Awful
Professor Sheehan was certainly the Bottom of the barrel. This lady could not teach a child how to tie their shoe laces. I never received any feedback on the 85,417,296 papers I had to write, yet I didn't get 100's, so obviously some things were wrong. Sheehan RARELY communicated with the class. She wanted us to take out rare books but not if she was teaching from them. In the final analysis, I learned jack, as all we did were to write papers and internet posts. I still can not believe that I spent 2 grand on this course. I had to drive 150 miles each way to get to class and, if I was late, she would not let me come into class. A real bummer. She would not share her lecture notes with the class, so if you were late or missed a class, then you were out in the cold.
