Dr. Steven Shively is a man who loves English almost as much as he loves Willa Cather--and that's a lot. Dr. Shively has been a teacher for the academites since the beginning and has close ties to this place. He often tries to organize activites for academites in his class that involve leaving campus (a rare treat for any student at Cooper). Last year he took students to a private viewing of the "Science in Art" display at the Maryville Art Gallery (yes, there actually is an art gallery in Maryville, though not much of one.) You can almost always find him in his office (from the crack of dawn 'til dusk). He is also known for hosting an annual bbq in his backyard once at the end of every school year. | Dr. Steven Shively is a man who loves English almost as much as he loves Willa Cather--and that's a lot.

Dr. Shively, like any English teacher, will make you read and write. Expect to write 4 or 5 papers a semester for this guy. He assigns a lot of mini-papers and random assignments as well. That is where you'll encounter his lucritive and ambigious check mark grading system. But, I've tried to crack it....
- A plus sign (+) = an A
- A Check plus = a high B or low A
- A Check = a low B or high C
- A Check minus = a C or low C
- A Minus (-) = a D or F
This is what I believe to be the cracked check code... however, it is hard to solve the puzzles of Dr. Shively's mind, so this information was terribly difficult to come by.
Dr. Steven Shively is a man who loves English almost as much as he loves Willa Cather--and that's a lot. Dr. Shively has been a teacher for the academites since the beginning and has close ties to this place. He often tries to organize activites for academites in his class that involve leaving campus (a rare treat for any student at Cooper). Last year he took students to a private viewing of the "Science in Art" display at the Maryville Art Gallery (yes, there actually is an art gallery in Maryville, though not much of one.) You can almost always find him in his office (from the crack of dawn 'til dusk). He is also known for hosting an annual bbq in his backyard once at the end of every school year.
