshly. I will say she is reachable, got back to me in a reasonable time frame. Very stressful, would not recommend.
I took this class at a accelerated rate in just 7 weeks. It is a lot of work but very informative for students looking to become teachers. Professor Shannon explains what is expected at the beginning of the class and is open to working with students that need anything. There is a group project that is required to pass the class. Get the e-book!!
Dr. Groff is the best professor I've ever had. She was really nice, pretty relaxed and a fair grader. I learned a lot and I personally found her work incredibly easy, but also really fun! I will say I loved the group project, but hated the people I was with, but that's nothing on her. So, be weary about your group mates. But overall 10/10.
