Don`t take any of her classes, the stuff that she teaches in class have nothing to do with the midterms. She`s useless, and should retire.

Really boring class, marks papers WAY too critically for a 2nd year class. Reads off the powerpoints, no point in going to class. Not recommended

Worst teacher ever. Absolutely do not take a class from her if you have a choice.

A monkey could teach this class. Refused to clarify assignments. It took two weeks to mark one exam and a paper. Cheryl gave the study guide four days before the final. Do not take this class...save your soul.

Does not use the text book at all, strictly lecture slides. oesn't explain things properly and goes off on unnecassary rants that do not pertain to the class.

HANDS DOWN THE WORST PROF I HAVE EVER EVER EVER EVER HAD! If you take an honors course (history of psychological thought) and are NOT in the honors program she will instantly give you a D level mark. She plays favorites. She wrote and made the APA reference manual/guideline.. so she marks papers at a graduate level. Good luck at passing a paper.

She is a hard marker and hardly used the textbook in class. I found her to be very boring to listen to and had a hard time focussing in class, which also made my interest in attending her class incredibly low.

Cheryl comes across very rude through email correspondance. She is an extremely hard marker and will not budge when you try to discuss a grade. Very unhappy.

OMG!!!!!! Do not take this class with her!!!!! I failed my first mid term and barely passed my second midterm. I've talked with a few students who sit around me and they are the same. You know there is a problem with the prof when a lot of your students are failing.

Not a good prof for beginners in Psychology. She is not clear on her lectures. Her online notes are somehow the exactly the same form the text book. Her tests are very hard. Even if you study, there seems to be a play on words on the questions. Really hard to get an A as she said so herself, the average of her class falls only at 70%.

All of her midterms or tests are on whats in the textbook or whats in the videos you watch in class. TAKE notes of specific terms or psychological problems and procedures because YOU WILL NEED TO KNOW THESE FOR THE EXAM. If first year.. DONT take this class, it is BRUTAL. She said she is willing to help but is vague in what she responds for answers

A competent researcher, but a poor teacher. Having been through multiple classes with Cheryl I knew what to expect; dull lectures, unclear marking rubrics, and short answer based exams she can meticulously nitpick. When preparing for exams, make sure you know her powerpoint slides in and out.

The worst class I have been a part of in 4 years. She is very egotistical and spends way too much time talking about her personal experience and boasting about her non existent success. She has an un bearable lisp which makes it extremely difficult to focus. Often way off topic and wastes our time. She is very under qualified stay away!!!!!

The worst course I have taken in the last 4 years of university. Huge waste of time and money. Cheryl spends much of the class time talking about her personal life and her alleged accomplishments. Very unorganized and blames it on the fact that she teaches other classes, which is ironic because her other class is the same course. Terrible Lisp

As a person I liked her she is very interesting and fun to talk to! As a teacher ... thats another story I will never takes class with her. If u not in class, u fail. Tough marker picks at the smallest detail... This course is hard no matter teacher. Iv taken it twice.... for reasons... but my advice is take it with David, COG is better with him!

I found that most of her lecture is of her bragging of everything she has done in her life. (If its even truthful) I felt that I remember more of her personal bragging then the actual material. Avoid her class if you can.

Dry and boring lectures. Grading is subjective and skewed on her part. Even when you answer questions, the way she taught it in class you have a 50-50 chance of getting it wrong. When you ask questions via email regarding paper grading, she ignores the questions. Agreed to go over papers/tests but will not be open to grade challenge. Just terrible

I wish I had read the reviews on her before taking her class. Great person but a terrible teacher. Her power points are full of info which is very overwhelming and top of that she reads of the slides word for words. Her examples are pretty much her life stories, which she rambles on about. Tests are long and hard that can't be finished on time.

Lecture heavy, often side tasks about personal life stories no one cares about, tests and such are nearly partially relevant to lectures - better off just not going and studying off the lecture notes and textbook. 10/10 would not take her again

Cheryl is the worst professor I've had in all my years. She interrupts students and is very opinionated. Not only that, she marks your work based on your class attendance and is unrealistic in her grading. She does not provide rubrics or assignment feedback. She is also hard to reach outside of class and uses class time to talk about her life.

Lecture heavy, tests are nearly relevant to lectures. Very tough grader and her grades are unrealistic.

Her grading is really tough even if you answer questions, the same way she taught them in class you may get them wrong. Not really answers your questions sent by email about specific paper or grading.

Cheryl is a very friendly professor and seems to have a good understanding of neuroscience. She does, however, have a rather annoying lisp and marks very hard. Her tests are excessively long and heavy in the short answer department. While she includes lots of info on her slides, it seems overwhelming at times and I wish she included less.

I have taken many courses over my 5 years at the university. Cheryl is frequently testing on material not included in her dry, redundant, and lengthy lectures. Less than understanding, and zero passion for her position as a professor. I work hard to maintain my average, which was negatively affected by this course. Drop now if you have the chance.

Wouldn't recommend.

Cheryl has to be one of the laziest professors I have ever had. She is almost impossible to reach out of class and takes days to answer emails. It is evident she does not care about her students success and is so lazy she doesn't even grade our assignments. Would not recommend her. It is also so painful to listen to her prerecorded lectures.

Makes prerecorded lectures that are awful to sit through, all she does is read the slides word for word. I do not think she is fit to be a professor considering she does not take the time to help her students. It takes days for her to answer an email, and is not the kindest person. She is not understanding when you need help, which is quite sad.

Cheryl Is a sweet person but she is a very tough grader and does not understand students circumstances. She expects too much of her students and it will leave you feeling like you're always running to catch up to her requirements. Avoid if you can , I wish I had read the ratings before taking her class.

I don't know if it was just because of online, but Cheryl was very distanced from teaching. She was hard to contact, rarely posted assignments at all ahead of time, and marks hard for written assignments that had very little description on how she wanted them. I would avoid her in future, the class was unfortunately quite disheartening.

Her online lectures videos are way longer than what the given class time is and its super boring. For the past few months mymru said the exam was 2 hours long but she only mentioned a few hours before the exam that shes only giving us 1 hour for 60 quesions and she didnt even post the final on time giving us only around 55 minutes.

Shes doesnt test you on anything that was taught, I was also marked unfairly as I have messed up on a single citation in my entire bibliography and she failed me for the whole course. This professor greatly affected my GPA and I would recommend you NEVER pick her if given the chance. She is also rude and unhelpful.

Im shocked Cheryl is still allowed to be a prof. She is so unfair and doesnt listen to anything you have to say. Her lectures are not only so painful to listen to, but they also have nothing to do with the exams and quizzes. Never answers emails and is almost offended when you ask for help.

This is the worst class I've ever taken. Cheryl's tests are completely irrelevant to her lectures: solely based on the finest details from the textbook. If this is not a mandatory class SKIP IT. This was the first class I've ever withdrawn from. I would never take a course by her again. Extremely hard marker. Lots of reading. Class avg 67% on exam

Im sure Cheryl is a great person, but I highly recommend avoiding this prof if you want to pass.

I feel bad for Cheryl as she went through a lot this semester, but through it all I felt she neglected our class her tests are very difficult and focus on small detail from the text book. Her online lectures are boring and lengthy as she reads the slides word for word part of the exams were group work which is totally unfair

The lectures she provides have literally nothing to do with the final exam and quizzes. They are so painful to sit through and doesn't even give you class PowerPoints. Never responds to you in a timely manner, and sometimes not even at all. Does not treat students with the respect they deserve.

For utilizing someone else's notes to study (which is part of my accommodations, which I literally written in my accommodations that I can use other students' notes to help me study), she gave me a F in class.

If you can, avoid Cheryl at all costs. Her exams have absolutely nothing to do with the course material and are way too specific. Her lectures are way too long, far past the 3 hour limit, and dont teach you anything. Best thing for you to do is to read every word of the textbook and teach it to yourself. I cant believe how much I pay for this.

the WORST! I had to retake this class and guess what did way better with another prof. Most of the lecture time is taken up with her stories. No matter how much you prepare, it's like you haven't even studied. Take 2265 with any other prof bc she will make you fail. She actually prides herself in not giving students an A.

Is not super engaged with her students and expects you to memorize the entire textbook. Lectures are extremely long and had nothing to do with material we were tested on. Not accessible outside of class and is overall not super understanding and there is absolutely no room for mess ups... feels as if she does not want her students to succeed.

Makes attendance a whopping 15% of the grade so you can't skip a lecture without your grade inevitably going down. Is extremely unaccomodating. I hope I NEVER have a class with her again.

Expects a strict adherence to her instructions, even vague ones. Go outside of them and your marks will suffer. Sees students as inferior, disregards student concerns or feedback. Reading is 2 chapters/week minimum but lectures may cover one page of a chapter. holds multiple exams covering alot of content (calls them quizzes). Don't trust her, run

The only class that i will most likely get a low marks at. She have very confusing slides that doesn't help much for her test. The test is mostly consist of applying what you learned which requires you to understand the subject very deeply unlike how she present it in class. Attendance is 15% of marks. Nice but wouldn't recommend.

Overcomplicates simple concepts. When she ran out of time to teach three chapters, she expected us to learn them on our own the week before our midterm. I am normally a straight A student and I was not able to thrive in this class. She disabled students right to leave a review of her teaching for this class through MRU, which should speak measures.

I was told good things about her by a few people and decided to take the course without listening to her rating. Listen to the rating her lectures are so disorganised, she is not helpful, and the ammount of random tangents on all the important psychologists she knows are so unneeded.

I chose this class because she's the only cog psych professor at MRU, but I wish I'd gone to another school entirely for this course. Her lectures are disorganized with no clear exam guidelines, and when I sought help, she laughed and dismissed me, saying "this is university." It doesn't matter how hard you try, Cheryl sets students up for failure.

Unfortunate situation where the prof switched from someone to Cheryl at the beginning of the sem. I wish I had taken the course another time. Her examples used in class always left me more confused than if I were to learn the material on my own. Lectures were dry + not very engaging, and I never knew what content would be tested on exams.

I did not enjoy taking this class with Cheryl. Her lectures were confusing and her exams were challenging. Attendance is also mandatory. I do not recommend her.

Attendance is everything in her class. The exams are brutal—8 to 10 short answers depending on her mood, plus over 50 multiple choice questions. If you're not showing up to lectures, good luck passing. And don't count on getting a reply from her anytime soon—it could take weeks, even months. Oh, and she definitely has favorites. It's pretty obvious
