This was the best class, you will learn so much and things you need to no when you graduate
An absolutely amazing professor. She keeps everyone very enthusiastic about the class & def. makes it different & fun. She communicates very well & is always eager to help if someone asks. She encourages discussion & group work- even on some quizzes. Extra cred. is easy & encouraged too. HW is easy if you keep on top of it. No tests- only quizzes.
Take this class, take this class, take this class! She is an A M A Z I N G professor. If I could, I would take her class over and over again.
BEST CLASS EVER!!! She is honestly the best teacher I have ever had! Great personality; very clear and patient when teaching; uses visuals, demonstrations videos, group/partner activities and power points to teach. She makes it effortless to remember information. AND she actually cares enough to learn EVERYONES name, and personalities. AMAZING!!
Great Teacher! Class is easy i alomst felt as thought there was a catch. But none just a good teacher. I had no prior intres in psyc but if i could have her for every class i would major it. Book use is light mostly black board. Strongly recommend!
I love her to death. She is so sincere and nice. At first it is hard to take her seriously, but she is great!
SHE IS ONE OF THE BEST TEACHERS. SHE IS SO NICE AND SWEET. DEF RECOMMEND HER! YOU'LL LOVE HER
If every professor in the U.S. was as nice, patient,smart and acutally cared about their students we would all be living much better lives. She teaches very clearly, has clear expectations and her lectures are very interesting to listen to. TAKE HER CLASSES!!!!
If English is not your first language,and you are scared that you will have problems with understanding.No worries. She is very smart and so much understanding person. She explains new material properly and uses great examples. I had a big pleasure to have her as a teacher.
She is OUTSTANDING! She is easy, nice, intelligent, and such a cutie pie. Pay attention, she lectures most of the time but keeps it so interesting. She uses props, group activities, and she LOVES bringing snacks. Such a sweetheart and you'll definitely love her. Easy A.
Best Teacher I have had in a long time! I would recommend her class even if psychology is not required. You learn more than text book from her. I even drove to Auburn Hills which is out of my way but worth it to take her class and would do so again to have her as my teacher. She meets her students at their level something rare for teachers today.
Prof Decker was one of the best professors I've had to date. She is exceedingly helpful, kind, and funny. You should try to enroll in her class!
She was the best teacher I ever had. She made things very clear to you and she realy cares about her students. If you wanted to talk you could have just called her. Love her wish all were like her.
Stacks on da da da decker.best teacher at OCC. very clear and easy. Always brings in food for the class and is very helpful. Great teacher
Absolutely hands down the best professor I have ever had! I would take her class again in a heart beat just to have her as my professor. So many students attributed their careers goals based upon what they learned in her class. She's the first teacher i've ever given a christmas present to :) and I wasn't the only one either!
This was my first class since dropping out of high school 4 years ago, so obviously I was nervous. My biggest problem in school has always been the teachers.... What a refreshing woman!!!! She is the best of the best, you almost feel like your in kindergarten with all the praise and cheerfulness she brings, but I am still learning a lot. LOVE HER!!
Awesome teacher! I took ths class on accident thinking it was a philosophy class but I'm so glad I took it. She is very clear on verything she teaches and very helping and understanding.
Easy class if you attend class and pay attention. She is such an amazing teacher. Her unique way of teaching makes learning very easy. Full of energy and very caring about her students. She loves to teach and it shows.
This is professor is amazing. She does a great job of teaching everybody. I loved she brought in speakers. Always keeps a positive attitudes towards everybody. She has helped me rejuvenate my willingness to learn.
Mrs. Decker seriously is the best teacher at Occ she really cares about her students and it shows! I wish their where more prof. Like her at Occ because she is an amazing teacher who cares about her students. She is clear on her material lets us use notes on some tests and brings in snacks every class :) "shine bright everyone"
This professor will probably be the best professor I will ever have in my college career. I went through a lot of things during this class, and on top of that it was an accelerated summer course. She was so kind and understanding about everything that I was going through and genuinely touched my heart. I wish that she could teach all of my classes.
I would recommend this class to any first time college student or someone coming back after a hiatus. Mrs. Decker is a fantastic professor who geniunly cares about her students and goes far out of her way to make this class a unique learning experience. Warning - she'll have you thinking about changing your major to Psychology (she's that good).
AWESOME TEACHER!!!!! Sge makes the class so much fun and actually makes you WANT to go everyday LOVE her
Her class is so easy to the point where it'll be hard for students to receive anything less than an "A". She babies students (you don't have to study for 3/5 tests because 2 are open note tests and 1 is a take home test), grades too easily, and provides snacks. All 3 methods are counter productive because they don't prepare you for the real world
She was by far the most helpful professor I have had yet. She's very easy to talk to, and very kind!
OMG Mrs.DECKER!Absolutely amazing teacher. She is SO sweet, nice, and helpful! Literally amazing.Take her class, you will not regret it. She cares about her students, and encourages to ask questions. Teaches in a understandable and interesting way. Probably the nicest person I have ever met. COME to class every session, SHE makes it worth coming!
Most caring teacher I've ever had and easy A! She's the type of teacher that demonstrates with props which makes learning easier and more fun!
Mrs. Decker is an amazing teacher, who makes the class really easy. She is fun and energetic, and keeps you interested the whole time. I highly recommend her.
best instructor ever! even though I fell asleep sometimes in the class, it was interesting. she made the subjects very easy to understand. she is awesome, random, and gives snack. i love her!
Mrs. Decker is the most genuine and charismatic teacher I've ever had. For every lecture she ties in a life lesson. You don't really need the book, but definitely know her powerpoints for the test. She's very fair and does everything keeping each student in mind. Not exactly an easy A, but worth the work! :)
Super easy, but kind of annoying. She gets really passionate, but it's always about her personal life stories, not the class. Sometimes I actually don't think she knows how loud she is. She basically screams the punch line of every story, and it just makes my ears hurt. She's definitely nice, but I kind of get the feeling she doesn't actually know what she's talking about. Great class if you're really stupid and need everything explained ten times.
Super easy class. You can tell she is really passionate about teaching and she knows what she is talking about. She makes the material interesting. I recommend taking this class with her. Watch out, she does use the phrase, "here we go" at least 50 times per class.
Love, Love, Love Ms. Decker! Awesome Teacher! Great Examples, TONS of Laughs! Easy Pyschology Class, But You Learn So Much! All The Notes Offered Online, No Book Neccessary, There Are Some On Hold In The Library! She's Hilarious And She Keeps It Real!
BEST TEACHER I EVER HAD IN MY LIFE! I recommend her to everyone that wants to take that class or is even interested. Love her!
Great professor. She is funny and helps you learn things in interesting ways. Just go to class and listen, you'll do fine in the class. The 12 week class is what i recommend, she makes it go by fast and easy.
Prof. Decker is an amazing teacher. She uses props, and ties in personal examples and stories to help pull the lesson together. She is extremely outgoing, and takes a vested interest in each and every student. She makes sure that everything is clear and understood before moving on. She is helpful and hilarious. A great teacher, esp for new students
She was hands down one of the best professors I've ever had! She took your personal situation into account, the day I was fired and the day another student's boyfriend dumped her were exam days. She offered to postpone my and the girl exams because as she taught us, test scores reflect the students mental state at the time
For the record, I just LOVE the phrase: Here we go, folks! now that I have heard this awesome teacher say it fifty or so times! As a first time student in over 25 years, what a bonus to have gotten her as my very first prof! She ignited the love of learning psych that I always knew was inside, yet untapped all these years. Thank you, Mrs. Decker!
THE. GREATEST. PROFESSOR. EVER.
She is literally the best professor I've ever had! She's a super sweet lady and is more than fair with her grading. Her quizzes are beyond easy. I only had to study the night before to get an A. She uses visual aids and there is A TON of extra credit! It's almost impossible NOT to get an A in this class. She is absolutely fantastic!
Decker is the sweetest, most caring, and compassionate professor EVER! You will be AMAZED at how quickly her 12 week class goes by – I only wish it had gone on longer! Her classes fill up fast, so be prepared to push that registration button like the speed of light! If you are waitlisted, WAIT until the next semester to get in – it is worth it!
Awesome teacher. She cares about her students and only want them to succeed there is no possible way to get anything less than an A out of her class. Highly recommend her and am proud to say I was one of her students
I LOVED THIS CLASS....! Awesome teacher. She cares about her students and only want them to succeed there is no possible way to get anything less than an A out of her class. Highly recommend her and am proud to say I was one of her students
Absolutely love this woman! I definitely enjoyed this class! I recommend her to anyone who need this course! Wonderful, caring professor!
Literally, this woman is the perfect professor. She has so much love in her heart for psychology and her students. She does everything she possibly can to help us succeed. You will most definitely miss her.
She is genuinely committed to making sure you do well and feel welcome and comfortable. she gives out candy in every class, she will know you by name, and she will change test dates and due dates if the class is struggling. Very accommodating, I absolutely recommend her
She is so helpful if you have any questions at all. I took this as a night class that she made interesting enough to keep me awake. she is very energetic towards her lectures and uses humor and real life examples to get you engagedinterested and awake. Over all would recommend her no doubt
Professor said she loved our class and since it's the last class she brought us pizza and cookies to our class. Love this lady.
She brought my class pizza and cookies. Professor Decker is simply amazing, entertaining and a total sweetheart. I recommend everyone to take her, and I am going out of my way to take her again.
On our last lecture day she brought us pizza and cookies..
she was amazing. she was kind and I really loved her. I looked forward to coming to her class every week.
Best. Teacher. EVER. Seriously, I love Professor Decker. She's such a sweet, caring, and friendly person! She's always ready to help if you have problems in class. Her classes are so fun and interactive! Lots of extra credit. PSY 2810 is a HARD class but she makes it worth it! I wish I could take more classes with her! She's my favorite teacher! :)
Lots of guest speakers and a feild trip. She tells you every assignment you'll have on the first day of class and hands out most of them. two out of three exams are take home. You have to read the smaller book "Opening Doors, Opening Lives" but the textbook is pretty useless except for the tests (which are take home, even the final exam).
You will be graded on your attendance, extra credit given for perfect attendance. You MUST get to now your classmates, you'll be tested on their interests. One in class test, and a take home final. You will be assigned work straight from the textbook, and get ready to write. Do the assignments (which she hands out the first day) and you'll get an A
I LOVED Professor Deckers PSY 2510 class. I signed up to take her PSY 2810 class without hesitation! However, the professor who I fell in love with in PSY 2510 drastically changes her teaching method for PSY 2810. Also, I'm an introvert, and the class requires an extraordinary amount of self-disclosure which made me uncomfortable. Heavy workload!
Professor Decker is the best professor I've had the chance to take. Her lectures are powerpoints, straight forward, and she'll do whatever it takes to make sure you understand the material. Tests are easy if you study. She provides extra credit also. Study, take notes, and you'll get a good grade. Would take again in a heartbeat.
Professor Decker is amazing. Reviews don't do her justice, classes are even better than great! She's hilarious and you learn SO much in her class. I liked her the moment she walked in. She cares about all her students and is always willing to help. I wish she taught more advanced sections of Psych at OCC, I'd take them all with her! Shine Bright!
Professor Decker is amazing. She is so sweet and really cares about her students. It was a great intro to psychology. You get 10 points for every class you attend, so DON'T skip! The way she brings her own stories into lecture makes concepts easy to remember. Only time I used the text book really was on the take home exam 2. Have fun!
Professor Decker is great!! she cares a lot about her students. She is very sweet. Her lectures are full of real examples that make the class pretty understandable! I learned a lot in her class without stress my self memorizing stuff. Amazing professor.
Show up and pass. Or don't show up and just read the power points online. didn't even touch the book. Easiest quizzes of my life. One with a cheat sheet, another is a take-home. No exam. Everything is super clear and she does funky demonstration skits (participating is one of the many ways to get extra credit) Gotta love Mrs. Decker. Easy A.
A textbook is available but u won't need it & the library carries copies. No exams just short quizzes, 1st one u cld make a cheat sheet, another was a Take Home and I still didn't use the book. Listen in class, review lecture notes & you will get an A. Participate for Extra points. She's funny & kind, she even brought us bagels & cream cheese. YES!
She's a real sweetheart. Quizzes are a piece of cake especially if you go to the SI sessions before class all the answers are basically given away. Lectures are fun and interactive even for an introvert like myself. Last day of class she went out of her way to get us a large greek salad and some cookies to eat through lecture.
This is a wonder class to take the second summer session. Lectures were a little long but engaging plus she gives plenty of breaks. The SI was wonderful!. Beware though, attendance is worth 10 points per class and an A starts at 96%. If you sign up for this class make sure you can attend every session on time!
Best teacher I ever had! She uses a very helpful teaching style. You couldn't fail her class unless you tried hard. Only used the book for the quiz at the library saved my money
I took her class a few years ago. I was very impressed with her "inter-active" teaching style. She helps her students understand and apply concepts, rather than having us memorize meaningless definitions. Her class was interesting but I still had to study.
Awesome professor! Easily one of my favourites!
Love love love love love!!!! Did I say love? She's relatable! Genuine! Caring! About business! But what you see is what you get! I was bummed when the semester was over. She is awesome! Take her if you have ANY chance to do so. You won't regret it.
She is seriously the nicest professor out there! You should for sure take this class. She is super understanding, caring, and very into the subject she's teaching with makes the class actually fun!
I LOVED this class. Professor Decker is awesome and she made everything so interesting. It was different every week! Lots of great guest speakers and lectures. Two field trips, one is a bit far but worth it. Two take home exams, one quiz + several weekly written assignments so READ the textbook! If you show up and do the work then you'll do fine.
I recommend everyone to take Decker. Great professor! Makes psychology fun to learn. Very understanding. Gives examples during lectures with objects which is helpful and so cute of her to do. I never liked psychology but she made it so interesting! We had about 3 homework assignments, 4 quizzes, and 1 take home test. TAKE PSYCH WITH PROF. DECKER!!!
doesn't only motivate you to learn more but helps you understand. one of those profs that actually wants you to pass the class and will help you
Very good teacher, highly recommend taking her for psy. Don't bother buying the book tho.
AMAZING! Professor Decker is straight forward in what she expects and as long as you follow that you will more than pass! Plus, she is very kind and full of fun and humor. You can really tell that the subject means a lot to her, as so do her students. I learned a lot and I felt like she really cared about me and whether or not I learned. The best!
Mrs. Decker was a great teacher, very warm and genuine. She gives plenty of extra credit and hands out all the homework to you the first day so you can decide when to do them. The quizzes were very easy, especially when she would always find 2-3 questions she "didn't like" so she gave us the answers.
If you're looking for a good professor for psychology she's the one. She makes it so much fun and relatable. A few out of class assignments and extra credits. She doesn't give out exams but quizzes. Quizzes are no more than 50 questions. Take her, you won't regret it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
One of the nicest professors I have ever had. Very understanding. As long as you do the homework and actually study for her quizzes you will do great! She does give 10 points each class for showing up and participating and also gives tons of extra credit opportunities!
Superb Prof! Taking SUM 6week. First She seems really strict, but she's excellent and funny! She is down to business not time to chat, class starts promptly, but she makes it easy!!! All tests multiple choice. 1st u can have notes, 2nd take at home, the other 3 r regular tests. Lectures r fun lots of examples from life. Gives great advaices. Take!!
By far one of the best Professors I've had at this campus. Helpful, clear, thoughtful, and straight forward. She cares like a mother and has the humor of a teenager. She can be quite loud but funny when we discuss topics. Homework is simple; no need to buy the book as she reserves some in the library to use. Show up to class for points. Tests ONLY.
Cheryl Decker was by far the single best psychology professor I have ever had. She actually cared about each of her students and wanted them to succeed in her class. If you show up to each class you get 10 points (at least for my 6 week summer class). She is one of the most kind hearted and best human beings I have ever met.
Decker is the best. The class was very lecture based and attendance is important if you want to do well. She basically tells you the answers to the tests in lectures, so if you want an easy A just go to class. The book isn't necessary but is good for some out of class assignments ("homework"). She offers extra credit and is super flexible!
Lots of class participation, gives a lot of extra credit and the book is not needed. Going to class is mandatory and is essential to getting an A. Amazing teacher, person and classes.
Professor decker brought me to tears with how much she genuinely cares about every student. I finally felt like I was in a class to learn and not for a grade! So much extra credit, so much love, and so much learning. Couldn't find a better professor anywhere. Take this class.
She was go easy going and truly sweet!! This class took stress off of me, compared to other classes I've taken. She's understanding of students life's outside of her classroom. I took this accelerated in the summer of 2015 in 6 weeks and got an A effortless. You just have to study your notes from the lecture, and her lectures aren't dry, so it's easy!
AMAZING WOMAN! She's so passionate in her work! Loves to help everyone and she's so darn nice and happy all the time. I wish all teachers were like her. She gives out all of the hw the first day but you have the whole semester to turn it in whenever!
She uses props to make lectures easier to understand and FUN. She gets you up and out of your seat with student activities that demonstrate the concepts. Harder material is made easy because of how she lectures. She also provides resources and other ways to make up points for people who are absent. I really enjoy her class and highly recommend it
She was a wonderful professor and woman. She broke down complex material and made it easy for all to understand. She genuinely cares about people and her students. If you get a chance, take her class. You won't regret it
Cheryl was amazing, I had her for both intro and survey of an exceptional child and both were incredible. She's so willing to work with you and make accommodations as well as understand the material. Love love LOVE this professor
Cheryl is AMAZING. Best teacher I've had at occ. she is smart and caring and I couldn't love her any more. Super clear grading, minimal homework, don't buy the book! And decent tests. Justbstudy the power points and you'll do great! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone.
Professor Decker is absolutely amazing! She cares so much about her students. If you ever have a problem, going directly to her is the best route as she is completely fair. Attendance is for credit, so make sure you show up! Tests are based off of her slides, so print and highlight!
Professor Decker is a great professor and an even better person. The class is easy as long as you pay attention during lectures, participate, do the small amount of homework that she gives, and read a little outside of class. She is very kind and fair, and her old students still talk to her because they love her so much. Worth every penny.
Cheryl Decker is a SAINT!!!!! I highly recommend her for any course. Attendance is counted towards your grade, but she is such an awesome professor that you will want to show up to every class! She cares about every single student and wants to see you succeed. We need more people in the world like Cheryl Decker.
You will walk away from her class with a smile on your face. She is so nice and understanding and goes out of her way to make you feel like a million bucks. In my opinion she grades super easy. Hit every point in the guidelines and you get a 100%. The class is in depth for a PSY major, and easy enough for someone who is not.
she tries to make sure the whole class understands what she is trying to explain and she always has a lot of energy
She cares about her students.
she's great i 100% recommend
Amazing
My most favorite professor, one of the greatest people I have ever met. If you see "Cheryl Decker" as a instructor for a class you need credit for, TAKE IT. She helps everybody out, gets to know students, and most importantly she teaches VERY well. I can't say one bad thing about her, if you fail - it's your own fault.
Professor Decker is AMAZING. She is the best professor I have had so far. She wants all of her students to pass and presents the material very clearly. She makes it known what is expected of you. She gives very good examples and tells stories that make the content stick. She is extremely sweet and put a smile on my face every class.
Best professor I've ever had! She's super sweet and genuinely wants you to pass! She taught so well during lecture I barely had to study. But make sure you go to lectures because you get points for being there! I highly recommend renting the book bc you don't really use it much.
The best teacher Ive ever had at OCC. She gives out extra credit. First test you can use notes. Second test is take home. You get to have one make up test taken on the last day. 10 points for coming to class and is included in your final grade. Not cumulative final. 3 homework assignments. No papers.
Cheryl Decker is one of the nicest most caring humans I have ever met, she is so concerned about her students and wants the best for every single one of them. Her class is the easiest, she grades by points not percents, she has 4 homework assignments for the whole class, easy 30 question test's. But her lectures are long and exhausting.
Professor decker is amazing, i literally cant imagine anyone not loving her or doing absolutely phenomenal in her class. I wish every college professor was as amazing as she is!!!
Nicest lady I've ever had teach a class!!
She is one of the best professors Ive had! Her assignments are well organized and well explained. She always finds a way to make class fun and interesting, and I always learned something new. She is very caring and a great listener. If time is running short- she never shuts down a discussion about a topic. Instead she adds to it.
Mrs Decker is a once in a lifetime professor. I know I will never meet anyone like her no matter where I go in life. If you know her you love her. I have taken every class she teaches & not because I needed to but because of who she is. If you want to learn in a real tangible way take her class & expect to be changed (in a good way) in the process.
Mrs. Decker is an amazing professor. She really cares about her students and really wants you to learn. Take her class!!
Great professor, she is the best I've ever had at OCC. She makes it fun & easy to learn. I wish she thought other subjects!
SHe is one of the nicest professors ever. She makes the class fun and understandable and her tests are great. I would recommend her for all psychology majors.
Very understanding toward students works really hard to make sure we know the stuff and she entertains us with slides clips and things Shen shows in class.
Helpful good fun lecture she gave she knows how teach.
She is the best teacher ever. My totally favorite making her lectures funny and some of the best tests.
She shows lots of funny clips that relate to the topic and they really help. She gives good hints on what is going to be on her exams.
If you need a psychology class or are psychology major you must take Decker. She really teaches the stuff.
Who would not want a helpful funny and friendly teacher like her. She is just great.
She made her upper level class more like a fun lower level class. Still had to study to pass but if studied right it is easy.
She is wonderful! She is super understanding and caring of each student in her class. The lectures are great, and easy to learn from. She doesn't make you feel dumb for asking questions, and responds pretty quick. Show up to the classes, do the work, and study a bit, you will be fine.
The easiest funniest Teacher and class that I had ever had in my entire life. No wonder everyone wants to have her as a professor.
When I had her for psych 1510 it was great and when I got her for 250 she was even better. I loved taking her classes I wish I could have taken more classes.
The highest psych class I have ever taken and it was the easiest.
When you chose her you won't chose wrong because this teacher is the bomb.
She is so great she was one the few teachers I wrote an award for.
Seriously the easiest class anybody could ever take.
Really nice lady. I would strongly recommend taking her for a teacher.
You need an easy A take her, but still don't slack off and take the or teacher for granted.
She cares a lot about her students and she works really hard to make sure everyone can pass.
I really lover class. I wish I could take it again.
All psych kids at OCC should take her.
Really sweet professor in both terms of awesome and nice.
I loved this teacher quite a lot her personality and class.
Decker is the the best professor ever.
I loved the props she had in class they were funny and helpful.
Easy going teacher teaching an easy class.
She shows good funny entaining clips and powerpoints uses props and stays on subject making the class fun entertaining easy and educational, Still work is required so don't blow it. She is really nice an caring when you see her in office or stay after class and even remembers the good things about you.
You show to lectures follow the book look at the slides and make flashcards and you'll get an A.
For such a high class this is easy.
No teacher can top her.
She should be teaching math because this class is as easy as pie.
I could not have asked for an easier and nicer professor.
This teacher should get a big raise.
Thanks to her psych is one of my favorites.
She showed good examples in class.
For such a high level psych class she was easy.
Never had a better professor.
THis professor has phenomenal teaching.
I am so glad I picked her as my teacher for psychology.
Easy class and a nice teacher.
The easiest going professor I ever had.
I would not always get enough sleep and took this class early in the morning and her teaching could wake me up.
I never thought I'd make it pass this course but after her teaching and exams it was easy.
If you like psych then you'll love her.
She is just amazing it is an easy clas, but it is not all fun and games.
She is the number one psych teacher of OCC.
Friendliest Teacher ever.
I wish every class was like hers.
The best professor I have ever had. She cares so much about her students. The way she teaches is so everyone feels comfortable on the material before taking the test. She explains everything in detail and it is such a fun class. Thank you Mrs. Decker for making college fun!
Omg. by far the best professor i have had. her lectures are so amazing, when you get to the study guide for the test, you already have everything memorized. I never wanted to skip her class, just because her energy is so amazing.
Amazing professor. Gives you ALL of the assignments due for the WHOLE semester when you meet for the first time. You can turn all of your assignments in and as long as you turn them in by the actual due date, shell give them back to you if you received anything less than a 100% so you can make corrections.. if you fail this class you deserve it.
C. Decker is an awesome professor. Her class isn't hard in the traditional way but it is personally. You have to be willing to be honest with who you are in this class. She is fair in my opinion more than fair.
She is the BEST instructor Ive ever had at OCC. She is so nice, teaches well, fun class, and makes the lessons interesting. You need to do your hw. Every class is like that, but its easy and understandable. To anyone picking her, dont hesitate. (To ^^ ?, if I took it for credit...I need the class for nursing, but I would take it again)
Best professor I ever had!!!!
She may be an easy A but you still have to work hard to get it. She will help you when needed
She teaches much like a god. She is just awesome.
She is really helpful and caring to all students especially those with disabilities. She provides you with a cheat sheet that you can write on for her exams.
To sum it all up really nice helpful friendly teacher. Let's you use cheat sheet. Makes sure you can keep up. Lectures are good and entertaining.
She shows us funny and intersting videos that help help us learn in her class. In office hours she is very nice and makes sure you don't fall behind. She is really nice to everyone and is very helpful especially to those who have learning disabilities.
she is AWESOME !! doesn't make the students stressed
Amazing class to take freshman year she really does want you to do well and makes the class foolproof with her clear grading and easy tests. She even lets you turn hw back in for the full credit. Great professor wish more cared as much as she does.
This woman sets you up for success! She gives you all the homework first day of class and tells you when each are due. You can earn a lot of point by just asking her questions and participating. Showing up is the biggest part of your grade.

The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Ooh, black and yellow!
Professor Cheryl Decker is very inspirational. Most of her class is lectures. 4 tests and a few homework projects. She encourages class participation, her class is fun and she is a really sweet individual. I took the 7-week course T&Th. TAKE THIS CLASS! You won't regret it. My class is the intro to Psychology Class 08/26/19-10/10/19.
Genuinely wonderful professor. Currently trying to take another course with her as the professor as I loved her teaching style and how she interacted/treated the class as a whole. If you have her as a professor, enjoy her while you have her. One of a kind, and cannot say enough good things about her.
Prof. Decker is one of the top psychology teachers to have! She is clear on her expectations for the class, clear grading scale, the textbook for the class is more like a workbook! She gives you the homework on your first day so you can have time to start early and even turn them in early. Lectures are fun with guest speakers! Very informational!
Amazing human being and teacher!
She is such a caring and warm teacher. You can tell she actually likes to teach and is super passionate about helping the students learn. She is super inclusive and her lectures are not overwhelming. She makes her lectures super engaging and the homework is light but it will help you understand the concepts. Do yourself a favor and take her class!
Very caring professor that wants her students to succeed at THEIR goals. She is there to help you do well in her class as you move along your journey. Very easy class
Professor Decker is the best teacher Ive had in my entire life! Shes the sweetest thing! Her grading is based on 4 SUPER EASY tests and 4 assignments with all the answers in the book. She is so sweet and understanding if you have any troubles with anything. GIVES EXTRA CREDIT! Lectures were amazing! I would take her for every class if I could.
My favorite professor that I've had at OCC. Highly recommend taking her for the multiple Psych classes she teaches. PSY-2810 is all about self reflection and had some interesting guest speakers and cool projects.
Decker is the most amazing person with a beautiful soul. She is more than willing to help you in any way! She will re-explain things as many times as needed without questions you. She is also extremely funny, kind generous! You need to take her Psychology of Adjustment class, that's all I can say! I love Decker.
Shes so amazing and wants only the best for her students!
I am so glad I took her during this pandemic. She was clear and helpful.
she is an amazing teacher and lectures very well to where you understand and learn her class is not boring at all I wished she taught other subjects because I would def take it. excellent teaching skills
Professor Decker is the best professor I have ever had. She is passionate about what she does and creates her lecture in a way that even if you hate psychology, she'll inspire you to learn while having a good time in her classroom.
Amazing Prof! Best class Ive taken! She loves her students and will do anything in her power to help you! Great class! Learned a lot! Need text book.
She made this upper level class much easier and really helped when we had to transition to online during the covid.
She is clear what will be on the exams and helps you if she notices youre struggling.
All psych teachers I had were friendly, but she was the best and gave the best assignments.
Professor Decker not only cares about her students academically, but she shows genuine interest in their personal lives as well. She is very understanding and easy to work with, takes time to elaborate if needed, and always sets students up for success. 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND!!!
Professor Decker is MY FAVORITE professor hands down! I took her class "remotely" because of COVID. She had a lecture every class period but they were completely optional. You take five exams and all the answers are in the powerpoints that are given. She will tell you to use ALL resources and wants you to do great! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
Best professor ever. Easy class, fun material and as mentioned she really is great. Dont miss out on having her as a teacher, its been two years since i took her course and to this day i still think about things she said, videos we watched, and stories she told.
I absolutely loved having Professor Decker for Intro to Psych. I came away from every lecture feeling encouraged that I can finish my degree. She explains things where it's easy to understand and if you ever have a question, she's right there to answer it. It is easy to get in contact with her which is nice!
Shes an amazing teacher!!! Shes like a mother in a lot of ways and truly loved and cares for her students! Would definitely take her again and if I get the chance then I would. She does 5 quizzes thats literally it! Come to her lectures she highlights things related to the quiz, do those things and you wont fail!
Amazing teacher! 100% recommend her. I had her online due to the pandemic and her lectures were very informative and to the point. Her powerpoints have everything you need to know for the quizzes. She is so kind and really motivates her students. Listen to her lectures, read through the powerpoints and you will get an A in the class!
I wish I could take her for all of my classes, best professor. She cares for her students and doesn't give them stress. She's so nice and caring. All I can say is God bless her, and you are lucky if you're taking her class.
I absolutely adore Professor Decker. Never have I met such a kind-hearted teacher like her. She is the BEST. You will not regret taking this class. She makes lectures so fun, easy to follow, and engaging. I will miss attending her meetings. She even goes as far as to call you at the beginning and end of the semester to check on you... SO SWEET!
Good teacher and wants people to succeed.
She is the BEST! I couldn't take the in-person class due to COVID19 though, her lecture was so helpful! At the end of the semester, she called the students one by one to inform them of their grades and praised them for their hard work. THE BEST TEACHER EVER!
My favorite teacher to this day. Super sweet! Wants you to learn, her class was super easy but she explained it thoroughly anyway. Was always excited to be there and interact with her students. She always had a smile. I had a great time learning, honestly made me question if I should change my major to psychology I enjoyed it so much.
I genuinely love her so much! just take her what are you waiting for?
Wonderful professor. Enjoyable class!
Prof. Decker was AMAZING. Literally the best professor I have ever had! She was so helpful, so happy and always there for you. Before, during, and after class. She personally calls you because she CARES. I missed an exam due to life and she was genuinely worried about me and gave me a second chance. She is amazing. TAKE HER AS YOUR PROFESSOR!!!!
Caring / engaging. Due to the course being online, she let you use the powerpoints and other material on the quiz. Quiz questions were directly from the power points in the order they appeared on the power points. Was surprised people in the group chat were asking others for answers. Engaging class. Attendance not mandatory for online class.
Cheryl is the most perfect teacher ever. She is cherished by her classes and she knows what a hard time some of us are having taking classes online. She makes learning easy and fun. You follow the notes you will pass the quizzes. There were only 5 quizzes and she ended a week early and eased us out at the end. Love you Ms. Decker.
This class was the best class I have ever take. Cheryl was the sweetest lady I have ever met in my life. I would take this class a million times over again, It was super fun and super easy. If you want to do well in PSY I suggest taking it with her you will not regret it. :)
Prof Decker was the best professor I've had so far! She truly cares about each of her students, and helps you out as much as she can. Attendance was not mandatory online, but it was worth coming on just to hear her excitement for teaching. Gives two weeks to start tests cuz she understands that life comes up. Wish everyone had her compassion!
Absolutely wonderful teacher. Very clear and direct instructions for passing the class. She really cares about each student and is very helpful. I found her emails and lecture comments to be motivating and inspirational. I wish she could teach all of my classes!
Professor Decker was amazing, grade consisted of 5 quizzes that were all open book. I have learned so much from her in my 8 week class, would 100% take her again if she had higher PSY!
Best professor ive had yet at OCC. You wont find a more caring and happy professor that wants her students to succeed more than Cheryl Decker. I took her back in 2018 and its nice to see shes still teaching. I was hoping she had another psychology class because even if its more difficult. I don't care. I want to learn from a professor like her.
Such a kind and genuine woman. Her class was clear and she gave comprehensive lectures and documented powerpoints on all of the content she taught. Quizzes were always directly pulled from lecture material. She was very accommodating to covid standards and towards any student needs in general. you would have to TRY to fail her class.
One of the best professors I have ever had. She is a wonderful human being who genuinely cares for students and wants them to succeed. I would highly recommend taking her course.
I had mrs decker my first college semester and I can say Mrs Decker is the sweetest most easy going professor, genuinely cares about her students and is absolutely made for what she does, very easy A, I would love to have her again
Ms. Decker was so sweet. She's a great teacher and definitely helpful.
Professor Decker cares about her students. She called everyone in the class individually before the class started to have a one on one conversation and to answer any questions, which she didn't have to do however it says a lot about her character. There is only 5 exams and she gives notes for the chapters and a study guide. So glad to have had her!
She is ok.. She says her class is 200 points and drops one of your lowest quizes but that is not true. She calls you a lot which is a bit annoying espcially when it is an online class and work a lot. I wish the school would not gibe out our personal phone numbers.
This professor is the nicest and most caring professor I have ever had. She truly cares about her students.
She is the best professor I have ever had! This online class is not hard and you could learn stuff with a relax mood. Choose her and you won't regret!
Very easy prof. Online class is so easy and interesting. Most lecture videos are from crash course which I find very fun. Highly recommend!!!
AMAZING took her for PSYCH 2510- Intro to psych Fall 2022, It is going great. She is so sweet. Easy and interesting class :)
The kindest professor I have ever had! She really wants you to succeed, after every quiz she would send me an email giving her feedback and basically saying good job. In my class, the grade was only based on 5 quizzes, but I really liked this. She had no mandatory work other than the quizzes. <<
Professor Decker was a phenomenal teacher and an even better human being. She really strives to help her students understand the material and gives us valuable information along the way. There are 5 exams but she drops the lowest score. There was only one homework activity and it was very interesting. I would recommend taking her.
The whole course is essentially just 20-question quizzes after every other class. The professor is a good teacher, she doesn't go overboard on the content and keeps it manageable. The only other thing you have to do is attend every day for points. Overall, a nice easy course for people who are just taking it for the mandatory credits.
An absolute AMAZING professor. She cares so much about her students and wants students to enjoy her class. She finds ways to always make the class interesting whether she's cracking jokes, doing experiments, or showing students educational videos. I highly recommend taking a class with her if you get a chance, even if its not required for you.
She is the BEST intro psychology professor you can take at OCC! She cares about her students and ensures throughout the semester that you're doing well. She does motivation comments in her lectures and emails to ensure you do well in class. Very easy class and you can do the lectures in your own pace. There is only 5 quizzes for the whole semester.
Amazing professor
Amazing professor. She is very kind and thoughtful. Content was easy to understand, and there were only 5 quizzes the entire semester. Definitely would recommend!
Loved LOVED LOVED this psychology class! Professor Decker was hands down my favorite professor!! We had 5 quizzes, no final exam, and opportunities to receive extra credit. She was always so sweet, willing to help you with anything, and very understanding. I would love to take this class again!
She was the best!
SUUUPER EASY CLASS she gives you notes that make it pointless to take notes although you probably still should. She does make attendance mandatory but if you need to leave early tell her and she's completely fine with it. I didn't really study at all for the class and still got over 100%. I personally learned a lot from this class and found it fun
Loved her. Very sweet, helpful, thoughtful and genuine lady. Class was fun and easy. Liked her lectures and stories. Notes were very helpful.
Decker has by far been my favorite professor so far. I take asynchronous classes & she made the course super easy to navigate and understand. Although I never met her or sat in a classroom of hers, I could feel her warmth and compassion through the screen. Left sweet notes on announcements! 11/10, others profs, take notes from Professor Decker!
Professor Decker's Intro to Psych class has been one of the best classes I've taken throughout my college career. It is a lecture/power-point heavy but that comes with the territory of an all-online course. Everything you need to know for the weekly quizzes is in the power points provided. Overall 10/10 100% recommend.
Trust me when I say Professor Decker is one of the most caring people I have ever met in my whole life! I loved her lectures and she really cares about her student's passing. She is a very fair grader too. There were like 10 quizzes altogether which were easy and a few other assignments which weren't difficult at all. I can't recommend her enough!
Would highly recommend. Lectures are made interesting. Little homework. Quizzes were done online and open note. AMAZING PROFESSOR
Amazing professor. No exams only quizzes that are online and open note. She is the most respectful professor ever and most understanding. She cared for us like her own children! No joke. Please take her ! Don't take a chance with another professor, she is honestly amazing.
Best professor I've ever had. So sweet and always sent nice emails saying how proud she is. 5 open note quizzes and the lowest score dropped I got 100% on 4 quizzes so didn't have to take the last one. Very easy class she provides lots of resources for you to be successful. Overall really cares about her students and wants them to succeed.
All I have to say is that she is the best professor I have ever had. She is so caring and checks up on you every week, and after each quiz, she emails you. The class is pretty easy; it consists of only 5 quizzes, and she drops your lowest grade. They are all open books, so it would be very difficult for you to fail. Take her class, for sure!!
One of the most sweetest and caring professors i've ever had! She literally gives you everything you need to succed in her class notes, study guides, copy of pwr points. All exams are online and open note( impossible to fail) highly reccomend her!!!
Professor Decker is one of the best teachers I've had. Her class is super easy - just 5 open-note quizzes with the lowest score dropped. She's very caring and sends motivational emails. unstuckstudy ai was a big help for test prep too.
She is amazing.
Prof Decker knows her stuff and wants you to learn to. Amazing, would take again.
I took Professor Deckers PSY 1510 class online and I loved it ! The grading criteria was clear and the lectures were easy to follow and understand. 10/10, I would definitely take another class of hers.
Understanding hardworking gives feedback and cares for students with disabilities. She uses great props too.

This is one of the nicest professors I have ever had. She clearly cares for the students and their learning. If one reads the lectures, they will most likely pass this class. The 5 quizzes she gives pull the information right from them. She checks in on students and is a very encouraging person. I recommend this class for everyone!
Absolutely amazing professor. The guidelines for the class are so easy, just read a couple modules from the online textbook, go over the lecture powerpoint. Lectures are informative and easy to understand. She even provides crash course videos for us to watch. Quizzes are easy and they are open note, open lecture, open textbook, open internet

Decker is so caring and I respect her so much, I took her a while ago and learning with her is so fun and easy! I would be willing to take this course again and again but with HER!
