If you have any plans of having your GPA protected for higher education, do not take her class. Her assignment instructions are vapid, mediocre at best. When she grades, shes more concerned about APA than the actual content. Super condescending, and unprofessional. Threatens to fail anyone who speaks up for themselves.

DO NOT TAKE ANY CLASS WITH CHARMAINE PERKINS SHE WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE AND YOUR GPA, MARKS WAY TO HARD ON PAPERS IM NORMALLY A 85%-95% scorer on papers and I barely passed hers. IM SERIOUS WORST PROF EVER,EXAMS ARE SO BAD PEOPLE WERE IN TEARS DURING AND AFTER THE EXAM(me included) AND SOME EVEN LOOKED AT THE PAPER, LEFT AND WITHDREW FROM THE CLASS.

1) She is difficult to understand in her lectures. 2) She gets angry in class if we cannot answer her questions. 3) She has difficulties writing test questions and expressing what she wants in an answer. I will not be taking another class with her.

She is absolutely terrible. Worst professor I ever had in Douglas. Trust me when I say DO NOT TAKE HER. She starts off the first class by saying oh dont listen to ratemprofs BUT LISTEN FOR ONCE AND DO NOT TAKE HER.

I usually really enjoy criminology and sociology, and get A's but this class has me failing. Teaching styles of other professors are much more engaging, exciting and overall makes you want to learn and participate. She is detailed and has a set structure. However, there is lack of enthusiasm, which makes this class miserable. Social setting matters

Do not take a class with this teacher. She treats a 2 year class worse then a 4th year class. She expects you to already know all the materials, so there is not much of teaching that happens in class. Her notes are jumbled and the textbook does not do a good job of explaining what she wants. Her tests are extremely hard. Shes not approachable.

DO NOT TAKE HER EVER. SHE IS RUDE, INCONSIDERATE, AND BY FAR THE WORST PROFESSOR IN DOUGLAS. SHE DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO TEACH.

DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS. She is very unapproachable. I have never had a teacher like her. She puts you down so easily. Good luck if you have to take her class.

I have never had an instructor at Douglas College that was so unapproachable, rude and condescending. She is a very tough marker and has very unclear guidelines for assignments. She will belittle you in front of the class and is no help when you see her after class for help. I will never take another course with her.

Hands down one of the worst profs I have ever had super rude and insulting you ask her for help she wont do anything to help you but insult you and if she doesnt look the tone of your writing she will want you not to be apart of the class I was supposed to get my diploma this semester but now I get it next because I had to drop out to save my gpa

I have been at douglas for some time now and I have never had a professor like her. She is the worst professor I have ever had. If you ask her for feedback she will direct you to the learning center and say she gave you feedback when all she did was insult you. She's a very tough marker. Very unapproachable. I highly recommend not taking her class.

I would strongly advise against taking this professor. Charmaine could be very rude at times and her exams were extremely difficult. She would often get frustrated with her students. Opinions that do not coincide with her own are not welcome. She is also very strict about academic dishonesty; you even have to cite everything on the exam.

Charmaine is not an easy teacher to approach, belittles you when you ask questions in lecture and is all around disrespectful to students. The class was not super difficult and assignments were for the most part straight forward but the way she teaches is awful and I would recommend to take classes with literally any other prof aside from her.

After being at Douglas for 3 years, I have never had a professor this horrible before. She belittles her students and once even made out to the class that we were wrong for having a different opinion than her own. I felt like I couldn't ask questions in lectures because she would rudely respond in a condescending manner. Awful professor and person.

She is the worst professor in the college by far. She is an outrageous and unreasonable lecturer.

Unclear about her expectations. Extremely rude over email.

Currently in her class - thought it would be fun and interesting but it just isn't. Could be a cool person in real life, but I percieve as not such a nice person. Take this class with anybody other than her.

Okay to be honest the class and content itself was fine. I did not mind her lectures at all personally and I know other people have their opinions about her lectures. But let me tell you this WOMEN is the ruddest professor I have ever met. She is rude in her emails also. I have never met a professor like this to the point where im writing a review

Don't take her class, you'll fail. She has no respect for her students. She is rude.

Probably one of the worst classes I have taken. My gpa is going to horrible because of this class. She is very rude and strict. Her exams are so weird because you will do everything that you are supposed to and you still fail. I would not recommend.

I thought I would give her a chance, the biggest mistake I have ever made. Do NOT take a class with her you will regret it. She is so rude in person and over email. She is also a really hard marker.

Worst professor ever. Online exams do not allow you to go back to make any changes. The wording and placement of exam questions most of the time do not make any damn sense at all. Why have 3-4 long written questions in a row? Do you really think students have the mental aptitude and capacity to complete their exams successfully? 0/10. What a joke.

What in the World

She belittles you if asked questions she feels are answered (its a 3 hour lecture, we're bound to miss something). If you have opinions that differ from her own, she will barely give you time to speak. During our presentations, she would speak over the presenters, and any questions directed at the peer presenter was interrupted and answered by her.

She can be a Very rude person! from time to time and shows an attitude to you. If Is shes having a bad day or is not liking your behavior in class e.g. not taking notes or talking to others while she's talking, or on the phone. Would not recommend her unless you like getting belittled, or if you a good grade

Do not take Charmaine. She is the worst teacher I have ever come across. She's rude, unkind and not accessible whatsoever. If you have questions, she will look and speak to you as if you're the dumbest person in the world. She thinks you should be prepared to have all the knowledge in the world and be an expert in everything. Avoid at all costs!

Would not recommend, very rude

Honestly one of the hardest profs that i have ever met hard lectures that you need to be taking notes for straight 3 hours with a 10 minutes break only midterm and final was really hard asking for specific dates and names from the textbook if you take this class you need to be reading and reading for the whole semester.

I have never felt more obligated to write about a professor. Charmaine is the worst professor I have ever had. When people tell you to not take her... DO NOT! She is extremely rude and does not care about her students. I truly don't know how she still has her job. It's appalling how poorly she treats her students. The worst!

This professor does not show favoritism and grades all fairly, however she is very unfriendly to certain students who are too shy to participate. She is not very understanding when it comes to student's personal life issues.

She is one of the worst professors one can ever have. She will ask you to come to her whenever you have any doubt but will insult you every time. She is known for discrimination. Never ever take this professor.

She clearly favours the sweaty try-hard students or Indigenous students.During Truth & Reconciliation, she asked what people did and she scowled at me when I told her nothing. Says class is a safe space but is extremely rude and passive aggressive herself. The people giving her good ratings are the sweats. I don't even know how she's still teaching

She is rude and acts like she cares about her students but in reality, she doesn't. When you ask for help she doesn't do anything to help you. She also wants people to talk, but if she doesn't agree she will shut you down.

She does not go into detail and expects everyone to have read/understood the reading. Her lectures are very surface-level, and there is a lot of discussion during her class. if you don't participate you probably won't pass. All exams are essays. Tough grader, won't correct anything and still give you a low grade.

Steer clear of this professor's course! Unclear instructions on assignments. She dismisses others' opinions with a casual 'haters gonna hate' attitude and never self-reflects on her teaching methods. Also, her classes lack engagement; she doesn't share slides, making it harder to grasp the material. Ultimately, I learned nothing but writing skills

Lectures were very long, confusing and boring. She made us do homework and would go around the class and critique it in front of everyone or call you out if it wasn't completed. Very awkward&embarrassing. Her exams were 5 double sided pages of ALL written material that she wanted extremely detailed. Took course 3 years ago and it still haunts me.

During the normal day class she expects us to participate but upon speaking up she cuts you off and starts talking which is very unprofessional of her. She has written exams only. You must listen to the lecture, and read the textbook and take notes. Why she is still a professor at Douglas college altho she is not an efficient teacher? Do not TAKE!!

How is she even a prof? She makes a first year class so difficult, is rude to her students, and doesn't give room for improvement. She doesn't share slides and expects you to buy and read everything out of the textbook before each class. I pray for whoever takes her class and if you plan on taking any crim classes don't take her.

Horrible teaching style. Not approachable and is somewhat rude to students. Would not recommend her to ANYONE. Paper assignment is weird and she could do a better job at making it so people are atleast engaged to do the paper. Lots of reading and lectures are mostly just reviews instead of teaching

I don't think words can even describe what you go through in her class. Nobody should have to listen to the degrading words that came out of her mouth towards my class "worst class I've ever had a Douglas"(her words not mine). She is not understanding at all extremely test-heavy, talks a whole lot of nothing in class expects u to know everything

Take this from someone who got a good grade, I did NOT enjoy this course. I'm a stem student and this was my hardest course of the semester!!!!! The lectures are pretty much useless if you do the readings and the tests are a brutal 3 hours straight of just writing. But she did answer emails quickly and allow one page of notes for tests. STILL HARD.

Take this from someone who got a good grade, I did NOT enjoy this course. I'm a stem student and this was my hardest course of the semester!!!! The lectures are pretty much useless if you do the readings and the test's are a brutal 3 hours of nonstop writing. She does respond to emails quickly and allow one page of notes for tests. STILL DIFFICULT.

By far, the worst teacher I have ever encountered in my life. Extremely rude to students and holds a major sense entitlement. I took her class years ago and I am still traumatized from it. I'm honestly shocked such a professor with such bad reviews, is still teaching at this school. Do better Douglas.

She is a tough grader. UNFAIR DONT TAKE HER! IF YOU WANT TO GET A HIGHER GPA, THEN DON'T TAKE HER!!!!!!!!! SHE WILL DROP YOUR GPA! GOOD LUCK!

I have no idea why Douglas still have profs like that…avoid her even if it's the only prof who teaches the course

Would not take again. I had her last semester and had a awful experience.

This professor is the worst professor I've ever had. Her exams are extremely hard, even with a cheat sheet; she expects perfection, and if you can't give that, you fail. Her papers are graded through her own bias against AI; she claims that AI was used, despite there being proof that it was not. She never believes you're sick either. Never take her

For this course, her teaching style was good and engaging; however, her exams never reflected her lectures. Everyone in my class bombed the exam; on top of that, she was extremely rude to students. She never uploads marks either. Don't understand why Douglas has her around. To all the students who said she is fair, she liked you more.

Charmaine is not a good professor. Expect her to make assumptions about you, and at times you just feel targeted. Slides aren't posted, but she makes you write them all down. The tests are all long answers which isn't bad but the way she grades is. My experiences are real, and clearly the 50 other 1 stars agree. Ppl rating 4/5 are spreading misinfo
