If you honestly want to fail class take Shibles for sure. He has no simpathy what so ever. Lack of enthusiasm, and very boring..seriously makes you fall asleep in class. His directions on how to do something are super unclear. He says to do something in one way..but once it comes to writing a paper, he just puts in different rules out of the blue. Has the worst tests ever. His tests and final exam are 200+ true and false questions ONLY.. i mean come on now be a little bit more realistic. Who seriously does that? I think his only intention is to basically fail anyone that takes his class because i know about 95% of my class failed..now there def has got to be something wrong with that. And someone really needs to tell him to change his clothes once in a while. Listen to me..and AVOID HIM!
Basically agree with him or fail. He uses his power to push students around. My guess is he wasn't allowed to voice his opinion among his peers so he has taken to "preaching" to students who are forced to listen to him. He obviously has a chip on his shoulder about certain aspects of society (ie. Religion, government, and the Military...ect.) His tests are true/false, and basically you are being tested on his opinion. He is bordering on discrimination towards certain groups of students.
Positive:
Is challenging
Negative:
Is a bad professor
Expectations are unclear or lofty
Overly difficult tests or assignments
Professor does not relate to students
I got an A in the class. Shibles is crazy, and you will never win! Just get used to it! I think every person should take a class with this guy. He is a genius, and he is a complete nut-job. He knows it, and he loves screwing with everyone's mind. You will either hate him, or love him, and really no where inbetween. If you are religious, unless you can defend your beliefs to a strong degree, you will probably hate him.
Positive:
I would recommend this professor
Is challenging
Is creative
Brings discussion into the classroom
Shows a great knowledge of subject matter
Involves students in every lecture
Best professors I've ever had!
Negative:
Confusing or hard to understand
Makes class too challenging
Indeed he uses circular ligic and jumps around main points without ever clearly stating them. A good class to sleep through, you are better off reading the books than trying to follow his logic. Clarity is seriously lacking and little is done to help the students even when asked. Dont bother answering, you will ALWAYS be WRONG. Good luck.

This was by FAR one of the WORST classes I have EVER taken! If you are ready to suck up and show some cleavage chances are YOU will get an A. However if you aren't then you are pretty much screwed. I worked my butt off, got A/B's on exams most people got 0's on and I STILL got a C! Someone who sat near me didn't hand in a ton of papers, got 0's and ended up with the same grade as me. When I tried to talk to him about it he threatened to give me an F...extremely unfair and worthless. I didn't learn a single thing. HORRIBLE professor! AVOID!!!!!
