Feedback

The following are actual quotes from performance reviews:

"I have often marveled at how fast he was able to understand student discipline and conduct training as if he was a disciplinary officer. He is able to incorporate his understanding of our mission into his programming of our database."

"When the phones are ringing off the hook for eval (which happens all the time), Shannon does a great job at managing these calls as well as accomplishing his tasks.”

"He is very organized and knows exactly what needs to be done and when it needs to be done."

"Great at looking for unique solutions to problems, especially with regards to workflow and project management."

"Oftentimes and idea will for improving [sic] our programming or methodology, that I will shortly forget about and a month later in a meeting I will find out that Shannon has implemented a prototype or further investigated the idea."

"Often I will come to him with a problem. I will explain the problem to him and will ask him for some input. He will then come up with a solution so ingenious and so efficient that I am left walking away with my mouth dropped. Again, Shannon is the man."

"Shannon stepped into an on going process and was able to make tremendous strides in accomplishing the goal in a very timely manner, leading me to believe that he is able to prioritize and manage his time and resources in an efficient way."

"Shannon is always suggesting books on methodologies and data structures to improve the quality and structure of my development."

"He seems to have a strong command of his team."

"Shannon always tries to do his best in all of the programs that he does and tries to make them as user-friendly as possible."

"Shannon does a good job leading team meetings. He brings up relevant issues, and seeks everyone's input while still maintaining control of the discussion."

"When Shannon is on the phone or talking with a client face to face, he handles the situation professionally. He breaks down their problem and finds the solution. He is very good at what he does."

"He has a very positive attitude and appears to love doing his work and programming."

"Whether Shannon is in a meeting, on the phone, face to face, or just talking to us, he is very comfortable and has a great attitude. People can see this and they know that this is the person who will fix their troubles."

"Shannon attempts to impress upon me the importance of giving our consumers quality service, even when it's boring."

"Shannon is friendly and talkative. The result of this behavior is an open development environment that encourages communication in what we do."

"One of the comments made by the Student Central Hiring team is that "Shannon explained things well; using a language we could understand, as he worked with us on the student scheduler."

"I think Shannon does a great job of communicating. I have observed that when he conducts training for hall staff or when we discuss issues with SID, whether in person or on the phone. I also think that listening is one of his strongest assets. He can quickly assess what is needed and provide solutions."

"Every time I hear him talking to a client he always sounds pleasant. He is also very welcoming to any call that I need to forward to him."

"Shannon has done an excellent job of working with Campus Dining Services to create and on line scheduling program. His willingness to meet the needs of the team certainly demonstrated his commitment to the mission of the department."

"Working on SID with him forced me to think about the program in a way that I would not have. He educated me on the process and gave me options to think about, with all their implications. This is why I think we now have a very sound program."
