Undergraduate Student

“Shane is a lovely instructor who wants all his students to succeed in his class. He is more than helpful when explaining expectations from the class on assignments. He provides constructive feedback that can be used to better ourselves when the next assignment becomes due. This course [SWP435: Indigenous Approaches to Social Work Practice) is a perfect way to integrate other knowledges into the social work profession and prepares students to work in the field with clients who identify as Indigenous”
