She won't only be your professor, but also your mentor and friend. She even took me to Bellevue fashion week as her assistant after she knew I was interested in the fashion industry!

What an excellent teacher! Her PR class was one of the best classes I have taken in BC because it not only taught me a lot about writing great press releases but also about many things that a company can do to improve their perception by public. I would definitely recommend Cheryl to anyone who wants a caring, loving, fun and upbeat teacher.

Attendance is mandatory on project days to present and to watch others, but other than that it's pretty optional (However, most of the class is based on what's presented and not on the book, so those who show up do better). Very caring teacher and an inspiration with the work she's been a part of. Would definitely take again for a marketing course!

Most of your grade relies on group project submissions but working with others is complicated online. Cheryl herself is very kind and a strong teacher but not concise on her expectations and could provide more info during the one weekly lecture or actually assign readings from the textbook. You may as well avoid buying it. Better class to take irl.

Best class I've ever taken at BC! She's an amazing professor and is so organized. I love listening to her lectures and hearing about the things she's learned as a PR professional. She grades fairly and will provide you amazing feedback that will guide you through your projects. I am considering a career in PR because of her!

She was very flexible when students were unavailable and worked around it to figure out how they can present for the final presentation. She seemed to be very educated in marketing and hit all the major information we needed to learn.

Professor Engstrom paces her class well. We were able to really just complete a whole presentation over the quarter, evenly spaced out, with a lot of guidance and feedback on each section of the project. She is very knowledgeable and her classes go by quickly. I will be taking other classes with her in the future.

Cheryl is one of those professors that can make you change your path to the marketing direction, because the class is incredible. Her knowledge, experience, examples, feedback, care and attention, and above all her vocation for teaching, make Cheryl the best teacher I have had so far. Please, don't miss the oportunity to learn with her.

I think she was very good. I got a good grade. It kind of depends on what group you get in for all the group projects. I was in a good group so I got a good grade but others were in worse groups and got worse grades. Overall though, it was a really fun class and not too hard.

Cheryl is a great prof. She's super kind/engaging with her class, and it's helpful she's had career experience. Her instruction for online assignments was occasionally misleading, but she's open to feedback. The whole course was a group assignment and few individual ones... so if you don't like group work, you probably shouldn't take this class.

Amazing professor. Her lectures are very and interactive. She loves answering questions and is very enthusiastic about teaching students about marketing. The work is really fun and she gives plenty of time to do the main group work in class and the online work is pretty good, too. Overall, a really nice and caring professor.

Professor was so good. Kept class entertaining and made sure students had time to complete at least half of their work in class. Makes sure students are engaged, lectures are very fun and is not a repeat of what is in the textbook. She kept everyone listening and I learned a lot about marketing, business and being confident in this class.

Professor Engstrom was a great instructor! She assigned easy weekly hw with a chapter to read, and two super easy quizzes. She does assign a group presentation which makes up a huge part of your grade, so you MUST participate and contribute with a positive attitude. My total time spent on hw each week was about 2 hours. Good luck if you take her!

Communication was basically non existent, grades often took over 3-4 weeks, did not respond to emails, did not upload material in time or material that wasn't even for the class, syllabus had contradicting information, I heard good things about her classes in person, but I won't be taking another online class with her

I think that Cheryl is a good professor for in-person classes (I've heard great things from other students) but with online classes, not so much. The communication was off, she didn't really answer to emails or send announcements to keep in touch with us. At the beginning of the quarter she didn't post lessons for weeks. Easy professor tho.

Overall, Professor Engstrom was nice, but taking an online class with her was not exactly the best. Her communication was very unclear when grading assignments. Heard good things about taking her classes in person, but online I wouldn't recommend. She graded assignments pretty late, which affected my grade, and was not clear about resubmission.

I have taken two classes with this professor (both in-person and online) and I love her teaching style. Cheryl is extremely knowledgeable and encouraging. Late work isn't encouraged but oftentimes accepted. She really enjoys getting to know you and your thinking style. Super supportive professor, just make sure you communicate!

Cheryl took forever to grade, forever to respond and had unclear expectations. I've never had a class where we pay A LOT extra for Stukent's Simternship just to abandon it totally. Said she would do things like fix grades/assignments then never did and gave attitude when reminded (several times). we did milestones w no feedback on the last 4 or 5.

It is last day of qtr why is my stuff from 1 month ago not graded yet?? She claimed 24 hr response time, more like 6weeks. I learned 0 about PR from Cheryl. Like if you are going to use outside sources lemme just take the class on my own, lady. A waste of my time&financial aid. Don't blame Stukent--u just dont know how to use it. ThisDMprogramsucks

Amazing person, she really cares about what she teaches, but she doesn't know how to actually teach it. She's entirely reliant on Stukent. She always says there's some problem with it, but it's really just that she doesn't know how to use it. No response to emails at all. Handles group projects well. Will remove people who don't contribute.
