Review #1 / Course: SOCL 2001 / Instructor: SHRUM JR W
Shrum's easy. His tests aren't hard, they just have some BS questions on it. He grades on a bell curve, so it's about doing better than everyone else. Sometimes interesting, mostly not. Gives bonus points. Heard wilkinson was better.

Review #2 / Course: SOCL 2001 / Instructor: SHRUM JR W
The night class was veryyy long & boring. You'll be there the full three hours. He always gives bonus point opportunities & you only have three exams with no cumalative final. His tests are 50 points graded by a "standard curve." Take him.

Review #3 / Course: SOCL 2001 / Instructor: SHRUM JR W
Not an easy A, but a good teacher. He gave me a B when I was supposed to get a C. DONT wait until the night before to study. It's way too much info to memorize. Tests reflect notes and 5 chapters for each test. Gives easy extra credits in class!

Review #4 / Course: SOCL 2001 / Instructor: SHRUM JR W
Shrum went off on so many tangents in this class that it was hysterical. Mulitiple choice tests, straightforward. Never went to the class and easily passed.

Review #5 / Course: SOCL 2001 / Instructor: SHRUM JR W
Shrum was really hard to follow. He rambles on and on about irrelevant things in his lecture and doesn't make the tests from the lectures. he seems to like to hear himself talk/write- the syllabus is 15 pages long!

Review #6 / Course: SOCL 4481 / Instructor: SHRUM JR W
Boring! He would get stuck on one subject that didn't pretain to the class and he weighted his grades according to daily quizes and a final paper in which was unclear even when you asked if you were doing it right.

Review #7 / Course: SOCL 2001 / Instructor: SHRUM JR W
The class could be a good one, but I do not know because I Had shrum! He was a horrible prof., class is optional, but you have to get his notes and read the book to pass his tests. He curves, but you should not take shrum if you have a choice

Review #9 / Course: SOCL 2001 / Instructor: SHRUM JR W
This class was not hard. He had a tendency to harp on topics way too long, and I found his lectures were somewhat his random thoughts. He did have some interesting stuff to say, though, and was nice. One more thing: his GA Rick was an idiot.
